Cross Hatch Symbols


Sectional Drawing Test Review

Part Drawing -> detail drawings completley describe a single part or orthographic projection.Provides all information necessary.

Assembly Drawings -> used to show the position and functional relationship parts in an assembly.
They have no dimensions.

Section Views ->are used to clarify internal detail and to avoid dimensioning to hidden lines. They are established by refrencing a cutting plane. They depict the exact location on the part from which the section view will be projected, and should have associated arrowheads, indication the direction from which the section view will be observed. Cutting planes are constructed as an integral feature of the parent view, and cutting plane arrowheas always indicate the direction for the observers line of sight.

Cross Hatching -> a repeating graohic pattern which is applied throughout all areas of the part that would be in contact with the cutting plane. . The recommended angle for the standard cross hatch patter is 45,30,60 degress horizontal.

Half Sections -> views are the result of cutting planes being positioned on parts in such a manner that only half of the resulting view or projection is show in section. Used on objects of symmetry.

Offset Sections-> allows us to provide greater breadth of detail with fewer section views. all of the features are aligned with the cutting plane.

Week 14

Monday - Today we opened our blogs for Mr.D to mark to check our progress this year. He made sure we were doing our journals. And then we watched the structural view of the twin towers and 911. We watched it to learn about the planning in building something for our next project where we have to build a crane out of popsicle sticks. This movie was very interesting.

Tuesday - Today we did a note on sectional drawings, then we had to make sure our logs where up to date with everything loaded onto them and all of our journals done.

Wednesday- Today we did three quizzes in chapter 8 on Architectural drawings for Auto Cad. We did them for review for our test tommorrow. If we do not have the test tommorrow we will be having it on tuesday after Victoria Day. After that we got our crane project and i searched collapsing cranes on youtube.com.

Thursday - Today was dress down day. We did a note on engineering and its whole purpose was to guide us along in our Crane Project. Then after that we had to do research for our crane project. We had to research different ideas and information on how a crane works

Friday - Today I was at Skills Canada

Week 13

Monday - Today i did seven orthographic drawings. I had to find the missing view and then go from orthagraphic to pictorial. These worksheets where college/university, and they were challenging however when we took them up i got them all right, however i sometimes forgot to put in hidden lines.

Tuesday- Today I handed in my orthographic drawings with the corrections done to them. Then we got our final cad drawing, and it seems challenging. We have to do a control bracket. First i started with the grid then did the limits to 150,200. They seem reasonable. Then i started the front view however I am not finished just yet.

Wednesday- Today i continued my final Cad Drawing i did the right side view and the top view. It was very challenging because we had to learn new commanads to make a hexagon. Which was "poly". I will have to add all of my dimensions and hidden lines tommorrow.

Thursday - Today i added the hidden lines to my Final Cad drawing, i still have to add the ceneter lines and the dimensions then i will be done.

Friday - Today i finished up my Final Autocad drawing. this drawing was harder then most of the other ones we have done

Week 12

Monday - started to do our own drawings. Orthographic, we had to figure out the top front view drawing the top view and the right view. And then we had to open it on AutoCad and set up our grid or limits and our dimscale.

Tuesday - Today we learned more about orthographic drawings. Then we continued on the AutoCad orhtographic drawings. Today i only started the second piece which is the right view. I will soon have to add then hidden lines and the dimensions , and then post it onto blogger.

Wednesday- Today i continued to work on my vertical brace in AutoCad. I finished the drawing and then had to finish the measurements because they where on the right view instead of the front view. I then had to change the spacing of how far the views were from eachother. After that i had to change my limits because my right side view was going off the page.

Thursday- Today i put my vertical brace onto paper in AutoCad and uploaded it onto blogger, then i updated my journal from yesterday. After this i was done all of my assignments.

Friday - Was not present, was in Toronto at OCAD
