UPMSP Intermediate Technical Drawing study plan

Set up a drawing board and instrument kit, then draw a title block and border to IS sheet conventions without erasing.

Project 12 points in all four quadrants, stating quadrant, distance from XY and each reference plane for every point.

Construct the true length and true inclination of 8 inclined lines by the rotating line and auxiliary plane methods.

Divide a line into 7 equal parts and construct polygons of 5, 6 and 8 sides on a given side using general methods.

Build a diagonal scale reading to 1/100 of a metre and mark three given distances on it.

Solve 10 plane problems where the surface is inclined to one reference plane and perpendicular or inclined to the other.

Determine traces of 6 planes (horizontal, vertical, oblique) from given data and check them by projection.

Construct a plain scale and a comparative scale converting kilometres to miles, marking given readings.

Draw the three principal views of 5 plane laminae held at stated inclinations, keeping projection lines aligned.

Time yourself on 5 mixed construction problems and finish each within 12 minutes.

Draw the three views of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones in simple positions, 8 solids in total.

Apply change-of-position and auxiliary-plane methods to 6 solids tilted to the horizontal plane.

Dimension every drawing in week 3 with aligned dimensions, arrowheads, leaders and correct gap from object lines.

Letter all titles and notes in single-stroke inclined capitals at 7 mm and 3.5 mm heights with consistent spacing.

Classify and draw 5 line types (visible, hidden, centre, cutting-plane, break) at correct thickness ratios.

Draw the true shape of section for 6 solids cut by inclined planes, using auxiliary views.

Produce 4 complete sectional drawings (front view in section, top view) of a hexagonal prism, cone, cylinder and square pyramid.

Locate the section plane position that yields a given true shape for 3 reverse-engineering problems.

Check every section drawing for correct hatching angle, spacing and omission over sectioned holes.

Develop the lateral surface of 4 right solids (prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone) by the parallel-line and radial-line methods.

Develop 2 truncated solids and mark the shortest path between two points on the surface.

Draw isometric views of 6 objects from given orthographic views, using the isometric scale correctly.

Construct an isometric view of a cylinder and a hexagonal prism, drawing the elliptical end curves by ordinates or four-centre method.

Produce 2 oblique cavalier and cabinet projections of simple blocks at stated angles.

Determine the line of intersection of 3 pairs of solids (cylinder-cylinder, cylinder-prism, cone-cylinder) by the generator and cutting-plane methods.

Draw conventional representations of 6 thread forms (V, square, Acme, buttress, BSW, metric) with proportions.

Draw a hexagonal bolt, nut and washer assembly to standard proportions, plus a stud and a cap screw.

Draw 3 types of keys (sunk, saddle, Woodruff) and 2 types of couplings in half-section.

Draw a journal bearing in half-section with hatching, clearances and a parts list.

Draw 3 types of riveted joints and 2 welded joints with standard symbols and proportions.

Draw a knuckle joint and a cotter joint in half-section, labelling all standard dimensions.

Produce a single-storey building plan at 1:50 with walls, openings, door and window symbols, and room labels.

Draw the elevation and section of the same building, keeping vertical alignment with the plan.

Prepare a site plan at 1:200 and a foundation detail showing masonry footing courses.

Re-solve 10 previously missed problems drawn from all nine domains and log the corrected method for each.

Complete 2 full-length timed papers under exam conditions, allocating time per question by marks.

Audit your instrument kit and drawing routine: pencil grades, sharpening, board cleaning, sheet fixing.

Revise standard proportions and conventions from a one-page summary you write yourself.

Review the error log and list the five error patterns you must check before submitting any sheet.
