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 C, D, E and
F.

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).

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).

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.

4.5 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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
