Step-by-Step Construction

  1. 1

    Since line is parallel to HP, both ends are at same height (30mm above HP)

  2. 2

    Draw top view inclined at 40° to XY line, showing true length (70mm)

  3. 3

    Front view will be parallel to XY line with length appearing foreshortened

  4. 4

    Mark the end point 15mm from XY in both views

  5. 5

    Complete projections with proper line conventions

Pro Tips

  • Always verify your measurements with a scale before finalizing the drawing
  • Use construction lines lightly and darken the final solution
  • Label all important points and reference lines clearly
