Here are the key line types used in engineering drawings:
1. Visible lines represent edges or surfaces that can be seen.
2. Hidden lines indicate edges that are hidden from view.
3. Center lines mark centers of holes, circles, or axes of symmetry.
4. Dimension lines note the distance between two points.
5. Extension lines extend from the dimension point(s) to the feature.
6. Leaders point to features being dimensioned.
7. Cutting-plane lines indicate where a cross-section is taken.
8. Break lines show only part of an object is drawn for clarity.
