LESSON 9

USING DRAWINGS
UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS LESSON,
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Create several types of drawing views.

• Modify drawing views by alignment and tangent edges.
• Add annotations to a drawing.
MORE ABOUT MAKING DRAWINGS

• These topics included in this lesson are:

• Model Views;
• Section Views;
• Detail Views and;
• Several Annotation types.
• Inaddition, multiple drawing sheets will be used to detail both the
forged and machined configurations of the part.
STAGES IN THE PROCESS
THE STEPS IN PLANNING AND EXECUTING THE CREATION OF THIS
DRAWING ARE LISTED BELOW.

• Views
• Introductions to many commonly used drawing views including:
section, broken, model, and projected views.
• Annotations
• Use annotations to add notes and symbols to the drawing.
• Simulations
• Simulate the design in terms of Stress and Thermal Analysis
PROCEDURES
STEP 1: NEW PART AND OPEN
DRAWING

• Open the drawing named Ratchet

Body. It is an A (ANSI) Portrait sheet
with one drawing view. The other
sheet settings are:
• Type of projection = Third angle
• Scale=1:2.5
SECTION VIEW
• The Section View tool is used to create a new drawing view that is
defined by cutting an existing view with a section line. The new
view is automatically aligned to the parent view.
• Where to find it?
STEP 2: SKETCH SECTION VIEW

• Click Section View and sketch the

horizontal line as shown.
• Flip direction = selected
• Import annotations = cleared
• Display style = Click Use parent style
• Scale = Click Use sheet scale
STEP 3: PLACE VIEW.

• Click below the view to place the

section view.
VIEW ALIGNMENT

• Alignment is used to keep related drawing views aligned to one

another by limiting movement. When you drag a view, dashed lines
appear to show any existing alignment conditions. Alignment can
be added or removed from any view.
• Break alignment
• The automatic alignment between a source drawing view and a section, or
projected view can be broken to move the view freely.
STEP 4: BREAK ALIGNMENT

• Right-click
the section view
and select Alignment, Break
Alignment. The view is now
free to move.
STEP 5: SIMILAR SECTION

• Create another section view with

similar settings to the previous
one including the options Partial
section and Display only cut
face(s) selected.
• Afterplacing the section, break
the alignment as in the previous
step.
MODEL VIEWS

• The Model View creates a single view based on a predefined

view orientation: Top, Front, Isometric and so on. The View Palette
can also be used to create an orientation-based view.
STEP 6: MODEL VIEW
• ClickModel View and select the
Ratchet Body part.
• Click Next.
• Click *Right as the Orientation and
Hidden Lines Remove as the Display
Style. Click Use sheet scale.
• Place the view just above the title
block area and click OK. The view is
wider than the sheet format borders.
BROKEN VIEW
• Broken Views, sometimes called interrupted views, make it
possible to display a long part at a larger scale on a smaller size
drawing sheet. This is done by creating a gap or break in the view
using a pair of break lines.
• Where to find it?
STEP 7: BROKEN VIEW
• Select the view and click Break. Click Add vertical break line and set
the Gap size to30mm. Use the default Zig-Zag Cut. Click in the view
to create pairs or breaks. When the first pair is complete, the view
breaks. Create a second break on the handle. Click OK.
TANGENT EDGES

• Tangent Edges are topological edges of faces that match in

tangency. The most commonly seen tangent edges are the edges of
fillets. They are often made visible in pictorial views but are
removed from orthographic views.
• Where to find it?
• Right click the view and select Tangent Edge.
STEP 8: TANGENT EDGES REMOVED
• Right-click in the view and select Tangent Edge, Tangent Edges
Removed.
ALIGNING VIEWS

• Views can be aligned by origin or center. They can also be

returned to the default alignment.
STEP 9: ALIGNING VIEWS

• Right-click in SECTION B and choose Alignment, Align Horizontal by

Origin. Click in the broken view to complete the alignment.
STEP 10: COMPLETING ALIGNED SECTION

• Align SECTION A using the same procedure.

DETAIL VIEWS

• Detail Views can be created using a closed sketched shape in an

activated source view. The contents of the detail view are
determined by what is enclosed within the sketch.
STEP 11: DETAIL VIEW

• Click detail view and click Draft

quality for Cosmetic Thread Display.
• Sketch a circle in the view as shown.
Name the view HEAD and click Use
sheet scale and place the new view
as shown.
DRAWING SHEETS AND SHEETS FORMAT

• Drawing sheets, as mentioned earlier, represent the paper sheet. Contained

within the drawing sheet is the sheet format that holds the title block and text.
• The “paper sheets” are used to hold the views, dimensions and annotations
and create the drawing.
ADDING DRAWING SHEETS

• In this lesson, multiple drawing sheets with multiple views will be created.
• The new drawing sheet does not have to be the same size as the current
drawing sheet.

Where to find it?

• Click the Add Sheet tab
STEP 12: ADD NEW SHEET

• Click Add Sheet and add a

new drawing sheet located
below left. Right-click the new
sheet tab and choose Rename.
Rename the sheet to
MACHINED. Rename the
original sheet to FORGED.
PROJECTED VIEWS

• Projected Views are created by folding off an existing view in one

of eight possible projections.
• Where to find?
STEP 13: PROJECTED VIEW

• Click *Right orientation and a custom scale of 1:2. Move the cursor
above the model view and click to place a Projected View. The
projected view is the desired view.
STEP 14: DELETE VIEW

• Click the original model view (*Right) and press the Delete key.
STEP 15: DETAIL VIEW

• Add a detail view renaming it

HOLES as shown.
• Remove the tangent edges.
STEP 16: SECTION OF DETAIL
• Create a section through the center point
of an arc by “waking up” the center point
and sketching a line through it.
DATUM FEATURE SYMBOLS

• Datum Feature Symbols can be added to a drawing view on a

surface that appears as an edge (including silhouettes) to identify
datum planes in the part.
STEP 17: ADD DATUM

• Click Datum Feature and click

the line in SECTION E as
shown. Move to the left and
below to click and place the
datum. Repeat the procedure
for the arc in DETAIL HOLES.
SURFACE FINISH SYMBOL

• You can specify the surface texture of a part face by using a

Surface Symbols Finish Symbol.
STEP 18: ADDING DIMENSIONS

• Use the Smart Dimension tool to add

the dimensions as shown.
 STEP 19: CHANGING THE DIAMETER

• Click Smart Dimension. Click

the Leaders tab of the
Dimension Property
Manager and click
Diameter. Repeat for the
remaining radial dimension.
 STEP 20: ADDING TOLERANCE

• Click the dimension shown and set the

Tolerance/Precision values:
• Tolerance Type = Limit
• Maximum Variation = 0.1
• Minimum Variation = 0.2
• Primary unit precision = .1
STEP 21: ADD CENTERLINES

• Click Centerline and select the two cylindrical faces as shown. Also
add the 20mm dimension.
STEP 22: SWITCH SHEETS

• Move the cursor over the

FORGED sheet to see a
preview. Click the FORGED
sheet to open it.
