engineering drawing - Answers used to communicate designs to others, document design
solutions, and communicate design production info
working drawings/production drawings - Answers communicates the final design for production
purposes
documenting - Answers the process for communicating and archiving design and manufacturing
information on a product or structure (ex. drawings, models, change orders, memos, and
reports)
reprographics - Answers part of the documentation process that includes storing, retrieving, and
copying engineering drawings
archiving - Answers part of reprographics and involves the storage and retrieval aspects of that
process
working drawing - Answers the complete set of standardized drawings specifying the
manufacture and assembly of a product based on its design
The complexity of the design determines the number and type of - Answers drawing.
Working drawings may be on more than one sheet and - Answers may contain specifications.
specifications - Answers written instructions
Working drawings are the blueprints used for - Answers manufacturing products.
The set of drawings must: - Answers a) completely describe the parts both visually and
dimensionally
b) show the parts in assembly
c) identify all the parts
d) specify standard parts
The graphics and text information must be sufficiently complete and accurate to - Answers
manufacture and assemble the product with out error.
Generally, a complete set of working drawings for an assembly includes: - Answers 1) detail
drawings of each nonstandard part
, 2) an assembly or subassembly drawing showing all the standard and nonstandard parts in a
single drawing
3) A bill of materials (BOM)
4) A title block
detail drawwing - Answers a dimensioned, multiview drawing of a single part, describing the
part's shape, size, material, and finish, in sufficient detail for the part to be manufactured based
on the drawing alone
Engineering drawings are used as - Answers a communications tool.
Detail drawings are - Answers produced from design sketches or extracted from 3D computer
models; they adhere strictly to ANSI standards, and the standards for the specific companies for
lettering, dimensioning, assigning part numbers, notes, tolerances, etc.
In an assembly, standard parts such as threaded fasteners, bushings, and bearings are not
drawn as details, but are - Answers shown in the assembly view because these parts are
normally purchased, not manufactured, for the assembly.
Multiple details on a sheet are usually drawn at the same scale. If different scales are used, they
are - Answers clearly marked on a sheet.
When more than one detail is placed on a sheet, the spacing between details is carefully
planned, including - Answers leaving sufficient room for dimension and notes.
assembly drawings - Answers shows how each part of a design is put together
subassembly - Answers the design is depicted as only part of the total assembly
An assembly drawing normally consists of: - Answers 1) All the parts, drawn in their operating
position
2) A parts list or bill of materials (BOM)
3) Leader lines assigning each part a detail number
4) Machining and assembly operations and critical dimensions related to these functions
parts list/Bill of Materials (BOM) - Answers shows the detail number fore each part, the quantity
needed for a single assembly, the description or name of the part, the catalog number if it is a
standard part, and the company part number
detail number - Answers viewing in sequential order in balloons attached to the part. The
number correlates with the numbers on the parts list.
