Engineering graphics communication involves the use of visual material to convey technical ideas and problem solutions. Engineering or technical drawing one of the most widely used method. Definition of drawing:

A graphic representation of an idea, concept or an entity which actually or potentially exists in life.

Overview

MEMB113 | Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | UNITEN | 2005

Importance:

A way of communication between engineers at all stages of the design & problem solving from initial ideas, design, analysis & manufacturing. For Visualisation, Communication and Documentation

Visualisation The ability to mentally picture things that do not exist in front of the eyes.

Communication The design solution should be communicated to others without ambiguity

Documentation Permanent record of the solution for future reference.

3 methods of creating technical drawings


Freehand, mechanical & digital

Technical sketching is the process of producing a rough preliminary drawing representing the main features of a product or structure Normally done by freehand, generally less finished, less structured/ restricted, & take less time to produce

Used extensively in the first stage of design process to visualise or convey ideas An informal tool used by everyone involved in the design & manufacture of a product

Sketching tool

Paper, pencils, eraser

Sketching technique e.g.

Straight line sketch Circle & arc Component (proportional sketch) Pictorial sketch

In sketching, proportionality is important. Even though it is a freehand sketch, the lines should be relatively sharp and straight for a good quality sketch.

Drawings are widely used in engineering applications: manufacturing, design, structural, electrical, etc. Standards and conventions

To ensure everybody using the same method Commonly used: ANSI, ASME, ISO, JIS, MS, DIN, BS

MEMB113 | Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | UNITEN | 2005

One of the important aspect in technical drawing is the layout

Drawing layout

MEMB113 | Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | UNITEN | 2005

Drawing layout is the standard template and components of a drawing E.g.

Drawing sheets paper sizes Usually based on 'A' series Drawing sheets material paper, linen, plastic film Drawing sheet layout Sheet frames or border Usually 20mm for A0 & A1, 10mm for others Title block or title frame Represents general information source for a drawing Usually at bottom righthand corner

A0 : 1189x841 A1 : 841 x 594 A2 : 594 x 420 A3 : 420 X 297

Revision Table A revision table is normally located in the upper right of the drawing frame, or at the bottom on the left side of the title block. All modifications to the drawing should be documented here.

Material or Parts List If the drawing contains a number of parts, or if it is an assembly drawing, a tabulated parts list is attached to the bottom right of the drawing frame, just above the title block. The parts list should give the following information: the part number the part name the quantity required material specifications the drawing number of each individual part other applicable information When the parts list is very large a separate drawing sheet may be used for the parts list alone.
Zoning A drawing may be divided up into a grid using letters and numbers. When zoning is used it is located inside the drawing frame. Zoning allows easy references to various parts of the drawing by referencing a coordinate such as C7. Title Block The title block is normally placed in the bottom right of the drawing frame, and it should contain the following information: - the name of the company or organization - the title of the drawing - the drawing number, which is generally a unique filing identifier - the scale - the angle of projection used, either first or third, generally shown symbolically - the signature or initials of the draftsman, checker, approving officer, and issuing officer, with the respective dates -other information as required

Drawing layout title block

MEMB113 | Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | UNITEN | 2005

A title block is the form on which the actual drawing is a section. The title block includes the border and the various sections for providing quality, administrative and technical information. The importance of the title block cannot be minimised as it includes all the information which enables the drawing to be intepreted, identified and archived. E.g.

Lettering

MEMB113 | Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | UNITEN | 2005

Text is an important part of a technical drawing. Not all info required on technical dwg can be communicate graphically such as dimensions. One method of creating text is by freehand lettering. The standard style for freehand lettering is singlestroke Gothic lettering.

MEMB113 | Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | UNITEN | 2005 MEMB113 | MANUAL DRAWING | CHAPTER 2

Characteristic of good lettering


Should be neat, not sloppy Should be uniform and consistent i.e. same height, proportion & inclination use guidelines Should have proper spacing of letters and words Should not contain unnecessary frills Should use capital letters except for standard abbreviation e.g. mm, kg Recommended minimum height 2.5mm Recommended height 5mm to 7mm Underlining of lettering should be avoided

Scale

MEMB113 | Dept. of Mechanical Engineering | UNITEN | 2005

What does it mean? Scale indicates the relative size of the drawing object with the real object Scale used should always be stated on drawing a very important info that is usually written in the title block. 'do not scale' / 'not to scale / NTS the drawing is not drawn to a certain scale Recommended scale 1:1 for full size for greater than full size 2:1 for twice full size 10:1 for ten times full size for reduced size Actual 1:2 for half full size 1:1 size 1:10 for tenth full size other common scale 1:5, 1:20, 1:50, 1:100, 1:500 etc.
