Size Description

Size Description:
Break objects in to elementary parts, like cuboids, cylinders, cones, etc. dimension each for: Size Location

Elements of dimensioning:

Centre line Extension line imension line

Fundamental Principles of Dimensioning

larity Essentiality Functionality

larity:
Each feature is dimensioned and positioned where its shape shows
R R?

R?

Essentiality:
Each feature is dimensioned and positioned only ONCE

onvention: Diameters for full circles, radii for arcs

Some Dimensioning Rules

Show diameter of a circle, not its radius

Some Dimensioning Rules

Place Dimensions outside the view

unless placing them inside leads to improved clarity

Some Dimensioning Rules

Locate dimension lines so that they will not cross extension lines

25

Some Dimensioning Rules

Locate dimension lines so that they will not cross extension lines Keep parallel dimensions equally spaced

26

Some Dimensioning Rules

Locate dimension lines so that they will not cross extension lines Keep parallel dimensions equally spaced ircular features are located by their centres, if possible

27

Some Dimensioning Rules

Arrange a series of dimensions in a continuous line
