Which is not a valid plot area property?

full

section types

full section, half section, offset section, aligned section, rib and wed section, broken out section, removed section, revolved section

statement of work

identifies the problem and lays out specifications and how you'll solve the problem

center lines

important for interpreting cylindrical shapes, they have x, y, z components. symmetry. should not extend through the space between views

hidden lines

indicate edges, surfaces, and corners of an object that are concealed from the view of the observer, evenly spaced dashes, 3/4 thickness of visible lines. maybe omitted where not needed

extension line

indicate the termination of a dimension

3 main types of axonometric projection

isometric, dimetric, and trimetric

Grip mode

it allows you to edit the size, position, and rotation of a selected object

what does not benefit of using layouts

layouts constraints

1st angle

left side view

constraint

limitation or restriction

planar projection

mapping of 3D object onto 2D plane

bilateral tolerancing

may vary in either direction from the basic size and the variance of both directions don't have to be equal

actual size

measured size of a finished part

User coordinate system (UCS)

modifications made to the World Coordinate System (WCS) results in User Coordinate System (UCS)

orthographic projections

most common projection technique; object is projected onto plane using parallel lines

construction lines

not a part of the finished drawing

border lines

not a part of the finished drawing, typically 1.5-2.0 times the thickness of visible lines, used only as frame of drawings

dimension

numerical value used to define the size, location, geometric characteristic, or surface texture of a part/feature

glass box theory

object is surrounded by glass box and each face is projected onto the respective side of the box, then box is unfolded to show each side of the object

ByBlock

objects are created using the continuous lenitive until the line objects are combined into a block definition

Explicitly set

objects are created with that linetype regardless of the current layer

ByLayer

objects are created with the linetype that is assigned to the current layer

general oblique

oblique projection angle between 45 and 63.43 degrees

cavalier oblique

oblique projection angle is 45 degrees

cabinet oblique

oblique projection angle is ~63.43 degrees

line fit

one of the limits on both the internal and external members are equal (e.g., hole and shaft may have the same size)

design center

organize drawings, hatches and other drawing content

oblique projection angle

out of plane angle; determines type of oblique projection

unilateral tolerancing

permitted to vary in only one direction from the basic size https://o.quizlet.com/vYIIA.MkkeWWj7wPd8zYKA_m.jpg

window

plots any portion of a drawing that you specify

extents

plots everything

plot extents

plots everything in the drawing space

plot window

plots everything inside a window you create

plot display

plots everything that is presently seen in the drawing space

layout

plots everything within paper boundaries

display

plots what is currently displayed on screen

PEB

principal enclosing box; contains the object and its dimensions are the max height, width, and depth

primary auxiliary view

projected onto a plane perpendicular to one of the principal planes and inclined to the other two https://o.quizlet.com/AggzJxwRJ1Ozsvjuo5otFQ_m.jpg

parallel projection

projectors are parallel to one another; typically used when dimensions need to be preserved

perspective projection

projectors converge to a vanishing point https://o.quizlet.com/1Om02ASj0cNxwebUE4I7nQ_m.png

autodesk seek

provides content from the web page including blocks, symbol libraries, manufacturers content online catalogs

final product design

provides the customer with a complete package of

dimensioning arcs, fillets, and rounds

radius

transition fit

ranges between pure clearance fit and pure interference fit

Why keep records of engineering design activities?

reference for info, proves originality, liability

3rd angle

right side view

autodesk seek

search and reuse shared digital design content

section (hatch) lines

show the parts that have been cut away

phantom line

shows alternate positions, repeated details, and paths of motion

pictorial sketch

shows an objects height, width, and depth in a single view (conveys 3D shape)

assembly drawing

shows how the different components fit together to form a product

partial auxiliary view

shows only the inclined surface

assembled drawing

shows the product in its functional state

oblique sketches

shows the true size/shape of one face, but depicts to other receding faces to complete the pictorial view

grips

small blue boxes that appear at strategic points on a selected object allowing you to edit the object directly

When rotating an object in the object rotates around

the base point

World Coordinate System (WCS)

the common X-Y coordinate system that is the default; if it is modified, it becomes a User coordinate System (UCS)

fit

the degree of tightness or looseness between two mating parts

clearance fit

the internal member (e.g., shaft) is always smaller than the external member (e.g., hole)

interference fit

the internal member is always larger than the external member; fastens two parts together without using adhesive or mechanical fasteners

the theoretical size from which a tolerance is assigned

associative

this hatch or fill is updated when you modify its boundary objects

allowance
