Add GD & T text and symbols

00:02

had G. D. And T symbols.

00:06

After completing this video you'll be able to add G. D. And T.

00:09

And notations and use text

00:13

Infusion 3 60. Let's carry on with our Blade Guard Assembly drawing

00:18

Whenever you're creating a detailed drawing, adding symbols and G. D. And T.

00:22

And notations is going to be a critical

00:23

step in the manufacture process for this design.

00:27

Let's go ahead and let's create a new sheet and I'm going to add a new base view

00:33

For this new base view.

00:34

I'm going to set this to a 2-1 scale and place it right in the center.

00:40

I'm gonna select. Okay

00:42

and then I want to hide all the other components except for the guide post.

00:48

Leaving just this component behind. I'm then going to create some projected views.

00:54

I'm gonna click the green check mark to say okay

00:57

and now I want to add some text and G. D. And T. Symbols.

01:01

Text is a great way to add notes to the general

01:04

drawing area that can be used to help clarify a design

01:08

things like tumble finish

01:11

or assemble before shipping.

01:18

These notes can be moved around the drawing just like any of the drawing views.

01:22

There can also be information contained in the title

01:24

block which we'll get to in a little bit.

01:27

Next let's talk about the symbols area of detailed drawings. There are G. D. N. T.

01:31

Symbols for things like surface texture

01:34

data identifiers and feature control frames.

01:36

We also have information for welding symbols and taper and slope.

01:41

In this video we're going to focus on data identifiers and feature control frames

01:46

for data identifiers.

01:47

These are going to identify critical locations of

01:49

a design and help identify tolerance controlled areas.

01:53

First we're going to use a datum identifier for one side of this part.

01:58

We're going to place it and pull it off to the right hand side and say okay,

02:02

this data identifier is going to be a

02:05

going to right click and repeat the data identifier.

02:09

I'm going to place another datum identifier on the bottom

02:14

and click the green check mark to say okay

02:17

this data identifier is going to be be

02:21

next. I'm going to place one more data identifier on this face.

02:27

Now that we have these three datum identifiers.

02:29

I'm going to add a feature control frame.

02:32

I'm going to select this backside face,

02:35

place my feature control frame and then use the green check mark.

02:39

I'm going to use a specific characteristic such as parallelism.

02:44

The tolerance value within .005 relative to data a so we're going to

02:50

enter an a value here and there's more information that we can add.

02:54

But this is a basic idea of how a datum identifier and a control frame would work.

02:59

It's telling you that this face needs to be

03:02

parallel relative to data a within a specific tolerance.

03:07

These data identifiers and control frames can be added to various parts

03:10

of your design to help to aid in manufacturing intolerance controlled areas

03:15

for right now let's go ahead and save the design before moving on.
