Christian's Survey of Engineering Graphics Blog
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
This was the final project for my survey of engineering graphics class. To make this drawing I had to draw an exploded isometric view of a clamp using polylines, lines and isocircles. I also had to make an assembly section of the clamp and a parts list with the part number, the quantity of the part, what the part is, and the material it is made of.
During the course of this class I learned how to dimension in Auto-CAD, which is a computer tool to make drawings of objects, what cavalier and cabinet drawings are and the difference between them, how to make one and two point perspective drawings, how to make auxiliary views, how to use a table to dimension objects, and make isometric drawings using Auto-CAD. I also learned how to make a sphere in a isometric Auto-CAD drawing using two isocircles and a polyline.
I had trouble making the perspective drawings before I saw how to get the correct distance from the vanishing point, I also had trouble visualizing how to draw a development and how it fit together when folded. When making threads I had trouble getting the minor diameter before I looked in the back of the book and found a chart for them.

To draw this I had to use a caliper to determine the measurements of each section of the object. After I made the top view of the object I created the sectional view to make things clearer. I then dimensioned both the top and sectional view of the object but forgot to put the hatch lines that tell you where the object was cut for the sectional view.

DRAWIG 10-47 BRASS ANCHOR PLATE
BRASS ANCHOR PLATE |
This is my Brass Anchor Plate Drawing which was one of my first in AutoCAD.
To make this I first had to create a B-sized layout. I then had to actually draw out the Anchor Plate in AutoCAD. I then used the MTEXT command to add the number and letter pairs to the drawing. After that I scaled it correctly in the view-port. I then re-sized the view-port while making sure that the part stayed the correct size. After I re-sized the view-port I inserted the table, picked my 0,0 point, and started dimensioning the part inside the table; for reference i dimensioned the entire length and width of the part. For the parts that had the same dimensions and were right next to each other in the table I combined the cells and entered the number only once. After I finished the Table I edited the information on the part and checked what it would loo like when it printed. After I was satisfied that it was correct I printed the drawing out.
