Metric Fasteners made easier with AutoCAD, you have the access to unlimited numbers
of conventions and symbols for different types of industries. You can insert and edit the
convention symbols as much as you want to suite the drawing.
You can log to design center from "Design Center" Command available at standard
toolbar as shown below
.
Once you click the design center bottom a file search window like the one below will
open.
Try to double the scale before inserting the Hex Nut, remember that the Hex Nut will be
inserted as an object you can not modify it before you explode it's lines
Although the drawing will not be precise after scaling, however using design library will
save you time and effort (Fig. 1).

WORKING DRAWINGS
4.1
Introduction
A working drawing is the final constructed drawing produced in the design stage. After
that the drawing would be sent to the workshop floor for production. Thus, the drawing
should be precise and drawn to an appropriate scale and it usually includes a set of the
interrelated parts and details that are needed in production stage.
4.2
Working drawings can be divided into two main types, they are, Assembly drawings and
Detail drawings.
1) Assembly drawings
A complete assembly drawing is presentation of the product or structure put together,
showing all parts in their operational positions. The parts are logically connected
according to the designer specifications. (Fig. 4)
2) Detailed drawings
A detail drawing is used to magnify and focus on individual items in more details, this to
be helpful to the shop-floor personnel in producing each part precisely, and to be in
accordance with the designers requirements. (Fig.4.1)
5) Sub-Assembly
It is a drawing of a related group of parts and usually used to show the assembly of
complicated machinery for which it would be practically impossible to show all the
features on one drawing (Fig. 4.4)

ASSEMBLY DRAWINGS
5.1
To be able to draw a complete assembly drawing Fig. (5) you should follow carefully the
below steps:
1- Study the application of the machine or structure
2- Try to match the dimensions and understand the relationship between parts
3- Study carefully the assembly guide given to identify the relationship between
parts, in case no assembly guide is given try to draw one to help you in your
assembly.
5.2
Task 2
For the below drawing, Fig. (5.1), draw a free hand sketch of the assembly guide

It is important that you follow some simple rules when producing an engineering
drawing which although may not be useful now, will be useful when working in
industry
6.1 Lay-Out of Drawing
All assembly drawings should follow a standard layout therefore interpreting and analysis
will be easier
Make your own Template follow the steps below
1- Open AutoCAD New File
2- Draw a frame according to your limits (use the size of paper you are using
often)
3- Add Title Block and Parts List table, add the information shown below
4- Now save your template using save as command, change the file type to
AutoCAD Drawing Template and then name your file ASSEMBLY
