Week 6 Orthographic Views modelling and drawing exercises



P6.1

In this exercise we were introduced to creating our own AS1100 drawing template from scratch.
To create our own drawing Template we find the Standard Sheet Formats in Solidwork. File>>New>>Templates>>Drawing. In the pop-up window we make sure the 'Only show standard formats' is selected. Chose the size paper( in this case it is A3(ISO)). The standard sheet format given can be changed or edited by right clicking on the drawing plane and scroll down to Edit Sheet Format. Here you are able to change and add notations where needed and images of company logo. To ensure the sheet is in the current AS1100 drawing standard and is in Third Angle (Right click on Sheet1 in the feature manager >> Type of Projection>>Properties>>Third Angle. Once I was done with editing my sheet template, I right click on the drawing plane and select 'edit sheet format'. I Saved this drawing as my template for use in future drawings. Do this by going to File>>Save Sheet Format. Name your drawing sheet as yoursurname_yourfirstname A3 Template. Here is my drawing template.

In the following exercises for this week we were given a few solid models to put into drawings. By using our template created we are able to model them. These exercises introduced us to inserting orthographic views and experimenting which views can be used to show all or the most important information.
