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

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

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
