Questions and Answers

Which type of view shows only features that need clarification?

  • Local view (correct)
  • Aligned view
  • Principal view
  • Half view

    • A half view includes the entire object without any breaks.

    False

    What is the purpose of using a principal view?

    To better describe an object and facilitate dimensioning.

    An __________________ is created by rotating the object's features about a symmetry axis.

    Study Notes

    Chapter 5: Convention Practice in Orthographic Writing

    • Orthographic writing conventions are commonly accepted practices that sometimes disregard strict rules of orthographic projection.
    • These conventions improve drawing clarity, ease dimensioning, reduce drafting effort, and save or efficiently use drawing space.

    Topics

    • Definition

      • Conventions are commonly accepted practices that sometimes ignore certain orthographic projection rules, with the aim of creating more readable and practical technical drawings.

    • Purposes

      • Improve drawing clarity.
      • Facilitate dimensioning.
      • Reduce drafting effort.
      • Save or efficiently use drawing space.

    • Types of Conventions

      • Alternate position of side view

        • Used when an object's height is smaller compared to its depth, placing the side view next to the top view to save space and enhance clarity.

      • Incomplete view

        • Eliminates features not clearly visible from a chosen viewpoint, simplifying the representation.
        • Includes sub-types such as incomplete side view, partial view, half view and local view.

      • Aligned view

        • Features are rotated in a principle view and shown aligned along a symmetry axis or centre line.
        • Used to make drawing of symmetrical features more efficient.

      • Enlarged view

        • A selective view from a full view drawing with a larger scale.
        • In full view, the selected portion has a label and a border using continuous thin lining.
        • Enlarged view requires the specified name and scale.

      • Non-existing intersection line

        • Avoids potentially confusing representations of intersections occurring due to fillets and rounds, by showing projected lines as if fillets or rounding were not present.

      • Cylinder intersection

        • Illustrates how conventions are used to represent intersections involving cylinders.

    Examples

    • An example shows using a dash line to represent hidden edges.
    • Examples of alternate positioning of views are given to illustrate how the top and side views are oriented.
    • Examples show incomplete views
    • Examples of partial views, half views and local views are showcased.
    • Examples illustrate the application of aligned views of holes and ribs.
    • Enlarging and showing the application of enlarged views.
    • Examples demonstrate how non-existing intersection lines are used when fillets and rounds are present.
    • Examples of intersections between a fillet and a round are shown.
    • Examples of intersections between a round and a plane surface are presented.
    • Examples illustrate the difference in drawing a large hole versus a small hole in a cylinder.
