Before Entering the Drafting WB
Create the Part in Handout:
I used a Master Sketch For the Base
2’ary Sketch for Boss
3rd Sketch for Hole Center Points Then 3 Counter Bored Holes
To Enter the Drafting WorkBench:
Once In the Drafting WB we select “Empty Sheet” and Set “Modify” to ANSI size C standard
On the New Workbench: Click View Creation Wizard
We typically choose the 1st ICON for Top/Front/Rt. Side Views
And ADD an Isometric View
Click the Iso-metric ICON at the lower left – move it around your window and place it in the Upper Right Corner of the original views
After Positioning Iso-View in Part Model and Select Drafting Front View Plane:
“Playing” around with the arrows in the Blue Compass allows one to alter the image to be drafted – sliding the mouse between the “boxes” show one what will appear after the “fateful Click”!
Mouse can Drag Plots around the Sheet --
Position the Iso-View “Independently of the Reference View”
Select and Right-Click on Each View Object in the TREE – Click on
Properties:
Check:
Hidden Lines
Center Line
Axis
Next Create a “Offset Section View” in the Reference View
Double Click at the 2nd point:
Slide and position the section view to right of the ‘Right View’
Un-needed Views can be easily deleted:
Right Click on a View’s Border and click Delete!
(Here for Top View)
Now might be a good time to safe the Drafted Part: as a “Drawing” – use Save Management
NOTE:
A drawing is associated with the Part Model but we need both to proceed!
Add some “Phantom Lines”
For :
Indicating boss size on Section View
Indicating bolt hole circle on Front View
Fixing the Counterbore Dimensions
Start with Value tab click ‘Fake Dimension’ Enter 4.0 units as Main Value
We inserted Title Box Type 1
The title block is “Editable” when one is in the “Blued Mode” on the background sheet
Preparing for Printing• Scale is “Strange”! I set front and section
views to 4:1, Isometric view to 2:1 when I printed the “Faked” C-size drawing to Letter paper my measured scale was about 1.93:1!
• So, edit the title box to reflect the “actual scale” which is about half of that automatically set during sizing exercize
• Fonts in Dimensions needed to be increased to about 7.000 mm – space permitting
• Turn off View borders before printing – in Right Click View … Properties – checkbox!
