Test 2 Flashcards
Layout Drawings
A pure geometric representation of an entire assembly prepared in initial design stages to resolve spatial issues and tradeoffs without full attention of dimensioning or presentation
For effective communication, drawings must be…
Clear: easy to understand and interpret (not ambiguous) Complete: no missing info, particularly dimensions Accurate: free of errors
Detail Drawings
Supplies complete detail for making a single part including its shape and size descriptions, material call-out and specifications of tolerance and surface finish
Assembly Drawings
Depicts assemblies of fully detailed component parts, arranged as they appear in the final assembly
Title Block
Contains identifying information such as a part number, it’s revision and title or description, the name of the company, scale if any, and default values for tolerance and surface finish
Lines which define basic geometry form are…
Visible lines Hidden lines Center lines
Lines associated with dimensions are…
Extension lines Dimension lines
Pointing and advisory lines include
Leader lines Break lines Cutting plane and Section lines
Projections
Graphical representatives used to describe 3D objects onto 2D paper
Types of Projections
Pictorial: isometric, oblique, and perspective useful for general illustrations Orthographic: used exclusively for technical drawings
Orthographic Projections
In ortho projections images of an object are projected on planes as they appear to the eye when viewed from 3 orthogonal directions FRONT TOP SIDE
Orthographic Projection: 1st Angle
Used in Europe and some Pacific rim countries The object is between the observer and protection plane
Orthographic Projection: 3rd Angle
Used in the US, Canada, and Japan The protection plane is between the observer and object
Sectional Views
Sections show interior details that are too complex to represent with hidden lines
Concentric Cylindrical Features
Best shown in a longitudinal (side) view
One-view Drawings
Use symbol ø (metric) outer the abbreviation DIA (inches)
Circular Arc
Dimensions via its radius
Cylindrical Holes
Dimension with a leader pointing to the hole and the diameter is preceded by ø or followed with DIA
Circular Tapers
Use a suitable combination
Flat Tapers
Dimensioned in a fashion similar to circular tapers
Chamfers
Dimensioned via length and angle
Undercuts
Dimensioned with a note specifying width followed by diameter
Dimensioning System
The choice of dimensioning systems depends on whether the drawing is intended for BATCH (general purpose tools and gages) or MASS PRODUCTION (specialized tools/gages)
Coordinate Dimensioning System
Defines distance, location, and size by means of linear dimension measured from reference axes or datum plane
True Position Dimension
Features defined in terms of their most likely or mean position
Polar Coordinate System
Defines position by means of a radius and an angle
Chain and Datum Dimension
Dimensioning of feature sequentially in a chain-like manner or from a common reference (datum) point or line
Negatives to Coordinate Dimensioning
- Only implies and does not precisely define how dimensions are to be measured for checking
- When no datum is specified, coordinate dimensions apple on point-to-point basis (Fig. 40)
- When datum feature is given (Fig. 41) measurement is made from the theoretical datum, not from the actual feature itself
- Coordinate Dimensioning does not specify straightness, meaning the part could be within the thickness size tolerance but could be significantly bowed and unacceptable
