CHAPTER 5

Auxiliary Views
5.1 Introduction:
So far we have been able to draw four different views of the same block. In most
engineering drawings these are sufficient but there are occasions when other views
are necessary, perhaps to clarify a particular point. The figure below shows an
example where a view other than a FE or an EE is needed to show very important
features of a flanged pipe. These extra elevations are called auxiliary elevations
(AE) or auxiliary plans (AP).

Fig. 5.1 Auxiliary Plan Showing the Face of the Flange (ref.[1])

5.2 The Auxiliary Plane


Does surface “ABCD”appear
true size or shape in any
regular view? In this case, the
auxiliary plane is assumed to
be parallel to surface
“ABCD”. The line of sight is
perpendicular to surface
“ABCD”. The auxiliary plane
is perpendicular to the frontal
plane and is hinged to it.
When the horizontal &
auxiliary planes are unfolded
to appear in the same plane as
the frontal plane, the folding
lines represent the hinge lines
joining the planes.

5.3 Partial Auxiliary Views

5.4.1 Half auxiliary view


If an auxiliary is
symmetrical, and if it is
necessary to save space on
the drawing, only half of the
auxiliary may be drawn.

Fig. 5.3 (ref.[11])

5.5 Auxiliary View Sections


An auxiliary section is simply an auxiliary view in section. The same guidelines
apply to auxiliary sections as they do to regular view sections.

5.6 Curvature in auxiliary view


A cylindrical part that is cut by an inclined plane results in a surface that is an
ellipse and can only be shown true size and shape with an auxiliary view.

Example 5.1

For the object shown and looking


from the direction of arrow FV,
draw the top view, elevation and
the top auxiliary view showing the
surface Q in its true shape.

Solution

(ref.[6])

49
Auxiliary Views

Step 1
Draw the top view and the auxiliary
axis X1Y1

Step 2
Draw the top
auxiliary
view at a
distance
from the
auxiliary
axis X1Y1 =
the distance
from top
view and
main axis
XY.
The top
auxiliary
view
represents
the true
shape of the
surface Q in the isometric drawing.
Step 3
Draw the front view by projecting all points from the auxiliary view – via top view
– to the front view.

Step 4
Draw the thickness of the front view by making a curve parallel to the original curve
b'c'd'.
