Question

Which of the following lines are used to show that the object is cut and then viewed?

(a) Hidden lines

(b) Leader lines

(c) Centre lines

(d) Hatching Lines

I had been asked this question in an international level competition.

This interesting question is from Different Types of Lines in chapter Lines, Lettering and Dimensioning of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Hatching Lines

The best explanation: Hatching lines are used to show that the orthographic view is drawn after a section of the object is cut. They indicate that the object is cut and it shows the remaining solid body. Hidden lines are used to indicate holes or slots.
