UNIT | - BASICS OF DESIGNS Understanding of Projections, Scales, units, GD & T; its 14 symbols, Special characteristics & Title Block readings. Revision / ECN status of drawings Customer Specific requirements Drawing Grid reading Course Outcomes * At the end of the course the students would be able to * Discuss the basics of the design and concepts. * Develop the two dimensional drafting and projection views. * Discuss the three dimensional modeling, parametric and Non- parametric modeling * Discuss the assembly modeling and top down, bottom up approaches. * Develop the computer aided machining and wirting part programming. An engineering drawing * An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Usually, a number of drawings are necessary to completely specify even a simple component. Types * part drawing and * assembly drawing Sample drawing Projections Methods in CAD Drafting * Drafting is also spelled as draughting, is popularly known as an engineering drawing. Drafting is the process of representing an object or idea through lines having various thicknesses and make ups. Classification of Drafting: * Based on the usage of drafting + Furniture drafting * Architectural drafting * Mechanical or machine drafting * Electrical and electronics drafting * Structural drafting and sheet-metal drafting, etc., * Based on the function of drafting * Manual drafting * Computer-Aided Drafting or Designing (CAD) Advantages of Manual Drafting: * Low Cost of Drafting Equipment: Manual drafting is created by using drafting equipment like a Pencil, Scale, Mini-Drafter, Compass, etc. The cost of drafting equipment is less compared to CAD Software Packages. * No Cutting End Technology Required: Unlike CAD Systems, you don’t need to maintain the systems with expensive maintenance services. Maintaining the Pencil and Paper is easy to do. * No Need for Subscriptions: In the manual drafting we are not going to use CAD software. If we use CAD software, we need a subscription for the same. It will improve the cost involved in the process. * No training required: Apart from the training which we get while studying, there is no need for the designers to teach the CAD packages being used. Advantages of CAD drafting: * Quality of Design: The CAD software has different tools to create drawings accurately a er the requirement. The quality of the CAD is better compared to Manual rafting. * Easy for Documentation: For manual drafting, we have to maintain a lot of documents. Handling and maintaining the document is a very difficult process in manual drafting. But, in CAD drafting, saving and sharing the documents is very easy. Documents can be saved in the local storage or in the cloud storage. * Modify and Reproduce Faster: Modifying the existing drawing and reproducing the drawing is very easy in CAD drafting. It is very complicated in the Manual drafting process. * Ability to Create a Drawing from 3D Models: In CAD drafting you can directly import any. 3b CAD model you can create different views like Front, Side & Top, etc. in CAD rafting. + Following the Standards: Different standards are available in CAD drafting. Based on the standard which you are selecting the views and annotations are automatically added. But, In Manual drafting, you have to know about all the standards. Only then you can create proper drafting. Use of Projections in Drafting: * Projection is used to represent the Complex 3D object in the 2D drawing sheet. * Projection is used to show the Shape and Size of the object in the Drawing or Drafting sheet. Definition of Projections: * As an object, it has three dimensions length, width and height. The shapes and size of the object to be represented on a sheet, which has only a two-dimensional plane. Fig 3 : Orthographic projection Fig 2: Parallel projection 209.2003 UNIT - BASICS OF DESIGNS B Principle plane of Projection Object and Plane Position Fig 4 : Principle plane of projection Fig 5 : First angle projection Principle plane of Projection Object and Plane Position Fig 7: Third angle projection scale * Ascale is defined as the ratio of the linear dimensions of the object as represented in a drawing to the actual dimensions of the same. Necessity ¢ Drawings drawn with the same size as the objects are called full sized drawing. * It is not convenient, always, to draw drawings of the object to its actual size. eg. Buildings, Heavy machines, Bridges, Watches, Electronic devices etc. + Hence scales are used to prepare drawing at + Full size + Reduced size + Enlarged size«o: os BIS Recommended Scales Reducing scales 1:Y (Y>1) Enlarging scales X:1 (X>1) Full size scales Intermediate scales can be used in exceptional cases where recommended scales can not be applied for functional reasons. 4 Representative fraction (R.F.)

Below the scale, print DE ETERS on the right hand side, CENTIMERTERS on the left hand side, and R.F. in the middle. Diagonal Scle * Diagonal scales are used either to measure very minute distance such as 0.1mm or to measure three units such as dm , cm and mm Diagonal scale. ncept At end B of line AB, draw a perpendicular.

PQ = 4.56 meters Vernier scale.... Concept Length AO represents 10 cm and is divided in to 10 equal parts each representing 1 cm. BO = 11 (i.e. 10+1) such equal parts = 11 cm. Divide BO into 10 equal divisions. Each division of BO will be equal to 11/10 = 1.1 cm or 11 mm. Difference between 1 part of A and one part of BO = 1.1 cm -1.0 cm = 0.1cm or 1 mm. s 6 CENTIMETERS a 20 Question: Draw a Vernier scale of R.F. 1/25 to read up to 4 meters.

(0.99 + 1.4 + To measure 0.91 place the divider at C and D (0.8 +0.11 = 0.91). Drawing units * When drawing using a CAD software we always draw "real" size (i.e. the scale is 1:1 in the computer space). For example if we draw a box with size 20x20x20 cm we will use 20 drawing units for drawing the sides. * Independently of the scale that we will use to print the drawing we will not scale when we draw on the CAD software. This is a major benefit of CAD software! Nobody wants to hold a calculator the whole time and scale while drawing! Drawing in one thing, scaling for printing is a totally different thing. Drawing units + We set the scale only at the printing layout which is prepare at a later stage when the drawing is completed and we are ready for printing. In all CAD software, the printing layouts are always a distinct part of the software that helps us fit the drawing to the paper. In all CAD software, drawing is one thing and printing is another thing. + Before we start drawing we decide in our mind what will be the value of a unit length in the drawing. One drawing unit can be equal to one meter, one mm, one cm, one kilometer (km). Drawing units + lt is up to us to decide what the units will be depending on the size actual size of our structure or object. For example, if we draw a coin with a diameter of 20 mm it is convenient to use im (millimeters). Thus we will draw the coin using a circle with a diameter of 20 units. In this case, one drawing unit represents 1mm. «If we draw the structural drawings for a concrete house it is much more convenient to use meters (m). In that case one drawing unit represents 1m. Then a square house with layout of 20x20 meter will be drawn using a square with side-length of 20 drawing units. 27.09.2023 + Total Run out UNIT - BASICS OF DESIGNS Pa iN —To030 Straightness AA + In this feature, all elements are proposed to be in the straight line * Straightness error is the distance between two parallel lines which include all elements of a line + Straightness control is a geometric tolerance that when directed to a surface that limit the amount of straightness error * Straightness control requires no datum reference and mo (MMC,LMC, P, T) + It controls each line independently and separately * If tolerance zone for straightness is applied to a FOS is a cylinder, diameter modifier is used * If modifier is given in the frame, then the condition is used to describe the axis of FOS ers Flatness [| * In this feature, all elements are supposed to be in one plane * Flatness error is the distance between two parallel planes which include all elements of a surface (High and low points) * Flatness control is a geometric tolerance that limits the amount of flatness error * Flatness feature requires no datum and no modifiers.

Here are some commonly used special characteristics in CAD design: Fillets and Chamfers: These features are used to round or bevel the edges or corners of a part, reducing stress concentration and improving aesthetics. Draft: Draft is a taper applied to vertical walls of a part to aid in its easy release from a mold during manufacturing. Threads: CAD allows the inclusion of threads, both internal and external, which are essential for fasteners and threaded connections. Ribs and Bosses: Ribs are thin, structural elements added to strengthen a part, while bosses are protruding features used for mounting or fastening purposes. Special characteristics + Holes and Cutouts: CAD designs can include accurately placed holes, slots, or cutouts for various purposes such as assembly, ventilation, or access points. + Embossing and Engraving: These features involve adding raised or recessed text, logos, or patterns to a part's surface for branding or aesthetic purposes. + Patterns and Symmetry: CAD allows for the creation of patterned features or symmetric elements, which can improve efficiency, aesthetics, or functionality. + Snap Fits and Interlocking Features: These features enable parts to be assembled or connected without the need for additional fasteners or adhesives Special characteristics Tolerance and Clearance: CAD design includes specifying tolerance levels and clearances to ensure proper fit, function, and assembly of parts. Assembly Constraints: CAD software provides tools to define constraints, such as mates, hinges, or sliders, to simulate how parts will move or interact within an assembly. Surfacing: Advanced CAD tools allow for complex surfacing, enabling the creation of organic shapes, curved surfaces, and complex geometries. Parametric Design: CAD software supports parametric modeling, allowing designers to create and modify parts using parameters and relationships, which enables easy iteration and design variations. Engineering Change Notice *In engineering, the revision or ECN (Engineering Change Notice) status of engineering drawings refers to the version or iteration of the drawing and any associated changes that have been made. It helps track and communicate the history of modifications and ensures that the latest version of the drawing is being referenced and used. * The revision status is typically indicated by a revision letter or number, such as Revision A, Revision 1, or Revision 2. Each revision signifies a significant change or update made to the drawing. When a revision occurs, it is important to document the specific changes made, the reason for the change, and the date of the revision. *ECN, on the other hand, refers to the process or document that captures and communicates engineering changes made to a drawing. An ECN typically includes details about the proposed change, its impact on the design, and any necessary approvals or reviews. It may also include a description of the change, the affected drawing number, the reason for the change, and any associated documents or references. +The status of an engineering drawing may be indicated directly on the drawing itself or in a separate document, such as the title block or revision block. The revision status can be denoted by placing the revision letter or number next to the drawing number, typically in a smaller font size or within brackets. Additionally, the revision history or ECN log may be maintained separately, tracking the changes made to the drawing over time. + By indicating the revision or ECN status, engineers, designers, and other stakeholders can easily identify the most up-to-date version of a drawing, ensuring that they are working with accurate and current information. It also aids in maintaining a record of changes for future reference and traceability Revision / ECN status of drawings + An engineering change order (ECO) or an engineering change notice (ECN) is a document thaf begins the process for making adaptations or corrections during a product's lifecycle’ It plays a critical role in engineering and product development. ENGINEERING CHANGE NOTICE An me change notice (ECN) is an official notice that a change has been approved. Many companies use a formal ECN to help ensure their contract manufacturers and other manufacturing partners are building products correctly. + They say the only thing constant is change — and the manufacturing process is no exception. Although equipment, standards, and procedures take a good deal of pan to establish, they are not set in stone. Machines and electrical components evolve as they move towards newer models, while standards and procedures are improving all the time 27.092023 UNIT - BASICS OF DESIGNS ss ven 661734 ENGINEERING CHANGE NOTICE = : Page tot 2.

Grids are often used in technical drawings to provide a visual reference for accurately locating and measuring various elements within the drawing. 27.092023 UNIT - BASICS OF DESIGNS 6 Grid reading *The grid system consists of evenly spaced horizontal and vertical lines that intersect to form a series of squares or rectangles. Each square or rectangle in the grid is assigned a specific size or measurement, known as the grid interval. The grid interval is typically chosen based on the level of detail required for the drawing. 27.092023 UNIT - BASICS OF DESIGNS % Grid Reference *Each intersection point of the grid lines has a unique reference or coordinate. The references are usually labeled using letters for vertical lines and numbers for horizontal lines. For example, the bottom-left intersection may be labeled as Ai, the top-right intersection as D4, and so on. These references help identify specific locations on the drawing. 27.092023 UNIT - BASICS OF DESIGNS o Positioning and Alignment *The grid lines serve as guides for accurately placing and aligning elements within the drawing. By referencing the grid, you can ensure that various components or dimensions are correctly positioned relative to each other. 27.092023 UNIT - Basics OF OESIGNS « Measuring Dimensions *The grid system allows for precise measurement of distances between elements or features in the drawing. By counting the grid intervals between two points, you can determine the distance or dimension accurately. 27.09.2023 UNIT - BASICS OF DESIGNS ° Scaling ¢The grid system can also be used to establish a scale for the drawing. By defining the grid interval as a specific measurement, such as one centimeter or one inch, the drawing can be scaled accordingly. This helps in converting the drawing into real-world dimensions. 27-092023 UNIT - BASICS OF DESIGNS ” UNIT - 94515 OF DESIGNS
