Introduction

This document contains generally applicable rules for the presentation of views, sections and cuts in all

kinds of technical product documentation. The first-angle projection method (formerly referred to as

method E) and the third-angle projection method (formerly referred to as method A) are described in

more detail in ISO 5456-2.

All figures in this document, excluding Figure 1, Figure 6 and Figure 7, have been drawn in first-angle

projection method unless other methods are stated. It should be understood that third-angle projection

or other methods could have been used equally well without prejudice to the principles established.

The application of views, sections and cuts within drawings of special technical fields varies considerably.

Therefore, rules of application specific to technical fields are given in AnnexAnnexes A, B and C.

4 Basic conventions for views
4.1 General information on views

The most informative view of an object shall be used as the principle view, taking into consideration, for

example, its functioning position, position of manufacturing or mounting.

Each view, with the exception of the front or principal figure (view, plan, principal figure), shall be given

clear identification with a capital letter, repeated near the reference arrow needed to indicate the

direction of viewing for the relevant view. Whatever the direction of viewing, the capital letter shall

always be positioned in normal relation to the direction of reading and be indicated either above or on

the right side of the reference arrow.

The reference arrow is defined in Annex A (for the former practice of arc arrow, see Annex B), as is the

lettering height of the identification.

The designated views may be located irrespective of the principal figure. The capital letters identifying

the referenced views shall be placed immediately above the relevant views (see Figure 1).

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 128-3:2022(E)
Figure 1 — Identification of referenced views

For applying views and sections to mechanical engineering technical drawings, Annex C and Annex D

shall apply. For applying projection methods in building technical drawings, Annex E shall apply. For

applying views, sections and cuts to construction technical drawings, Annex F shall apply.

4.2 Choice of views

When views (including cuts and sections) are needed, these shall be selected according to the following

principles:

— limit the number of views (and cuts and sections) to the minimum necessary but sufficient to fully

delineate the object without ambiguity;
— avoid the need for hidden outlines and edges;
— avoid unnecessary repetition of a detail.
Views and sections for 3D models are given in ISO 16792.
4.3 Partial views

Features needing specific illustration, but not meriting a full view, can be illustrated using a partial view

limited by a continuous narrow line with zigzags of type 01.1 according to ISO 128-2:— (see Figure 2).

Figure 2 — Partial view
4.4 Simplified view of symmetrical parts

To save time and space, symmetrical objects can be drawn as a fraction of the whole [see Figure 3 a), b)

and c)].

The line of symmetry is identified at each of its ends by two narrow short parallel lines drawn at right

angles to it [see Figure 3 a), b) and c)]. The graphical symbol for symmetry shall be drawn in accordance

with A.3.

4.11 Other projection methods

Refer to ISO 5456-2 for information on other projection methods, such as mirrored orthographic

projections.
4.12 Enlarged features

When the scale of a technical drawing does not allow all features to be clearly shown or dimensioned, the

unclear features shall be enclosed or encircled by a continuous narrow line (type 01.1), with the area thus

enclosed identified by a capital letter. The features in the area shall also be shown on an enlarged scale,

in a view that is broken with a continuous narrow freehand/ or free-formed curve line (type 01.1). This

shall be accompanied by the identification letter and an indication of the scale beside it between

parentheses, as shown in Figure 8. The rules for lettering height are discussed in Annex A.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 128-3:2022(E)
Figure 8 — Enlarged features

For unambiguous relation between the circle and the identification letter, a leader line by a continuous

narrow line (type 01.1) and a reference line by a continuous narrow line (type 01.1) should be drawn.

See Figure 9.
Figure 9 — Enlarged features with leader line
5 Reference indication for views and enlarged features
5.1 General

On large-format mechanical technical drawings and technical drawings consisting of more than one

drawing sheet with an extensive amount of views and enlarged features, the readability should be

improved by information (reference indication) after the identification letter of the views.

The purpose is to find the views and the identification letters more easily on the technical drawing or

drawings.

On construction drawings, designations for views and enlarged features can be complemented by general

reference to other drawings containing the views/ or features.
5.2 Details of the reference indication

The reference indication after the identification letter on the views shall be in accordance with

ISO 15519-1.

6 General information on cuts and sections
6.1 General

The general rules for the arrangement of views apply equally when drawing cuts and sections.

6.2 Indication of cuts and sections
6.2.1 Cutting plane

The position of the cutting plane(s) shall be indicated by means of a cutting line represented with a

dashed dotted wide line (type 10.2) according to ISO 128-2:—, Annex E and Annex G. A straight cutting

plane shall be drawn (see Figure 12).

If the cutting plane changes its direction, the cutting line should only be drawn at the ends of the cutting

plane, where the cutting plane changes direction (see Figure 13).

If necessary for its legibility, the cutting line may be connected with a long-dashed dotted narrow line of

the type 04.1 according to ISO 128-2:—, Annex D or 04.1 according to ISO 128-2:—, Annex F)..

The direction of viewing for the relevant cut and section is indicated by the reference arrows as defined

in Annex A.

The designated cut and section can be located irrespective of the view in which the cutting plane is taken.

Representation of areas on cuts and sections is covered in Clause 7.
6.2.2 Identification of the cutting plane

Each cut and section plane shall be given clear identification with twice the same capital letter, once at

each of the cut and section arrows. This identification should be positioned for reading from the bottom

of the technical drawing.

The 30° or 90° cut and section arrow is defined in A.4, as is the lettering height of the identification.

6.2.3 Identification of the cuts and sections

The identification of the referenced cuts and sections shall be placed immediately above the relevant

representation. (see Figure 12 and 13).

Introduction

This document contains generally applicable rules for the presentation of views, sections and cuts in all

kinds of technical product documentation. The first-angle projection method (formerly referred to as

method E) and the third-angle projection method (formerly referred to as method A) are described in

more detail in ISO 5456-2.

All figures in this document, excluding Figure 1, Figure 6 and Figure 7, have been drawn in first-angle

projection method unless other methods are stated. It should be understood that third-angle projection

or other methods could have been used equally well without prejudice to the principles established.

The application of views, sections and cuts within drawings of special technical fields varies

considerably. Therefore, rules of application specific to technical fields are given in Annexes A, B and C.

4 Basic c onventions for views
4.1 Gener al information on views

The most informative view of an object shall be used as the principle view, taking into consideration, for

example, its functioning position, position of manufacturing or mounting.

Each view, with the exception of the front or principal figure (view, plan, principal figure), shall be

given clear identification with a capital letter, repeated near the reference arrow needed to indicate the

direction of viewing for the relevant view. Whatever the direction of viewing, the capital letter shall

always be positioned in normal relation to the direction of reading and be indicated either above or on

the right side of the reference arrow.

The reference arrow is defined in Annex A (for the former practice of arc arrow, see Annex B), as is the

lettering height of the identification.

The designated views may be located irrespective of the principal figure. The capital letters identifying

the referenced views shall be placed immediately above the relevant views (see Figure 1).

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 128-3:2022(E)
Figure 1 — Identification of referenced views

For applying views and sections to mechanical engineering technical drawings, Annex C and Annex D

shall apply. For applying projection methods in building technical drawings, Annex E shall apply. For

applying views, sections and cuts to construction technical drawings, Annex F shall apply.

4.2 Choic e of views

When views (including cuts and sections) are needed, these shall be selected according to the following

principles:

— limit the number of views (and cuts and sections) to the minimum necessary but sufficient to fully

delineate the object without ambiguity;
— avoid the need for hidden outlines and edges;
— avoid unnecessary repetition of a detail.
Views and sections for 3D models are given in ISO 16792.
4.3 Partial views

Features needing specific illustration, but not meriting a full view, can be illustrated using a partial view

limited by a continuous narrow line with zigzags of type 01.1 according to ISO 128-2:— (see Figure 2).

Figure 2 — Partial view
4.4 Simplified view of symmetrical parts

To save time and space, symmetrical objects can be drawn as a fraction of the whole [see Figure 3 a), b)

and c)].

The line of symmetry is identified at each of its ends by two narrow short parallel lines drawn at right

angles to it [see Figure 3 a), b) and c)]. The graphical symbol for symmetry shall be drawn in accordance

with A.3.
a) Example 1 b) Example 2 c) Example 3
Figure 3 — Examples of simplified views of symmetrical parts
4.5 First-ang le projection method

The first-angle projection method, if used, shall be in accordance with ISO 5456-2.

4.6 First-ang le projection method views

With reference to the front view, (a), the other views are arranged as follows (see Figure 4):

— the view from above, (b), is placed underneath;
— the view from below, (e), is placed above;
— the view from the left, (c), is placed on the right;

4.8 Thir d-angle projection method

The third-angle projection method, if used, shall be in accordance with ISO 5456-2.

4.9 Thir d-angle projection method views

With reference to the front view, (a), the other views are arranged as follows (see Figure 6):

— the view from above, (b), is placed above;
— the view from below, (e), is placed underneath;
— the view from the left, (c), is placed on the left;
— the view from the right, (d), is placed on the right;

— the view from the rear, (f), may be placed on the left or right, as convenient.

4.11 Other pr ojection methods

Refer to ISO 5456-2 for information on other projection methods, such as mirrored orthographic

projections.
4.12 Enlarged features

When the scale of a technical drawing does not allow all features to be clearly shown or dimensioned,

the unclear features shall be enclosed or encircled by a continuous narrow line (type 01.1), with the

area thus enclosed identified by a capital letter. The features in the area shall also be shown on an

enlarged scale, in a view that is broken with a continuous narrow freehand or free-formed curve line

(type 01.1). This shall be accompanied by the identification letter and an indication of the scale beside

it between parentheses, as shown in Figure 8. The rules for lettering height are discussed in Annex A.

Figure 8 — Enlarged features

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 128-3:2022(E)

For unambiguous relation between the circle and the identification letter, a leader line by a continuous

narrow line (type 01.1) and a reference line by a continuous narrow line (type 01.1) should be drawn.

See Figure 9.
Figure 9 — Enlarged features with leader line
5 R eference indication for views and enlarged features
5.1 General

On large-format mechanical technical drawings and technical drawings consisting of more than one

drawing sheet with an extensive amount of views and enlarged features, the readability should be

improved by information (reference indication) after the identification letter of the views.

The purpose is to find the views and the identification letters more easily on the technical drawing or

drawings.

On construction drawings, designations for views and enlarged features can be complemented by

general reference to other drawings containing the views or features.
5.2 Details of the r eference indication

The reference indication after the identification letter on the views shall be in accordance with

ISO 15519-1.
Examples with explanation are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11.

ISO/FDIS 128-3:2022(E)
6 Gener al information on cuts and sections
6.1 General

The general rules for the arrangement of views apply equally when drawing cuts and sections.

6.2 Indication of cuts a nd sections
6.2.1 Cutting plane

The position of the cutting plane(s) shall be indicated by means of a cutting line represented with a

dashed dotted wide line (type 10.2) according to ISO 128-2:—, Annex E and Annex G. A straight cutting

plane shall be drawn (see Figure 12).

If the cutting plane changes its direction, the cutting line should only be drawn at the ends of the cutting

plane, where the cutting plane changes direction (see Figure 13).

If necessary for its legibility, the cutting line may be connected with a long-dashed dotted narrow line

of the type 04.1 according to ISO 128-2:—, Annex D or 04.1 according to ISO 128-2:—, Annex F.

The direction of viewing for the relevant cut and section is indicated by the reference arrows as defined

in Annex A.

The designated cut and section can be located irrespective of the view in which the cutting plane is

taken.
Representation of areas on cuts and sections is covered in Clause 7.
6.2.2 Identification of the cutting plane

Each cut and section plane shall be given clear identification with twice the same capital letter, once at

each of the cut and section arrows. This identification should be positioned for reading from the bottom

of the technical drawing.

The 30° or 90° cut and section arrow is defined in A.4, as is the lettering height of the identification.

6.2.3 Identification of the cuts and sections

The identification of the referenced cuts and sections shall be placed immediately above the relevant

representation. (see Figure 12 and 13).

6.2.4 Reference indication for cuts and sections
6.2.4.1 General

On large-format technical drawings and technical drawings consisting of more than one drawing sheet

with an extensive number of cuts and sections, the readability should be improved by information

(reference indication) after the identification letter of the cutting plane and the identification letters of

the referenced cuts and sections.

The purpose is to find the cuts and sections and the identification letters more easily on the technical

drawing or drawings.
The cut and section arrows shall be drawn in accordance with A.5.
6.2.4.2 Details of the reference indication

The reference indication after the identification letter on the views shall be in accordance with

ISO 15519-1.
Examples with explanation are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 and Table 2.

number 54934 on sheet 2 at coordinates D5.
Cutting plane identification A is represented on
technical drawing 54932 on sheet 1 at coordinates A8.
6.3 S ections revolved in the relevant view

If unambiguous, a section can be revolved in the relevant view. If this is done, the outline of the section

shall be drawn with continuous narrow lines of the type 01.1 according to ISO 128-2:—. Further

identification is then not necessary [see Figure 14 a) and b)].
NOTE The rotational direction of the section in the view is unknown.

Introduction

Le présent document comprend des règles généralement applicables pour la représentation de vues,

sections et coupes dans toutes sortes de documentations techniques de produits. La méthode de

projection du premier dièdre (qui étaient auparavant la méthode E) et la méthode de projection du

troisième dièdre (qui étaient auparavant la méthode A) sont décrites plus en détail dans l’ISO 5456-2.

Toutes les figures dans le présent document, à l'axception de la Figure 1, de la Figure 6 et de la Figure 7,

ont été dessinées selon la méthode de projection du premier dièdre, sauf si d'autres méthodes sont

précisées. Il convient de comprendre que la projection du troisième dièdre ou d'autres méthodes

auraient pu tout aussi bien être utilisées sans remettre en cause les principes établis.

L’application des vues, sections et coupes dans les dessins de domaines techniques particuliers varie

considérablement. Par conséquent, les règles d’application spécifiques aux champs techniques sont

données dans les Annexes A, B et C.

4 Conventions de base pour les vues
4.1 Informations générales sur les vues

La vue la plus caractéristique de l'objet doit être choisie comme vue de principe, en prenant en

considération, par exemple, sa position d'utilisation, de fabrication ou de montage.

Chaque vue, à l'exception de la vue de la figure de face ou principale (vue, plan, figure principale)

doit avoir une identification claire avec une lettre majuscule, répétée à côté de la flèche de référence

nécessaire pour indiquer la direction d'observation de la vue concernée. Quelle que soit la direction

d'observation, la lettre majuscule doit toujours être positionnée dans le sens perpendiculaire à la

direction de lecture et indiquée au-dessus ou à droite de la flèche de référence.

La flèche repère est définie dans l'Annexe A (pour l’ancienne pratique de l'arc fléché, voir Annexe B), de

même que la hauteur des caractères de l'identifiant.

Les vues désignées peuvent être placées indifféremment par rapport à la figure principale. Les lettres

majuscules identifiant les vues référencées doivent être placées immédiatement au-dessous des vues

correspondantes (voir Figure 1).

ISO/FDIS 128-3:2022(F)
Figure 1 — Identification des vues référencées

Pour appliquer les vues et sections aux dessins techniques de génie mécanique, l'Annexe A et l'Annexe D

doivent s'appliquer. Pour appliquer les méthodes de projection aux dessins techniques de la construction,

l'Annexe E doit s'appliquer. Pour appliquer les vues, sections er coupes aux dessins techniques de la

construction, l'Annexe F doit s'appliquer.
4.2 Choix des vues

Lorsque des vues (y compris des coupes et des sections) sont nécessaires, elles doivent être choisies de

manière à:

— limiter le nombre de vues (et de coupes et de sections) au minimum nécessaire, mais suffisant pour

définir complètement l'objet sans ambiguïté;
— éviter la représentation de nombreux contours ou arêtes cachés;
— éviter la répétition inutile de détails.
Les vues et sections pour des modèles 3D sont données dans l’ISO 16792.
4.3 Vues partielles

Les éléments, qui nécessitent une illustration spécifique mais pas une vue entière, peuvent être

représentés par une vue partielle, délimitée par un trait continu fin avec zigzags, type 01.1 selon

l’ISO 128-2:— (voir Figure 2).

Figure 2 — Vue partielle
4.4 Vue simplifiée de parties symétriques

Pour gagner du temps et de l'espace, les pièces symétriques peuvent être représentées par une fraction

de leur vue complète [voir Figure 3 a), b) et c)].

Le trait du plan de symétrie doit être repéré à chacune de ses extrémités par deux petits traits fins

parallèles, perpendiculaires au trait [voir Figure 3 a), b) et c)]. Le symbole graphique de symétrie doit

être réalisé conformément à l'A.3.
a) Exemple 1 b) Exemple 2 c) Exemple 3
Figure 3 — exemples de vues simplifiées de parties symétriques
Méthode de projection du premier dièdre

La méthode de projection du premier dièdre, si elle est utilisée, doit être conforme à l'ISO 5456-2.

Vues selon la méthode de projection du premier dièdrePar rapport à la vue de face (a), les autres vues

sont disposées comme suit (voir Figure 4):
— la vue de dessus (b) est placée au-dessous;
— la vue de dessous (e) est placée au-dessus;
— la vue de gauche (c) est placée à droite;
— la vue de droite (d) est placée à gauche;
— la vue de derrière (f) est placée à droite ou à gauche, selon la nécessité.

4.7 Autres méthodes de projection

Se reporter à l’ISO 5456-2 pour des informations sur d’autres méthodes de projection telles que les

projections orthographiques en miroir.
4.8 Éléments représentés à plus grande échelle

Lorsque l’échelle d'un dessin technique est trop petite pour permettre une représentation et une

cotation claires de tous les éléments, ceux-ci doivent être entourés d’un trait continu fin (type 01.1) et

repérés par une lettre majuscule. Les éléments dans la surface doivent aussi être représentés à plus

grande échelle dans une vue qui est cassée avec un trait continu fin à main levée ou un trait courbe

librement formé (type 0.1.1). Il doit être accompagné d’une lettre d’identification et d'une identification

de l’échelle choisie donnée entre parenthèses, tel que présenté à la Figure 8. Les règles pour la hauteur

des lettres sont présentés en Annexe A.

ISO/FDIS 128-3:2022(F)
Figure 8 — Éléments représentés à plus grande échelle

Pour une relation univoque entre le cercle et la lettre d’identification, il convient de tracer une ligne

repère par un trait continu fin (type 01.1) et un trait de référence par un trait continu fin (type 01.1).

Voir Figure 9.
Figure 9 — Éléments représentés à plus grande échelle avec ligne repère
5 Indication de référence pour les vues et éléments représentés à plus grande
échelle
5.1 Généralités

Dans des dessins techniques mécaniques de grand format et des dessins techniques comprenant plus

d'une feuille de dessin avec un nombre important de vues et d’éléments représentés à plus grande

échelle, il convient que la lisibilité soit améliorée par des informations (indication de référence) après la

lettre d'identification des vues.

L’objet est de trouver les vues et les lettres d'identification plus facilement sur le ou les dessins

techniques.

Sur les dessins de construction, les désignations pour les vues et les éléments représentés à plus grande

échelle peuvent être complétés par une référence générale à d'autres dessins contenant les vues ou les

éléments.
5.2 Détails de l'indication de référence

L’indication de référence après la lettre d'identification sur les vues doit être conforme à l'ISO 15519-1.

Des exemples avec une explication sont présentés dans la Figure 10 et la Figure 11.

6 Informations générales sur les coupes et les sections
6.1 Généralités

Les règles générales sur la disposition des vues s'appliquent également aux représentations des coupes

et des sections.
6.2 Indication des coupes et des sections
6.2.1 Plans de coupe

La position du (des) plan(s) de coupe doit être repérée par une ligne de coupe représentée avec un trait

mixte fort à un point et un trait long (type 10.2) selon l’ISO 128-2:—, Annexe E et Annexe G. Un plan de

coupe droit doit être tracé (voir Figure 12).

Si le plan de coupe change de direction, il est recommandé que la ligne de coupe ne soit dessinée qu'aux

extrémités du plan de coupe et à l'endroit où celui-ci change de direction (voir Figure 13).

Si cela est nécessaire pour des raisons de lisibilité, la ligne de coupe connectée avec un trait mixte fin à

un point et un tiret long du type 04.1 selon l’ISO 128-2:—, Annexe D ou 04.1 de l’ISO 128-2:—, Annexe F.

La direction d'observation pour la coupe ou la section concernée est indiquée par les fléches repères

tels que définies dans l'Annexe A.

La coupe ou la section désignée peut être placée indifféremment par rapport à la vue dans laquelle est

pris le plan de coupe.

La représentation des surfaces sur les coupes ou les sections fait l’objet de l'Article 7.

6.2.2 Identification du plan de coupe

Chaque plan de coupe ou de section doit être repéré par une identification claire avec deux fois la même

lettre majuscule, une fois à chacune des fléches de coupe et de section. Il convient que cette identification

soit placée de manière à être lue à partir du bas du dessin technique.

Les fléches de vue et de section à 30° ou à 90° sont définies dans A.4, ainsi que la hauteur des lettres de

l'identification.
