GPIUTMD - Engineering Drawing II

Redistribution and use of the material in this page, with or without modification, are not permitted.

An engineering drawing, a type of technical drawing, is used to fully and clearly define requirements for engineered items.

Engineering drawing (the activity) produces engineering drawings (the documents). More than just the drawing of pictures, it is also a language; a graphical language that communicates ideas and information from one mind to another. Most especially, it communicates all needed information from the engineer who designed a part to the workers who will make it.

Drawings convey the following critical information:

Geometry - the shape of the object; represented as views; how the object will look when it is viewed from various angles, such as front, top, side, etc.
Dimensions - the size of the object is captured in accepted units.
tolerances - the allowable variations for each dimension.
Material - represents what the item is made of.
Finish - specifies the surface quality of the item, functional or cosmetic. For example, a mass-marketed product usually requires a much higher surface quality than, say, a component that goes inside industrial machinery.

This course is mainly devided to two parts. The First part is an Introduction and Review to CATIA software.

Part I - CATIA Tutorials

Session 01 - Introduction to Engineering Drawing 2 and A Review on Sketcher Commands (pdf-1, pdf-2)
