Conventional view placement
The three-view multi-view drawing is the standard used in engineering and technology, because many times the other three principal views are mirror images and do not add to the knowledge about the object.  Figure 15 shows the  standard views used in a three-view drawing i.e.,  the top, front and the right side views

Figure 15 showing the three standard views of a multi-view drawing.

The width dimensions are aligned between the front and top views, using vertical projection lines. The height dimensions are aligned between the front and the profile views, using horizontal projection lines.  Because of the relative positioning of the three views, the depth dimension cannot be aligned using projection lines. Instead, the depth dimension is measured in either the top or right side view.
