    Study Notes

    Parallel Projections

    • Isometric projection: 1:1:1 ratio, 30° angles
    • Dimetric Projection: 1:1:1/2 ratio, 42° and 7° angles
    • Trimetric Projection: ratios are free, 30° to 45° angles

    Technical Drawings

    • Key components:

      • Store all relevant information for parts and assembly
      • Follow a set of rules and common practices (ISO Norms)
      • Must be clear and consistent

    • Main types of views:

      • Orthogonal Projections
      • Detail Views
      • Sections

    Line Types

    • Continuous wide lines: visible outlines, edges, and reference arrows
    • Continuous narrow lines: contour edges and hatching
    • Continuous narrow free-hand lines (zigzag): break lines, termination of partial or interrupted views
    • Dashed narrow lines: hidden outlines and edges
    • Long-dashed dotted narrow lines: centerlines and lines of symmetry
    • Long-dashed double dotted narrow lines: outlines of adjacent parts
    • Long-dashed dotted narrow lines, wide at ends and changes: indication of section planes

    Technical Drawing Process

    • Choose the principal view
    • Choose required views and cuts
    • Draw the views and cuts
    • Add dimensions
    • Verify

    First Angle Projection Method

    • Principal view is in the front upper quadrant

    Third Angle Projection Method

    • Principal view is in the front lower quadrant

    Selecting Views

    • Use the fewest views necessary
    • Avoid unnecessary repetitions

    Arranging Projections

    • Views are arranged according to first or third angle projection method

    Cuts and Sections

    • Show geometry "through" the part
    • Shown by a cutting plane with hatching at a 45° angle

    Tips for Sections

    • Provide insights into parts and assemblies
    • Must be drawn and annotated unambiguously
    • Almost always needed when there are holes in parts
    • Local sections can be used to avoid complex cuts

    Checklist for Verifying Technical Drawings

    • Is the principal view the most informative?
    • Are there sufficient views to define the geometry?
    • Are smaller details clearly visible?
    • Are the views positioned correctly?
    • Are proportions and scale correct?
    • Are you satisfied with the drawing?
