4.9 - Creating Models and Drawings from Drawings

Introduction

Mechanical Orthographic projection drawings, also known as engineering or technical drawings, are essential in various industries for communicating detailed information about mechanical components, products, or structures. These drawings provide a clear and accurate representation of objects in three dimensions, aiding in design, manufacturing, and documentation processes.

It may seem obvious, but in order to create quality mechanical drawings, it is important to be able to read and interprate mechanical drawings. Review the following presentation, work through the activities then create a mechanical drawing to see if you replicated the object correctly.

U4.9 - Creating Models and Drawings from Drawings

Activity:

In this exercise we will create CAD Models from the NIMS Credential drawings. Then we will create our own drawings and add all of the dimension/table/mfg drawing information.

More specificly, Create a Model from the following drawing:

U4.9a - NIMS Milling 2.5_2.6.pdf

The following video outlines some important tips about how to create your model and drawing:

Now review the following video to learn how to create highly acurate drawings that include:

Baseline Dimensions
Datum Planes
Multiple feature notes
Adjust precision of dimensions
Create Control Frames
Add Basic Dimensions
Define Hole and Thread Information
Create Notes, Revision Tables and Custom Title Blocks (Download the NIMS image Here: U4.9 -NIMS LOGO.jpg)
