Drawings.
00:03
After completing this lecture,
00:04
you'll be able to
00:05
understand drawings in fusion,
00:06
describe the workflow for detailed drawings,
00:08
and identify drawing tools.
00:11
To get started,
00:12
what is a drawing?
00:13
Well,
00:13
drawing,
00:14
a detailed drawing or a blueprint is a document used to convey design intent.
00:18
Detailed drawings contain dimensions and annotations for things like features,
00:22
size and position.
00:24
Drawings are often used in manufacturing to ensure that
00:26
a part that's being produced meets its specifications.
00:30
Drawing standards are used to control elements like view position,
00:33
dimension type,
00:34
and overall drawing scheme.
00:36
And drawing standards do vary by location,
00:38
industry,
00:39
and company.
00:40
What do drawings reference?
00:42
Well,
00:43
detailed drawings will reference designs in fusion.
00:46
A drawing can reference a sheet metal component and it's folded in flat states,
00:49
assemblies,
00:50
individual components,
00:51
and animation storyboards.
00:54
Changes to a design will require an update
00:56
to the latest version in a detailed drawing.
00:59
Component properties are used to populate things like title blocks and tables.
01:04
What are drawing standards?
01:05
Well,
01:06
drawing standards are gonna be a set of
01:07
rules or guidelines that will ensure uniformity,
01:10
clarity and consistency in how the information is being presented.
01:14
Fusion will either use the ASME or ISO standards
01:18
to drive how certain drawing elements are presented.
01:21
The ASME standard is primarily used in North America.
01:24
It uses a 3rd angle projection and commonly uses the Imperial unit system.
01:29
The ISO standard are common in Europe and other parts of the world
01:32
and uses a first angle projection and favors the metric unit system.
01:38
Drawing views.
01:40
Drawing views are used to show designs
01:42
from different positions and highlight critical features.
01:45
Base views are typically the first view added to a
01:47
detailed drawing and are the default on drawing creation.
01:51
Projective views reference a base view and will create a drawing view
01:55
in a specified location projected 90 degrees or in an isometric orientation.
02:00
Section views are used to show and annotate a model
02:03
view that is sliced by a specified axis or polyline.
02:07
Detailed views create a zoomed in view to a specified area on a base view.
02:13
Drawing views such as projected,
02:15
section,
02:15
and detail retained properties from their parent view,
02:18
but can be changed.
02:19
These include properties such as shading,
02:21
edge display,
02:22
and scale.
02:24
Drawing dimensions and annotations.
02:27
Drawings contain dimensions and annotations to help identify details of a design.
02:32
Dimensions are used to represent the size of a feature.
02:36
Dimensions often assume a global tolerance value or will have
02:40
a specified tolerance value if different than the global tolerance.
02:44
Annotations are symbols or notes that are used to identify geometry datums,
02:49
additional feature controls,
02:50
or to locate centers or midlines of features.
02:55
Title blocks.
02:57
Title blocks are found in the lower corner of a detailed drawing.
02:60
Title blocks are customized per company and often per
03:03
design type and sheet in a drawing packet.
03:06
Title blocks contain information about who modeled a design,
03:09
who approved it,
03:10
release and revision status,
03:12
drawing number,
03:12
scale,
03:13
tolerance,
03:13
and more.
03:14
Title blocks are critical to detailed drawings.
03:18
In conclusion,
03:20
drawings are used to convey design intent
03:22
and clearly define critical dimensions and tolerances.
03:26
Drawings are used in manufacturing for part
03:27
inspection as well as manufacture planning.
03:31
Drawings are linked to designs and can't update based on design changes.
03:35
And drawing standards will vary per industry and company.
