English Activity #4: Mechanical Drawing Tutorial - Three-Dimensional Shape Description

When you know mechanical drawing, the next step is to learn how to put ideas on paper. At first we only have the sketch or measurements of a part, and we need to get its views and dimensions. The planes are perpendicular. We will start projecting the figure to be able to draw its projection planes and dimensions, we create vertical projection lines on our figure to get our top view and project horizontal lines to get the front view. By creating the parallel lines and by opening the planes, we can see how the views are connected to each other in the same way that we project horizontal lines to create the views, you need to make some projection lines from side view to front view, and when we open the views we can see how the upper one is connected to the front and this connects to side view; These are the three planes that we will put on paper. From here we will follow the measurements and the specifications of the sketch to start drawing the views. We have to make a hole in the center of the side flat. And finally, in this same place, we must make a division of four squares, and then we make curves connecting points to create two circles. We have to highlight the lines when the views are over. Remember than the views have to be clear, accurate and easy to read.

Glossary:

• Sketch: Boceto
• Measurements: Medidas
• Hole: Agujero
• Flat: Plano
• Same: Mismo
• Highlight: Destacar

Sentences:

• The sketch is the base of our work
• We must be sure that the measurements are accurate so that the figure comes out well
• I must have the measurements before I make the hole
• the flats for the representation of parts or parts of machines
• In the same place a division must be made
• It is very important to highlight the views so that everything is clear and understandable
