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?
