Working drawing in Drafting

drawings used as a reference or guide in the manufacture of a product.
 composed according to industry standards so that all the information is easily and clearly
understood.

Two distinct types of working drawing

Detail Drawing
 The detail drawing conveys as much information as possible about a single component.
 It will be clearly labeled with a part number and name.
 It may include several views of the object--top, front and side--and a projection view.
 These drawings are annotated with information, including overall and detail dimensions,
tolerances, materials, and treatments.

Assembly drawing
 Assembly drawings show how pieces of a construction fit together.
 exploded view - with pieces drawn separately but in correct relative positions
 general assembly drawing - where everything is drawn in its right place
 detailed assembly drawing - which is a drawing of working assembly with measurements.

BLUEPRINT READING

Three main parts

 Drawing – graphical representation that shows the exact shape of a component.
 Dimensions – Numbers that provide the measurements of a piece of drawing.
 Notes – include information that cannot easily identified on the drawing or information needed
to fabricate the component.

Drawings

 Exploded view
 good for viewing how pieces fit together.
 Usually no dimension or piece of information
 Isometric
 Orthographic
 Each component has 6 sides and each can be shown as a view on a drawing.
 Typically there are 3 views (front, Top, and right side)
Alphabets of line
 Visible line – thick
 Hidden line – thin broken line
 Center line – thin
 Extension and dimension line – thin
 Projection line – thin
 Cutting plane line – showing direction of viewing plane.
 Break line – thick for short breaks, thin
 Phantom line – thin
 Section line – thin

Sectional Drawing
 are multi-view technical drawings that contain special views of a part or parts, which reveal
interior features.

DIMENSIONS

 fractions of decimal.
