Auxiliary Views
Auxiliary views are orthographic views used to present true-shape views of slanted surfaces. Figure 4-51 shows an object with a slanted surface that includes a hole drilled perpendicular to the slanted surface. Note how the right-side view shows the hole as an ellipse and that the surface A-B-C-D is foreshortened; that is, it is not shown at its true size. Surface A-B-C-D does appear at its true shape and size in the auxiliary view. The auxiliary view was projected at 90° from the slanted surface so as to generate a true-shape view.
