Alphabet of Lines Alphabet of Lines The design industry has agreed on a set of standard lines that are used to represent various objects.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has developed this standard which is accepted throughout the industry.
Written down in a standards manual.

1. Start and end with a dash.2. If a hidden line is a continuation of a visible line then a gap is shown.3. A gap is also shown when a hidden line crosses but does not intersect another line.
Hidden lines should be omitted when they are not needed for clarity.
