Practice exercise

00:02

This is a practice exercise video solution

00:05

to get started. Let's open the supply design, simple block dot F 3D.

00:10

We're going to begin by going to

00:11

our workspace picker selecting drawing from design.

00:15

We're going to make sure that our standard is set to a

00:17

sme with the unit set to inch and the sheet size of B

00:21

we'll select OK and create a new manual drawing.

00:26

Once the detailed drawing is started, we need to begin placing our views.

00:30

Remember that the ISO standard and the

00:32

A SME standard use different view orientations.

00:36

The A SME standard will use a third angle projection.

00:39

So we're going to begin by placing our first view in this left hand section,

00:43

double checking all of our settings.

00:45

In this case, whether or not we want to show hidden lines,

00:48

but we want to keep this as visible only.

00:50

And we're gonna have full tangent edges even

00:52

though this design has all sharp corners.

00:55

We'll then say, OK,

00:57

double check our document settings

00:59

and note that it's using third angle projection.

01:02

Remember when creating a detailed drawing that the standards and units are going

01:06

to be fixed based on the selection when you created that drawing.

01:09

Let's go ahead and hit,

01:10

cancel out of that and create a couple of more projected views.

01:14

We'll select our base or parent view.

01:16

We'll create a view that's vertical

01:18

out to the right and we'll also create one out to the left,

01:21

followed by an asymmetric view.

01:23

Before clicking the green check mark.

01:25

These are going to inherit some of their settings from the parent view.

01:29

They're gonna be locked to the parent view by default

01:32

and they're gonna have the parent views view style as well as its scale.

01:37

Now that we've got our views, we need to begin placing our dimensions.

01:41

It's important when we add detailed dimensions that we're

01:43

applying the required dimensions and we're not duplicating anything.

01:47

In this case, we're going to be using our dimension tool.

01:50

We're going to select this edge to place a one inch dimension.

01:53

We'll place a dimension on this edge as well

01:59

on this one here

02:02

on this left side

02:05

and across the entire bottom.

02:09

Now, in this case, we've got dimensions for these two features,

02:12

the height on the left side, the height on the right side and the overall length.

02:16

The only thing that we're missing to fully understand how this part needs to be made

02:20

is a distance from here to here,

02:22

which is going to be three quarters of an inch

02:24

and then a distance from here to here.

02:27

Once we have all these dimensions, we can right click and select. OK.

02:31

And then we can go about adjusting our dimensions.

02:34

We're gonna zoom in

02:35

and we're going to drag this dimension down until it lines up.

02:41

Then we'll go to our top view and again,

02:43

drag these dimensions until they're aligned.

02:45

Double clicking. The mouse wheel will go back to a zoom to fit.

02:50

If any dimensions need to have additional

02:52

tolerances or be called out for inspection,

02:55

we can double click on the dimensions and add additional information.

02:58

For example, if we want this to be an inspection value,

03:01

we can use inspection and it'll create a bubble or a balloon around the item.

03:06

If we need to add additional tolerances again, we can double click a dimension

03:10

and we can modify our tolerances by using this tolerance option.

03:14

In this case, we can do plus or minus 0.01

03:17

and close this.

03:19

Now we've been able to modify some of those values.

03:22

We need to go ahead and add additional information in our title block.

03:25

In most cases, you'll be working with a custom title block.

03:28

But if we simply double click on the title block,

03:30

we can begin adding information in the attribute section.

03:33

For example, this can be a rev a

03:36

drawing number maybe 1001.

03:39

And if we have information about approved by

03:43

in this case, MP

03:45

and the date

03:50

we can add that information before finishing the properties.

03:53

Remember that there are many different properties to detailed drawings,

03:57

information like general tolerances,

03:59

the material that's being used and the weight,

04:01

making sure that your detailed drawings have.

04:03

All the information required is an important step.

04:05

And we've only taken a look at some of the basics here.

04:08

So continue to play around with this detailed drawing.

04:10

And when you're done, make sure that you save it before moving on.
