Computer Aided Engineering Drawing

The document discusses computer aided engineering drawing and provides information on: 1) Why engineering drawings are used to formally and precisely communicate physical object shapes, sizes, and precision. 2) Common line conventions used in drawings such as visible, hidden, section, and dimension lines. 3) How to sketch drawings by hand without tools and project points in different quadrants onto principal planes of projection. 4) How to project lines in different orientations, including determining true length and inclination. 5) How to project planes and basic types of solids like polyhedrons and solids of revolution.

COMPUTER AIDED ENGINEERING DRAWING

Why Engineering Drawings?


Engineering drawing is a formal and precise way of
communicating information about the shape, size,
features and precision of physical objects.
Drawing is the universal language of engineering.

Line Conventions

Visible Lines solid thick lines that represent visible edges or contours
Hidden Lines short evenly spaced dashes that depict hidden features
Section Lines solid thin lines that indicate cut surfaces
Center Lines alternating long and short dashes
Dimensioning
Dimension Lines - solid thin lines showing dimension extent/direction
Extension Lines - solid thin lines showing point or line to which dimension applies
Leaders direct notes, dimensions, symbols, part numbers, etc. to features on drawing

Cutting-Plane and Viewing-Plane Lines indicate location of cutting planes for sectional
views and the viewing position for removed partial views
Break Lines indicate only portion of object is drawn. May be random squiggled line
or thin dashes joined by zigzags.
Phantom Lines long thin dashes separated by pairs of short dashes indicate alternate
positions of moving parts, adjacent position of related parts and repeated detail
Chain Line Lines or surfaces with special requirements

Solution

Projection of Lines
Straight line: Defined as the locus of a point, which
moves linearly.
Or Shortest distance between any two given points.
Straight line is one dimensional object.
Projection of Line: is obtained by placing the straight
line in space and projecting the end points of the line
on the principal planes of projection (HP, VP, PP) and
connecting the points.
From now on we look at the projections with respect
to First quadrant only.

Projection of Lines

A line may be held in space with reference to


HP,VP and PP in infinite number of positions.

Parallel to both the planes


Parallel to one plane and perpendicular to the other
Parallel to one plane and inclined to the other
Inclined to both the planes

Parallel to both the planes

Parallel to one plane and perpendicular to the other

Parallel to one plane and inclined to the other

Inclined to both the planes

True length
If a line is parallel to any one of the planes, its
projection on that plane will give true length

True length and true inclination


If a line is inclined to one principal plane and is
parallel to the other plane, its projection on that plane
gives true length and true inclination.

If a line is parallel to VP and inclined at to


HP, the front view will be true length and at
true inclination

If a line is parallel to HP and inclined at to VP, the


top view will be true length and true inclination .

is the inclination always measured with respect to


object and HP

Projection of Solids
What is solid:
A solid may be defined as a three dimensional
object having length, breadth and thickness bonded
by surfaces.
Solids may be classified under two headings
1. Polyhedron
2. Solids of revolution
