Objectives:

Identify reasons for using drawings and blueprints
Recognize an assembly drawing and its components
Identify the parts of a Title Block
Identify the Parts List and its components
Recognize the different types of notes and their purpose
Recognize a detail drawing and its components

Lines Used in Mechanical Print Reading

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of assembly and detail is recommended

Description:

This is the second lesson in the iKNOW™ Mechanical Print Reading Library. This lesson explains the types of lines used in mechanical print reading and what they represent.

Objectives:

Identify visible lines and hidden lines and what they represent
Describe three uses for phantom lines
Describe three different break lines and their function
Recognize center lines
Recognize dimension lines
Recognize cutting plane lines
Recognize extension lines
Recognize section lines
Recognize leader lines

Dimensions in Mechanical Print Reading

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of assembly and detail drawings and lines is recommended.

Description:

This is the third lesson in the iKNOW™ Mechanical Print Reading Library. This lesson explains the use of dimension and extension lines in mechanical print reading, and how to calculate dimensions, tolerance, and limits. The use of surface finish designations is also discussed.

Objectives:

Recognize and define dimension lines
Recognize and define extension lines
Identify and measure dimensions on circular features
Use calculated dimensions
Demonstrate how calculated dimensions are used and why

Define and calculate limits
Differentiate types of surface finish designations

Orthographic Projection

Prerequisites:

Knowledge of assembly and detail drawings, lines, and dimensions is recommended.

Description:

This is the final lesson in the iKNOW™ Mechanical Print Reading Library. This lesson trains participants in the use of orthographic projections in mechanical print reading. Pictorial drawings and various views used in mechanical print reading are demonstrated. The lesson also discusses aspects of sectional views, threaded fasteners, and how to identify thread designations.

Objectives:

Define an orthographic projection
Identify the purpose of an orthographic projection
Relate orthographic views to projections
Relate how first and third angle projections are used
Describe what a third angle looks like
Identify the symbol for each angle in the title block
Define the three types, characteristics, and uses of pictorial drawings: isometric, oblique and perspective
Recognize sectional views and define why sectional views are used
Identify the four types of sections
Describe three ways to represent the threads of threaded fasteners
Identify thread designations
