LINE PROBLEMS
Part 1: Problems 6.1 Through 6.11
1. Using the selected engineer’s layout as a guide only, create
an original drawing following your course objectives. Make
a preliminary sketch if required by your instructor. Draw
only the object lines, centerlines, hidden lines, and phantom
lines as appropriate for each problem. Do not draw dimen-
sions. Keep in mind that the engineer’s sketches are rough
and not meant for tracing.
2. Complete the drawing using the correct line standards de
scribed in this chapter.
3. Use an appropriately sized ASME sheet and use ASME sheet
blocks. Complete the title block.
a. The title of the drawing is given.
b. The material the part is made of is given.
c. The drawing or part number is the same as the problem
number.
d. Specify the scale and other unspecified information.
4. Reproduce your drawing for checking unless otherwise
specified by your instructor.

LETTERING PROBLEMS
Part 2: Problems 6.12 Through 6.14
Use a Gothic lettering style such as Arial, Century Gothic,
RomanS, or SansSerif unless otherwise specified by your instruc-
tor. Use text .12-in. (3-mm) high. Space lines of lettering .12 in.
apart unless otherwise specified by your instructor. Reproduce
your drawing for checking unless otherwise specified by your
instructor.
PROBLEM 6.12
The standard for lettering was established in 1935 by the Ameri-
can National Standards Institute. This standard is now conveyed
by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Document
ASME Y14.2, Line Conventions and Lettering. Letters and num-
bers should be opaque and clearly spaced. Lettering can be verti-
cal or inclined, but only one style should be used throughout the

drawing. Uppercase letters are used on drawings unless lower-
case letters are required for a specific application. The lettering
style used when revising a drawing should match the original
drawing lettering style.
PROBLEM 6.13
According to ASME Y14.2, the minimum recommended lettering
height depends on the drawing-sheet size and the application on
the drawing. Typically, lettering height on engineering drawings
is .12 in. (3 mm). All dimension numerals, notes, and other let-
tered information should be the same height except for titles,
drawing numbers, section and view letters, and other captions,
which are .24 in. (6 mm) high.
PROBLEM 6.14
NOTES:
1. Unless otherwise specified, all dimensions are in
millimeters.
2. Dimensions and tolerances per ASME Y14.5-2009.
3. Remove all burrs and sharp edges.
4. All fillets and rounds r6.
5. Caseharden 62 rockwell c scale.
6. Areas where material has been removed shall have smooth
transitions and be free of scratches, grind marks, and burrs.
7. Finish black oxide.
8. Part to be clean and free of foreign debris.

PROBLEM 6.16 Twenty-five pieces of metal are needed for a
job. Each piece is to be 3 3/320 in length. Disregarding the cutting loss,
what length of stock is needed?
PROBLEM 6.17 A piece of stock 25 7/80 long is to be cut into
five equal lengths. Allowing 1/160 lost per cut, what will be the length of
each of the five pieces?
PROBLEM 6.18 A drawing shows a dimension of 4.18750.
Convert this decimal fraction to a common fraction.
PROBLEM 6.19 Convert each decimal fraction to a common
fraction:
