blueprint overview
00:05
in this video.
00:06
We'll review of blueprint,
00:08
identify areas of a blueprint and will identify drawing views
00:13
infusion 3 60. We want to get started by uploading the supply data set.
00:21
An F three Z. Is an archive file that will contain multiple designs.
00:24
In this case we'll get a drawing the 123 block drawing as well as the 123 block.
00:30
We're gonna be taking a look at this design,
00:32
expanding on some basic information about how drawing views are created,
00:36
understand the different areas of a blueprint and hopefully shed a little
00:40
bit of light on how manufacturing drawings are created and laid out.
00:44
So first, let's take a look at 123 block drawing.
00:48
This has two separate drawing sheets which you can find at the bottom.
00:52
The first one is called first angle and the second one is called third angle.
00:58
Each of these drawing sheets contain a couple of different pieces of information.
01:01
But the main thing we're going to focus on first is
01:04
the difference between first angle projection and third angle projection.
01:09
These are going to be represented by the icon you find in this
01:12
bottom right corner which is typically where a title block is located.
01:16
This icon here represents first angle projection and if
01:20
we take a look at our second drawing view,
01:22
it's different because the tapered cone is on the right hand side and the front
01:26
view is on the left hand side and this represents our third angle projection.
01:31
Understanding these is going to be an important key to understanding
01:34
how drawing views are laid out to better understand this.
01:38
Let's go ahead and hop into the 123 block drawing.
01:41
We're going to begin by expanding the sketches and
01:44
we'll also take a look at the bodies.
01:46
There's a separate body that's hidden called projection cube.
01:49
We can think of this projection cube as the drawing views that
01:53
we're going to be creating when we think about first angle projection.
01:57
What we're thinking about is the actual object is
02:01
going to be in front of the viewing plane.
02:05
So what I'm gonna do is take a look at this projection view as if we were the drawing.
02:10
So using the projection view in our name views folder,
02:13
we can see that the object in this case are 123 block is in front of our front view.
02:18
It's above our top view and you can see that our right view is behind it.
02:23
When we take a look at this from a third angle projection,
02:27
What we see is that our object is actually behind our projection planes.
02:31
Our front view is now in front of the object,
02:34
the top view is above it and the right view is to the right side of it.
02:37
These are going to be important aspects of understanding
02:40
the difference between 1st and 3rd angle projection.
02:44
It's also important to note that Infusion 3 60.
02:46
When we're creating drawings, there are two different standards.
02:48
The ISO standard and the A. N. S. I. Standard which is labeled as
02:53
A S. M. E.
02:54
Now the ISO standard drawings are first angle projection views and the N. S. I.
02:59
Standard drawings are third angle projection views.
03:03
Let's go ahead and hide the third angle projections again.
03:05
And let's take a look at a first angle drawing.
03:07
What we can see here is that our right view was folded
03:11
down flat and our top view was also folded down flat.
03:14
When you see a first angle projection drawing,
03:17
you typically see the front view and the left view or the right view is
03:22
going to be projected off to the side and the top view will be below.
03:26
If we take a look at this from a third angle projection,
03:28
you can see that the top view is above and the right view is off to the right.
03:33
Let's go ahead and hop back into our drawing and take a look at both of these again.
03:37
So here we can see our first angle projection.
03:40
We've got our base view which is our front view.
03:42
The top view is below and the right view is off to the side.
03:45
However, with our third angle projection,
03:48
we have our front view here are top view here and our right view here.
03:52
I know it can get a little bit confusing because drawings typically contain a lot of
03:56
information but understanding the foundation of the 1st
03:59
and 3rd angle projection is the great starting point
04:03
now that we have a basic understanding of 1st and 3rd projection.
04:07
Let's talk about some of the different areas of a blueprint.
04:10
There are different standards when creating a blueprint.
04:13
So depending on which standard blueprint you're looking at,
04:16
things may look a little different.
04:17
For example,
04:18
dimensions might be displayed differently depending on if you're
04:21
using an ISO standard or an ANSI standard.
04:24
When we take a look at various aspects of drawings,
04:27
there are some commonalities for example,
04:29
the 1st and 3rd projection and usually and included isometric view.
04:34
These are common across the board on different types of drawings but
04:38
you might find drawing sheets that only contain one or two views.
04:41
It really depends on the need of manufacturer.
04:44
Next the bottom right area is called the title block area
04:48
and this often has critical information about the projection type,
04:51
the project title, any part numbers, the approval status and so on.
04:56
You might also find that you have things like revision tables or parts tables if you
05:01
have an assembly drawing or if you have
05:03
a part that's gone through multiple revisions.
05:06
I've excluded those from this drawing just to simplify it a little bit.
05:10
Also note that there are often times notes
05:13
either included in the title block or separate from
05:16
the title block that represent things like universal tolerances
05:19
and potentially things like champ for and Philip distances
05:23
If we take a look at our second sheet,
05:26
you'll notice that there are a handful of different views here.
05:29
When we take a look at drawing views,
05:31
we have our standard views which is considered a base view
05:34
in this case it's our front view for third angle projection.
05:37
And then we have our projected views which are top and right.
05:41
And even the isometric can either be a base view or a projected view.
05:45
If we try to move these around they are linked together and
05:49
you'll notice that some of the notes will move along with it
05:53
along with those different types of views. We have this line here representing an A.
05:58
Which sends us over to this section view this represents a cutting line through our
06:04
part and the notes will tell us which section it is in this case A.
06:09
As well as its scale
06:11
up here. In the top view, you can see that we've got a dash line showing the letter B.
06:16
The letter B. Is this detail here which gives us a detailed view.
06:21
When we look at the different drawing views
06:22
section views and detailed views are very common.
06:25
There are other types of views as well such as this one down here which is a break view.
06:30
Break view is typically used on longer parts and it
06:33
allows you to create a shorter section of the part.
06:36
So you can focus in on certain details
06:39
Back on our first sheet. We only really have projected views here.
06:43
There are no additional view types
06:45
infusion 360.
06:46
It's a great idea to try and take a look at the
06:49
create menu to see what types of views can be created.
06:52
Some other areas of a blueprint that you might want to identify.
06:56
Will be things like the border.
06:57
The border will give you information about
06:60
where the center is located and oftentimes
07:02
there will be a grid value depending on the sheet scale of your drawing.
07:07
Another area that we do want to look at,
07:08
infusion 360 is going to be in our document settings and sheet settings.
07:13
If we expand these, you'll note that are document settings will let us know what
07:17
is being used.
07:18
The text height, the dimensions,
07:21
the line with group and things like the revision scope.
07:25
Inside of our sheet settings.
07:27
You'll notice that we have individual settings apply to each sheet.
07:30
It tells us in this case we're using a sheet size B and it's a 17 inch by 11 inch.
07:36
We also have our title block which is the A. N. S. Title block.
07:40
This is a default title block depending on which style of drawing you're creating.
07:45
If you're using an ISO standard, it would say that you're using the S. O.
07:49
Title block here.
07:50
The last thing that we want to identify on our drawing
07:53
sheet for now is going to be the line types.
07:56
There are a couple different types of lines that we'll
07:58
find on detailed drawings when we have thick continuous lines.
08:02
These are typically used for the border of parts.
08:05
This part actually has a champ for on it,
08:07
but the outside edges or lines will typically
08:09
be thicker than things like dimension lines.
08:12
Our thin continuous lines are going to be used for dimensions and
08:16
oftentimes these can be broken depending on if they cross other lines.
08:21
We also have thick and thin dash lines and
08:25
these are typically used for things like center lines.
08:27
We go to sheet two and we take a look at things like our break view.
08:32
We take a look at our detailed view and even the center marks.
08:36
You can see that these have different types of
08:38
lines that will help us identify the features.
08:41
Some of these features also have dash lines
08:43
on them and these represent a tapped hole.
08:46
These different pieces of information will help you quickly
08:49
pull out details about the part you need to machine
08:52
for right now,
08:53
let's go ahead and make sure that we save any
08:55
changes that way we can move on to the next step

02:59
Standard drawings are third angle projection views.
03:03
Let's go ahead and hide the third angle projections again.
03:05
And let's take a look at a first angle drawing.
03:07
What we can see here is that our right view was folded
03:11
down flat and our top view was also folded down flat.
