What type of orthographic drawings is used to show flat pieces

One view drawings

Dimensioning

Process used to describe the size of an object as well as the location of different features of a design

Assembly Drawings

Show how different parts fit together to create the entire object

Detail Drawings

Show the exact shape and size of an object

What do orthographic drawings describe

Specific ideas of an object

Why might a company have its own guidelines for drawings

Specific procedures, methods, and organization used by a companies engineer

What is the most unique part of a perspective drawing

The use of a vanishing point

Size dimension

Type of dimension that describes the length, width, and depth of an object

Location dimension

Type of dimension that shows the distance between two different features

Shape dimension

Type of dimension used to provide detailed information about the shape of features

Oblique drawing

Type of drawing that highlights one side of an object

Perspective drawing

Type of drawing that shows an object from a specific point of view

Isometric drawing

Type of drawing that used angles equal to each other and is always drawn with standard angles

Why are symbols used in engineering drawings

Used to represent different entities in a drawing they are typically used in schematic drawings

Schematic Drawings

Used to show how different parts are connected together to form a system

Why do engineers need to be able to visualize a solution

Visualizing leads to a smoother outcome and helps better understand what was wrong in the first place

In what situation do engineers use a three-view drawing

When you need to describe a rectangular object

True or False? Engineering drawings are the initial sketches of a design solution

False

Working drawing

A type of engineering drawing that shows the most complete drawing produced

Visualization

Ability to mentally see a representation of a product for which there is no physical object

What are the 5 primary line types

Construction line, object line, hidden line, center line, border line

Engineering drawing

Drawing created to communicate products that will be manufactured

What does it mean to have a drawing that is drawn at full scale

Everything on the paper is the actual size

What are two types of lines used by engineers when dimensioning an object

Extinction line, dimension line

Leader

Line with an arrow on the end pointing to the feature
