Study Notes
Chapter 5: Convention Practice in Orthographic Writing
- Orthographic writing conventions are commonly accepted practices that sometimes disregard strict orthographic projection rules.
- These conventions improve drawing clarity, facilitate dimensioning, reduce drafting effort, and optimize drawing space usage.
Topics
- Definition: Conventions are commonly accepted practices that deviate from strict orthographic projection rules to improve drawing clarity. They disregard some projection rules in creating a more readily understandable representation.
-
Purposes:
- Improve clarity of the drawing.
- Facilitate the dimensioning process.
- Reduce drafting effort.
- Save or more efficiently use drawing space.
-
Types of Conventions:
- Alternate position of side view
- Incomplete view (including incomplete side view, partial view, half view, local view)
- Aligned view
- Enlarged view
- Non-existing intersection line
- Cylinder intersection (hole in cylinder)
Alternate Position of Side View
- Purpose: Conserve drawing space and improve clarity, especially when the object's height is short and depth is long.
- Conventional Practice: When height is small, and depth is large; placing side view adjacent to the top view.
- Example: A diagram showing a top view and a side view positioned next to the top view for optimal readability and space-saving.
Incomplete View
- Definition: Side view eliminating features not clearly shown in the chosen viewing direction.
- Examples: Incomplete side view, partial view, half view, local view.
Definition of Incomplete Side Views
- Incomplete side views are side views where a characteristic feature is omitted because it cannot be clearly seen from the chosen viewing angle.
Aligned View
- Definition (and Practice): Imaginary rotation of object features; appearing in principle view around a symmetry axis. Use aligned views when the object features are symmetrical to greatly simplify and reduce drawing space
- Examples: Diagrams showcasing how aligned views present symmetrical objects in a different way to simplify the drawing.
Enlarged View
- Definition: A sectional view enlarging part of the full view at a larger scale.
- Conventional Practice: Full-view framed by continuous thin lines. The enlarged view must contain both name and specified scale.
- Example: A diagram illustrating a full view and a proportionally enlarged section, labeled and dimensioned accordingly.
Non-Existing Intersection Line
- Definition: Intersection lines that are not physically present due to the object having fillets or rounds; instead, the missing lines are projected from the actual intersection lines on the surfaces.
- Conventional Practice: When true projection misleads the object's representation, additional lines are added to show where an intersection would be if the fillets or rounds did not exist.
- Example: A diagram of an object with a round and fillet; showing how the conventional non-existing intersection line is constructed.
Intersection Between Fillet and Round
- Definition: Intersection area between an object's round and fillet features.
- Practical Application: Methods of showing how these curves intersect and the appropriate line techniques. Runout is also included as part of this topic. This has multiple scenarios.
- Runout: The portion of the curve that extends beyond the visible fillet or round.
- Example: Illustrations demonstrating how to represent the runout and the intersection.
