Drawing help

[Njprince94]

I was asked to draw this drawing with a front view, top view and a auxiliary view but I am not quite sure what I was asked to do because there are two seperate parts to this drawing. Can anyone maybe roughly draw up what the views would look like? Even a drawing on paint would help I just need to know how its supposed to look. Thanks

 

 

I do have some experience in autocad and my latest and drawing was this with 7 views.

It looks like a single part to me, from what you have shown.

I would suggest that you get ahead of your class and try to

do a 3D Model of it.

If you manage to do that you you can daze and amaze your instructor

with VIEWBASE generated 2D drawings from a total of 8 typical perspectives,

and maybe throw in a vewport with a realistic visualstyle perspective to

get your work well over the goal line.

It may well be easier to model it, and let the software draw it.

[Njprince94]

OHHH wow im so oblivious..it is one piece haha :S Thats a little overboard at my level! Would you mind showing me what the auxiliary view would look like for that drawing?

[Dadgad]

Try starting by drawing the FRONT VIEW.

First things first.

A journey of a million parts, starts with a single polyline.

Let me prove to you that you can do it.

Help me to help you.

 

 

If you draw the very peculiarl bridge which I am modeling, I will do this drawing for you.

Fair enough?

[Njprince94]

Yes I will show you what I can do first hold on

[Njprince94]

Okay I dont even got how to do the front view. I dont know the distance near the angle of 45 degrees. That empty space. :/

[Dadgad]

The distance to the 45 degree segment is shown along the bottom edge of the horizontal member.

Draw a line at 45 degrees from that known location, then offset the line by the known thickness of the part.

[Njprince94]

I meant the top view and this part sorry

[Dadgad]

Me too.

Draw the bottom line 3.38 units long,

with a line descending from the right hand end of it at 45 degrees.

Now you can OFFSET those lines or polyline, whatever you drew

by a value of 0.5 units, which is the thickness of the plate.

 

Am I reading this correctly, that the previous exercise was METRIC,

and that this one is probably IMPERIAL, based on the absence

of a METRIC note?

[ReMark]

Maybe this will clear things up for you a bit. Of course that assumes I drew it correctly. If I didn't JDM will tell us both where I went wrong.

[Dadgad]

Looks pretty good to me ReMark, and I am sure you are glad you were able to model it, instead of drawing it.

Much easier.

I was hoping that the OP would rise to the bait and model it, would have been pretty easy once

the front view was done, I thought I was going to walk him through it.

[ReMark]

By all means walk him through it. The OP would probably appreciate the verbal assist.

[Dadgad]

I don't mean I thought I was going to walk him through it!

But rather that I sensed we were going to stay right on it, and the OP sounded enthused, but I guess not.

I must have spooked him with talk of modeling.

I'm a bit busy today, and sure your help is greatly appreciated.

Maybe this will lure him back.

Not 100% sure on the way I showed the holes. I'm a bit rusty when it comes to machining.

[SLW210]

Technically speaking, you would need at least one section view straight on to the angled part of the bracket.

[ReMark]

OK.

 

Why would that be?

 

Remember...this is not the type of work I do on a daily basis. Or even monthly for that matter.

 

Thanks.

[SLW210]

To detail the T-Slot on the end. Same reason there is a seperate drawing for that in the text.

[ReMark]

Ahhhhh.....I see said the blind man to his deaf coworker. I should have had a V-8!

 

Gotcha.

 

Thanks.

[ReMark]

Would this be acceptable? I rotated the bracket to get a good head-on view of the right side.

[SLW210]

That would be sufficient for me to machine the T-Slot, yes.

 

Hopefully an instructor would feel the same way, odds are others will miss this necessary view.
