add geometry and dimensions to a drawing.
00:06
After completing this video, you'll be able to use center line,
00:09
use center mark and add dimensions.
00:13
Infusion 3 60. Let's carry on with our Blade Guard Assembly drawing.
00:18
At this point we've added a lot of views but we
00:20
haven't added any annotations or dimensions before we get started.
00:24
Let's take the view that contains only the guard
00:26
post and let's create one more projected view.
00:30
We're going to drag this off to the left hand side,
00:33
creating a right view for first angle projection.
00:36
And then I want to move all these views over to the right
00:40
now.
00:40
We want to take a look at adding some geometry and dimensions to our drawing geometry
00:45
can be added to help identify things like
00:47
the center lines and center marks on designs.
00:50
For example, a center mark is great to use at the center of a bolt hole location.
00:54
It gives us a visual reference as well as something that we can measure to.
00:58
Using a center line.
00:60
Can help us when we're trying to find the
01:01
center point between a section view of a hole.
01:04
For example,
01:05
selecting these gives us the center line of that hole,
01:09
adding these different types of geometry to a design.
01:12
Can really help simplify the view and help us identify critical areas.
01:17
Now that we've added a few geometry marks. Let's go ahead and add some dimensions
01:21
from the dimensions. Drop down.
01:23
There are a lot of different types of dimensions but the dimension tool
01:26
will make use of adding linear aligned angular radius and diameter dimensions.
01:32
There are other types of dimensions for bigger parts or
01:34
parts that contain features that were created using patterns,
01:38
things like ordinate dimensions.
01:40
Baseline and chain dimensions can be extremely handy for our part.
01:44
We're going to focus on just using the dimension tool first.
01:47
I want to give an overall with using the dimension tool.
01:51
We're going to select the two bottom pieces and add a metric dimension.
01:55
Then I want to select the two sides and at a height.
01:59
We want to have an overall height. So I'll go from the bottom all the way to the top.
02:04
And then we want to add some information about these holes,
02:07
designs that were created directly in fusion 360 and holes using the whole
02:11
tool will have additional information that can come directly from those holes.
02:15
Things like the hole and thread notes.
02:17
Without these,
02:18
we can still create those notes manually but it is
02:21
a little bit more difficult and time consuming to do
02:24
Something to keep in mind with designs that are
02:26
imported versus ones that were created in fusion 360
02:30
can hit escape to get off the dimension tool and I
02:32
want to move my section view note over to the side.
02:36
If we want to modify any of these dimensions, we can double click on them.
02:41
We can add text outside of the brackets.
02:43
We can insert symbols and we can also use dual units or add tolerances if needed.
02:49
For example,
02:50
if I want to add alternate units such as inch
02:52
and if I want to include a tolerance value,
02:54
we can do plus or -11,
02:57
we can add it as a deviation or we can give it an upper and lower limit.
03:01
We can see how each of these are displayed based on the unit settings of the drawing.
03:06
I'm going to select clothes and leave those in that detail.
03:10
In addition to dimensions, we can also add text notes,
03:13
whole notes and bend notes on sheet metal parts.
03:16
In a case like this,
03:17
we can add a leader note and we can point
03:20
to a specific component in design and add a note
03:24
in this case. Full threat
03:27
here, you can see some basics of creating a detailed drawing
03:30
at this point. Let's go ahead and select OK. On the note
03:33
will fit our drawing view to screen and make sure that we say before moving on.
