You will have a good foundation as to why mechanical design is used, learn about drafting standards organizations, and know the difference between pictorial views and orthographic views.
Understand why two dimensional drawings planes (Paper) are used to represent 3D objects on Technical Drawings.
Learn how drafting standards like ANSI and ISO enable universal mechanical drawings, with line conventions, isometric and multi-view projections, and the importance of standardization for clear communication and compliance.
To understand the construction of Multi-views; thus, representing fully the size, and shape of an object using one or more views.
Understanding the glass box theory, and how it is used to describe the arrangement of the multi-views on a drawing with respect to their relationship to each another.
Understanding why view alignment is so important on a drawing.
Discover turning a 3-D pictorial concept into a working 2-D drawing in AutoCAD, and master the interface, templates, object snap, dynamic input, and tools like line and circle.
Draw a 5x5 square, delete a square, and construct front and top views using ortho, object snaps, and dynamic input; apply offset, trim, and orthographic projection.
Start with the front view as the most descriptive origin, then project the top and side views from it to accurately describe the six primary views while keeping drawings efficient.
Recognize Line types on a mechanical drawing
Create Line types using CAD software
Learning to use lines types in a drawing
Explore line conventions part 4 by verifying a completed CAD drawing against its 3-D model through front, side, top views, and a pictorial view, highlighting hidden lines, notches, and slots.
Utilize construction lines and center lines to locate and depict a hole, using offsets and projection between views, then convert construction lines to center lines.
Apply linear dimensions and dimension lines in a 2d drawing using autocad to communicate overall length, hole diameters, radii, and other details, following drawing conventions and standards.
Congratulations on completing this course, the first step into graphics at the start of mechanical design. Stay tuned for more courses to help you excel in this field.
I designed this course to help you learn to use engineering graphics as a tool for mechanical design, by sketching, reading and visualizing objects to 2D views for manufacturing. This course will teach you the basics for getting started in the engineering design field, and will be a great foundation for learning 3D modeling design in more advanced courses. Also, you will learn why 2D design is still very important and useful in the manufacturing industry. I also designed this course to be easily understood in a very practical way.
Learn These Design Drafting Applications and Apply Them on Drawings
· Orthographic Views
· Sketching
· The Meaning of Different Line Types and How to Use Them
· Knowing Drafting Symbols and How They are Used
· Applying Drawing Dimensions and Proper Notation
In an ever-changing industry with new breakthroughs in technology, there will always be a demand for qualified people that can communicate ideas through the use of graphics that are very technical and exact. Also, these people can make use of this type of communication in the form of prints and working drawings. This beginning course will help you with the skills you will need to begin to compete in today’s industrial workplace. The course will utilize PowerPoint presentations, audio lectures, and screen shots to demonstrate the drafting concepts.
