Advanced Drawings Overview Lesson 3 introduces drawing basics. This tutorial contains three lessons, wherein four drawing sheets are created. It is recommended that you complete the lessons in this order: Time Tutorial Creating Drawing Views shows how to create and dimension different drawing views. Detailing shows how to use tools to annotate drawings. Assembly Drawing Views shows how to create an exploded assembly view and use annotations specifically designed for assemblies. Contents Creating Drawing Views Creating a Section View Open a drawing and create a section view from the existing front view. Modifying the Section View The section view is aligned in the direction of the cut, as indicated by the arrows of the section line. The arrows of the section line should point down. Dimensioning the Section View Completing the Section View Dimensions Creating a Projected View The broken-out section view exposes the inner details of a model in a drawing. A broken-out section view is part of an existing drawing view. First you create a projected view, then you create the broken-out section view. Creating a Broken Out Section View Now that you have a projected view, you can create a broken-out section view. Editing a Broken Out Section View Edit the crosshatch of the broken-out section view so it is easier to see. Creating a Crop View Now create a crop view of the front view to get a closer look of the detailed drawing. Defining Crop View Boundaries Now sketch a closed profile to define the boundaries of the crop view. Dimensioning a Crop View Detailing In this lesson, you learn to use the following detailing tools to annotate a drawing: Autodimensioning the Front Drawing View In the previous lesson, you manually inserted dimensions into the drawing. Now you insert dimensions automatically. Autodimensioning the Top and Right Drawing Views Aligning the Dimensions Inserting a Datum Feature Symbol Inserting a Geometric Tolerance Symbol Next, insert a geometric tolerance symbol that references the datum feature symbol. Inserting a Note You can create a note, then save it in the Design Library for reuse in other drawings. Saving a Note to the Design Library The Design Library provides a central location for reusable elements, such as notes. Inserting Model Items If you insert dimensions and annotations while you create a part, you can insert these "model items" into all of the drawing views automatically. Assembly Drawing Views In this lesson, you use the following tools to create an assembly drawing: Creating an Exploded View You can create an exploded view in a drawing by using an exploded configuration of an assembly. Creating a Detail View Create a detail view to show a portion of the exploded view at an enlarged scale. Inserting a Bill of Materials Now insert a bill of materials (BOM) to identify and label each part in the assembly. Customizing a Bill of Materials The bill of materials has two empty columns, PRICE and COST. Use custom properties and equations to fill the columns. Inserting Balloons After you insert a BOM, use balloons to help identify individual items in the BOM. Balloons can be inserted manually or automatically. You insert them automatically in this tutorial.
