Introduction
Prepare complete, industry-standard engineering drawings
()
1. Overview of Mechanical Drawings
Prioritize clarity when preparing drawings
()
Reference standards to clarify drawing interpretation
()
Prepare a complete and succinct sheet template
()
Select the correct drawing type for your part
()
2. Choosing and Placing Views
Represent a 3D part in 2D using orthographic views
()
Depict internal features with section views
()
Enhance smaller features by depicting them in detail views
()
Leverage 3D CAD to create pictorial views
()
Use the correct line conventions to clarify geometry
()
Challenge: Choose and place views
()
Solution: Choose and place views
()
3. Dimensioning
Follow the rules of dimensioning to prevent ambiguity
()
Use the right style when placing dimensions
()
Dimensioning tips: Angles, chamfers, arcs, and fillets
()
Dimensioning tips: Holes and slots
()
Dimensioning tips: Shafts, grooves, keyways, and threads
()
Dimensioning tips: Symmetric and repeated features
()
Dimensioning tips: Bent components
()
Write clear notes for a complete product definition
()
Challenge: Place dimensions for a sample part
()
Solution: Place dimensions for a sample part
()
4. Tolerancing
Limit a part's geometric variation with tolerances
()
Take the guesswork out of setting tolerances
()
Use GD&T to specify the functional requirements of parts
()
