dstealth Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 An update - I've created the majority of the parts list and dimensioned the drawing - except for a couple of dimensions. As you can see they have made a simple enough drawing look over-complicated as they take up so much space! What can I do though if I have only been asked to produce two views of a manufacturing drawing! Chris Drawing3.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Have you got any idea how to make the Arial font as your default font style within MText? Vineta is my default at the moment and it's annoying! Arial must be set "Current" in the Text Style dialog box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 dstealth a bit, what we used to call busy. Note the revcloud on the title block. You won't need the header you've got at the top. Dimensions need to be a bit cleaner, easier to pull out and read. Just my little humble observation. Nice work. :wink: Drawing3abc.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstealth Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Arial must be set "Current" in the Text Style dialog box. Cheers Mate. I've changed it to Arial now Note the revcloud on the title block. You won't need the header you've got at the top. I don't know what you actually mean by that. I don't have a revcloud anywhere? Dimensions need to be a bit cleaner, easier to pull out and read. The trouble is, there isn't really any other way to make the drawing cleaner as it obviously has to have all of its dimensions on. If I was asked to draw it 'properly' though and include a plan and isometric view, I could have moved some of the dimensions to those views and I would have ended up with a much cleaner, easier to read drawing!

Tankman Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 dstealth the revcloud is the one I added, botton right on the title block. All the dimensions you had, I also have, just changed the location a bit; i.e.: Ø (diameters of the various circles). However was able to clear the drawing a little bit. Pleased you found Ariel font, and set the style for your drawing. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 is your hatching of the section correct? Unless something has changed since I did my apprenticeship I would have hatched through 10mm holes as the section line doesn't pass through them. And I know webs do not always have to be hatched but I find the central web not being hatched confusing. Oh, and I read the original assignment as produce an assembly drawing, NOT produce an assembly drawings with manufacturing dimensions.

Tankman Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Oh, and I read the original assignment as produce an assembly drawing, NOT produce an assembly drawings with manufacturing dimensions. I was reading the same dbroada, an assembly drawing. For assembly too much detail for sure. The drawing as is, is too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstealth Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Tankman, thanks a lot for the help with improvements on the positioning of the dimensions. It does look a lot less cluttered. dbroada and Tankman, the actual assignment does state on another page that dimensions have to be included. It's mentioined within the 'Assignment Criteria'. Oh, and has anybody noticed that the casting has 90 degree corners! It would never be designed like that in the real world, it'd just crack! Thanks a bunch everybody who contributed to the thread Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mentioined within the 'Assignment Criteria'.I would still read that as assembly dimensions rather than manufacturing dimensions. In the real world it would be impossible to dimension that way. For instance the shaft journal and the pulley hole have the same dimension so you could have an interference fit which in turn would make an interesting assembly once the key is fitted to the other end of the shaft.

Well, it did say that there had to be enough information on the drawing for the component to be manufactured, and to include dimensions, so that's what I did! You're right though, the way the job has been designed would present problems - for example what I mentioned earlier about the 90 degree corners, and also with the interference fit what you mentioned. But that's education for you. The real world is quite a bit different :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
