• You will do it all in Lab this week

Design
• What is design?
– PROCESS OF CONCEIVING OR INVENTING
IDEAS – Start w/ brainstorming for this lab
• The Art of Design
– DESIGN FOR FUNCTION AND PURPOSE
• The Practice of Engineering Design
– PRODUCT DESIGN

Isometric Sketching
– Example & Ellipses
Goals
• A process for creating isometric drawings
• A process for sketching ellipses for isometric
drawings
Reference
• BTG Chapter 5

Darken Final Lines

Isometric ellipses
• In an isometric drawing, the object is viewed at

an angle, which makes circles appear as ellipses.
• Holes
• Cylinders

Ellipses can be in any plane

Sketching an Isometric of a Hollow Pipe

Step 1 - Creating the Base Box
Diameter
Diameter Length

Step 2 – Ellipse on Front Face

- corner to corner to get center
- lines to tangent points
Tangent Points
Lines to Tangent
Points

Step 3 – Ellipse on Front Face

Sketch in Arcs
Tangent Points

Step 4 – Ellipse on Back Face

Repeat for ellipse on rear face and Profile
Draw Tangent Lines for Profile

Step 5 – Ellipse for Hole on

Front Face
Create Box for Hole
Sketch Ellipse

Isometric of Hollow Pipe

Defining Hidden and Center Lines
• Hidden Line – used to represent features that

cannot be seen in the current view
• Centerlines – used to represent symmetry and to

mark the center of circles and the axes of
cylinders, and the axes of symmetrical parts,
such as cylinders and bolts

Example
Center Line
Hidden Line Visible Line

Precedence of Lines
VISIBLE LINE takes precedence
over all other lines
HIDDEN LINE and CUTTING PLANE

LINE take precedence over center
lines
CENTER LINE does not have

precedence

Example Application of Precedence

Engineering Drawings
• Drawing
• Borderline and Title Block
– Borderline – Space outside left blank so details
are not lost if the edge of the drawing is torn
– Title Block – Information about who did the
drawing, when it was done, where it was saved

AutoCAD 2002
• A 2D drawing and 3D modeling package
• Will learn to use the software through a variety of

guided exercises and homework assignments
• Today's Lesson
– Geometric Construction Basics

today

AutoCAD Title Block

• For each drawing that you turn in, you will need to insert a
title block
• STEPS
– Complete the drawing
– Go to Layout 1
• Click OK when the window pops up
– Use the Insert Command [INSERT]
• Select the file “TITLE BLOCK”
• Select Explode the Title Block (so you can edit)
– Use the Edit Command to change the text [ED]

AutoCAD 2002 – Lesson 2
• Work through the lesson at your own pace

• Ask questions as they come up
• Once the Guide Plate is drawn and has a Title
Block, print it and turn it in.
• Draw Exercise 2 – this will be Drawing 7
• Think about what you are doing while you follow
the steps.
• Goal - be able to draw without the book!!

Assignments
• Dwg 7 – Lesson 2, Exercise 2 (page 2-23)

– Save as MOUNT BLOCK
– Due at end of class today
• Dwg 8 – G15
– Sketch a pictorial view of each object
– Due at the beginning of the next lecture
