Construction lines are used for laying out a drawing. Construction lines are drawn very lightly so that they will not reproduce and will not be mistaken for any other line on the drawing. Construction lines are drawn with a 4H to 6H pencil and if drawn properly, will not need to be erased. Use construction lines for all preliminary work.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dessin industriel
  • Dessin architectural et instruments
CONT

On trace toujours ces lignes de constructions en traits faibles afin de pouvoir les effacer facilement, car aucune ligne reliant les différentes vues ne doit apparaître sur un dessin.
