Orthographic Drawing and AutoCad Summary
Orthographic Drawing and AutoCAD
Study Lesson 1-3: Engineering Drawings
Orthographic Projection
Three standard views – Front, Top, Right
Isometric view – a 3-Dimensional representation of the part with depth lines drawn at 30° angles
Study Lesson 2-1: CAD/CAM Introduction
CAD – Computer Aided Design
Advantages of CAD
Easier creation and correction of drawings
o Better visualization of drawings
o Toolbox of drawing aids
o Quick and convenient design analysis
o Simulation and testing of designs
o Increased accuracy
o Improved filing
o Better communication with manufacturing
Isometric view – a 3-Dimensional representation of the part with depth lines drawn at 30° angles
Also Know …
AutCAD LT basics:
1. Review the following tutorials from the class webpage:
ACAD Intro Tutorial
ACAD Offset Tutorial
ACAD Problems
2. Know how to do Assignment #2 from the webpage like the back of your hand!!!
3. Know layers – know how they work and how to manipulate them
4. Know how to start a new document and insert a standard border
