Projections of a Straight Line
Introduction
The shortest distance between any two points is called a "straight line". Different surfaces and planes form the configuration or shape of any object. Revolving or moving straight lines in different ways obtains these surfaces and planes. Thus a straight line is the basic conceptual
figure using which any object like a machine component or a structural element is represented.
Thus projection of a straight line is the foundation of Engineering Drawing. projections of two points gives the projection of the straight line joining the two points.
As per ISO convention the first angle of projection is used.
Objectives
To Define straight line.
To Draw the projections of a straight line located at different positions with respect to the VP and the HP.
