Visible Object Linesare thick dark solid (unbroken) lines that are used on drawings
to indicate the edges and details of an object.
ALPHABET OF LINES
The different lines and line symbols used on drawings form a kind of
graphic alphabet commonly known as the alphabet of lines. Two line
widths-thick and thin-are generally used. Drawings are easier to read
when there is good contrast among different kinds of lines. All lines must
be uniformly sharp and black.

Center lines are thin lines made up of alternating long and short
dashes. They are used to indicate the center of symmetrical
features, such as circles or arcs. They are used as an aid in
dimensioning.

Cutting Plane or Viewing Plane Lines are very thick lines that indicate where an imaginary cutting plane passes through
an object, for viewing or sectioning purposes. Arrowheads on both ends of the line point toward the surface to be
viewed.

Break Lines are used to shorten a view, or to eliminate repetitive
details when an entire view is not necessary. Short break lines are thick wavy freehand lines. Long
