Figure 5-10.-Use of a miter line.USE OF A MITER LINE.— A miter line(fig. 5-10) offers a convenient method oflaying out a third view while you are in theprocess of drawing two views. Place the miterline (fig. 5-10, view B) to the right of thetop view at a convenient distance, keepingthe appearance of a balanced drawing. Drawlight projection lines from the top view tothe miter line (fig. 5-10, view C), then verticallydownward (fig. 5-10, view D). Using the frontview, draw horizontal projection lines (fig. 5-10,view E) to the right, intersecting the verticalprojection lines. The result of this procedureis the outline and placement of the right side view(fig. 5-10, view F).Some EAs prefer to extend the top viewprojection lines to the right side view using thealternate method shown in figure 5-11.ARRANGEMENT OF VIEWS.— The sixprincipal views of an object drawn in a third-angleprojection are arranged according to theAmerican standard arrangement of views. Thisarrangement (practiced since the late 1800s)depicts the relative position of the six principalviews and their relationship to each other on adrafting plane.As shown in figure 5-12, all views (except thefront view) are rotated toward the observer asthough they are hinged.
