  1. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Week 7: Dimensioning

  2. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Here’s what we talked about last time….. Week 7: Dimensioning

  3. “Half” sections show the interior of an object where the Cutting Plane has penetrated only half way through the object. NOTE: The cutting plane line may only have one arrow on it. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Week 7: Dimensioning

  4. “Revolved” section views. “Removed” section views. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Week 7: Dimensioning

  5. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication “Offset” section views. “Assembled” section views. Week 7: Dimensioning

  6. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Drawing styles may sometimes be combined with one another. Here we see an auxiliary and section view combined. Week 7: Dimensioning

  7. Examples of sectioning conventions... TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Week 7: Dimensioning …more examples…

  8. …More examples of sectioning conventions. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Week 7: Dimensioning

  9. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Let’s now take a look at how dimensions are used to help describe the object we want to manufacture….. Week 7: Dimensioning

  10. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Measurement is used to tell us: * How tall? * How heavy? * How many? * How much? Week 7: Dimensioning

  11. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Standards of Measurement: 1. Inch System 2. Metric (ISO) 3. Military (diverse) 4. Associations (also diverse) Week 7: Dimensioning

  12. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Dimensions are applied to objects in a variety of styles: 1. Chain i. Aligned ii. Unidirectional 2. Tabular 3. Coordinate/Baseline 4. Ordinate Week 7: Dimensioning

  13. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Dimension elements…. Week 7: Dimensioning

  14. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Dimensions are used to show an object’s: 1. Overall: Width Depth Height 2. The actual size of features (rounds, fillets, holes, arcs, etc.) Week 7: Dimensioning

  15. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 3. And where features are located such as centers, angles, etc. Week 7: Dimensioning

  16. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication The proper placement of dimensions is critical to ensure that the part can be read and manufactured to specifications. Here are some practices that need to be followed when applying dimensions to an object: Week 7: Dimensioning

  17. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 1. Dimensions should be stacked in a “broken chain” format to aid in the readability of the plate. “Breaking the Chain” refers to leaving out one dimension as shown above so that manufacturing tolerances are maintained. Week 7: Dimensioning

  18. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Stacked dimensions that show position and size. Week 7: Dimensioning

  19. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 2. Do not place dimensions directly on the object unless it is unavoidable. Week 7: Dimensioning

  20. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication As a general rule…Stay off the object as much as possible. Week 7: Dimensioning

  21. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 3. Extension lines can be shared and even broken to clarify crowded dimensions. Week 7: Dimensioning

  22. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 4. Some features are dimensioned from their center lines. The center line may also be used as an extension line. Week 7: Dimensioning

  23. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Dimensions may be laid out in different configurations.Unidirectional dimensioning is the current standard in most industrial applications today. 5. Week 7: Dimensioning

  24. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 6. Leaders with dimensions are used to show negative cylinders (holes). The leader should always be placed to penetrate the center of all round features. Week 7: Dimensioning

  25. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Features such as counterbores, countersinks and spot faces are all dimensioned using a leader.Note: Each of these features has a special dimensioning symbol that can be used to show: a. Diameter b. Shape c. Depth Week 7: Dimensioning

  26. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Here we see several examples where notes are used instead of symbols to dimension features. Notes that describe a specific feature are known as “local notes”. “General notes” are used to describe a characteristic that effects the entire part, i. e. materials, production instructions, etc. Week 7: Dimensioning

  27. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Arcs are always dimensioned as a radius. Full circles are dimensioned showing their diameter value. 7. Week 7: Dimensioning

  28. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication When dimensioning a part, always start with the inner-most dimensions and work to the outer-most values.Remember:Dimensions are used to show both the size and location of features. 8. Week 7: Dimensioning

  29. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Always dimension features and not lines…..and remember….NEVER, NEVER, NEVER dimension to hidden lines! 9. Week 7: Dimensioning

  30. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication Here are some rules (See Table. 15.1) on how to dimension properly: 1. The overall Width, Height, and Depth must be shown on the object. 2. Each feature should be dimensioned in the view where it appears true shape and size. Never dimension a feature where it appears only as a line. 3. NEVER dimension to hidden lines!!! Week 7: Dimensioning

  31. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 4. The measurement standards must be maintained and clearly noted on the print. 5. Dimension lines should never cross. 6. Leaders must point at an angle that allows them to penetrate the centre of the object which they are describing. 7. Chains MUST be broken to allow for tolerance variation in the part. Week 7: Dimensioning

  32. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 8. Dimensions should be placed to allow order to the print and promote ease of reading. 9. Negative cylinders (holes) must always be measured by their diameter. 10. Arcs are always shown by specifying a radius value. 11. When laying out centres, specify one common reference point for the X and Y axes. Week 7: Dimensioning

  33. TECH 104 – Technical Graphics Communication 12. Dual dimensions may be used, but they must be consistent and clearly noted. 13. Angles may be dimensioned by showing their degree(s), or their 3 point location. 14. Only dimension each feature once!!! Week 7: Dimensioning
