2.7c - Views Orientation and Layout

Overview of Views and Layout

When it comes to mechanical drawing and orthographic projections it is very important that the Orientation, Alignment, and Layout of the drawings are correct. Review the following videos and take notes to better understand the format of Orthographic Projections and Mechanical Drawings.

U2.7.3a - Orientation in Orthographic Drawings.mp4

Orientation in Orthographic Drawings

This video reviews the different views and how the object is rotated to create these views.

U2.7.3b - Third Angle Projection Vs First Angle Projection 3D animation Part 1.mp4

Third Angle Projection Vs First Angle Projection

This video explains the difference between "First Angle" and "Third Angle" projections

It is very important to note that we only draw Third Angle Projections in this class.

Now copy the following Engineering Template:

2.7 - Orthographic Projections (ENT)

In this activity you will create a total of 7 Orthographic Projections (Multiview Drawings). They will include:

Front Top and Right View drawings of the 5 Anaya Puzzle Cube Parts
Front Top Right Bottom Views of the Blue Lego
Front Top Right Bottom Views of the Red Lego

All Drawings should be properly oriented, placed, and aligned. Use one sheet of Ortho w/Iso in the corner for each.

The Drawings should use the following criteria:

All drawings should be done on Ortho w/Iso in the corner. One object per sheet.
Snap Cube Drawings should be 2 triangle sides per .75” block side.
Scale the Lego drawing 2mm per graph paper square
Show necessary views. (Anaya PD - Front Top Right, Legos - Front Top Right Bottom)
Show all Object Lines and Hidden Lines.
Do not include Object lines if there is a junction between snap cubes that fall on the same Plane.

Once you have completed the Drawings and posted them to your engineering notebook.
