It depends on the purpose and type of the drawing.

If the scale would be necessary for proper interpretation of the drawing (e.g. mechanical drawing, plans for a building) then yes.

If the scale would not help in interpreting the drawing (e.g. electronics schematic, software data flow diagram) then no.

What is a non projective engineers drawing?

A non projective engineer's drawing is done without using any instruments like triangle and scale. Such a drawing is also called a sketch or free hand drawing.


What is the difference between technical drawing and freehand?

A technical drawing is drawn precisely to a scale. Measurements taken from the drawing can be scaled up to produce or build a full size structure or machine, etc. A freehand drawing could be a simple sketch, detailed drawing, rough doodle, of a subject and is classed as a picture.


How does a perspective drawing differ from an isometric drawing of the same object?

A perspective drawing represents an object in a way that mimics human eye perception, showing depth and distance by converging parallel lines towards a vanishing point. This creates a more realistic view, where objects appear smaller as they recede into the background. In contrast, an isometric drawing uses parallel lines to represent the object's dimensions without any perspective distortion, maintaining equal scale regardless of depth, resulting in a more technical and schematic appearance. Consequently, perspective drawings tend to be more visually engaging, while isometric drawings offer clarity in measurements and proportions.


What is an lsometric drawing?

An isometric drawing is a schematic detailing a three-dimensional object in an abstract space that has no vanishing point. So, you can see the thickness of the object, but all sides remain parallel, unlike how objects appear in real life. In real life, the sides of an object converge as they get farther and farther from the eye. Think of a building whose sides slope into a point off in the distant horizon. These drawings are helpful in giving precise measurements, scale, placement and proportions. A good example of an isometric drawing would be the assembly instructions that come with a piece of household furniture.


When we use mini drafter in engineering drawing?

The mini-drafter is a versatile tool and can be used for almost everything. It can be used to draw parallel lines, perpendiculars, inclined lines of any degree with unmatched speed. it consists of one long scale and one small scale and the scales are shaped in 'L' shaped and by a mini drafter we can do 3 kinds of works : 1) drawing of lines 2)drawing perpendiculars for the lines 3)we can use that as a protracter simultanously

How do you work out the scale of a drawing?

Not all drawings are done to scale, sketches of buildings and people for instance. However if it is a technical drawing the draughtsman/woman will state on the drawing the scale used.

How is a scale factor related to scale drawings?

The scale factor of a scale drawing is the ratio of any length in the drawing to the true corresponding length in the "real" object.


If you have accurate complete scale drawing and the scale which measurement of the object of the drawing can you find?

With an accurate complete scale drawing and the scale provided, you can determine the actual dimensions of the object represented in the drawing. By measuring the length of a feature in the drawing and applying the scale factor, you can convert that measurement to the real-world size. This method allows you to find various measurements, such as height, width, and depth, depending on what is represented in the drawing.
