Step-by-Step Construction

  1. 1

    Draw given projections with specified inclinations

  2. 2

    To obtain true shape, draw auxiliary projection perpendicular to longer edge

  3. 3

    In this view, the plate will be seen edge-on as a line

  4. 4

    Draw second auxiliary projection perpendicular to this edge view

  5. 5

    In second auxiliary view, plate shows true shape (80×50mm rectangle)

  6. 6

    Verify all dimensions and angles in true shape view

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
