Drawing Dimensions

"A valuable addition to any artist's library, this rich resource offers a practical, comprehensive, and historically and visually inclusive introduction to drawing dimensions. It provides an extensive background of ideas, materials, exercises, exemplars and questions, and includes many innovative and provocative ways of looking at the subject to stimulate individual progress. Containing a virtual treasury of illustrations, it presents a global selection of varied conceptual and perceptional works in many materials and styles - from familiar masterworks to current exemplars, and from student works, featuring those of Josef Albers in the '50's to contemporary students at Cooper Union." Formats material into eight sections composed of discrete "restructurable" units which may be combined (or omitted) to suit individual needs. Presents examples from many historical periods, and contains drawings that emphasize a diverse population of both Eastern and Western artists. Its extensive illustration program features Renaissance, Impressionist, Post Impressionist, Cubists, Pop, Optical and other artists, plus a wealth of striking drawings of lesser known and contemporary artists. Breaks new ground with its focus on perceptual basics, and offers a detailed summary of anatomy, with a full 3-unit treatment of skeletal and muscular structure. Also includes a complete overview of traditional tools and materials, as well as suggestions for innovative techniques and alternative mark-making equipment.

This introduction to descriptive geometry and contemporary drafting guides the student through the essential principles to create engineering drawings that comply with international standards of technical product specification. This heavily updated new edition now applies to CAD as well as conventional drawing. Extensive new coverage is given of: • International drafting conventions • Methods of spatial visualisation such as multi-view projection • Types of views • Dimensioning • Dimensional and geometric tolerancing • Representation of workpiece and machine elements • Assembly drawings Comprehensible illustrations and clear explanations help the reader master drafting and layout concepts for creating professional engineering drawings. The book provides a large number of exercises for each main topic. This edition covers updated material and reflects the latest ISO standards. It is ideal for undergraduates in engineering or product design, students of vocational courses in engineering communication and technology students covering the transition of product specification from design to production.

This sourcebook provides a thorough explanation of ASME Y 14.5, the geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standard which is used primarily to communicate engineering configurations from the designer to the manufacturer. Heavily illustrated with engineering configurations, this book includes practical examples to assess individual knowledge as well as exercises based on the Frequency Asked Questions gathered over the authors' 26 years as an educator.

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to identify drawing requirements, preparing engineering drawings and an engineering parts list, and issuing the drawings. Drawings include 2-D drawings to Australian Standard (AS) 1100.101-1992 Technical drawing - General principles. This unit is suitable for those working within a drafting work environment where most specifications required for the drawing are already determined. Specifications may be obtained from design information, customer requirements, sketches and preliminary layouts. Drawings will usually be carried out with the use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems but may also be done manually. Drawings are produced to AS 1100.101-1992 Technical drawing - General principles, from predetermined critical dimensions and specifications. A CD with exercise templates is available by contacting [email protected] for $10 plus postage.

• Uses concise, individual, step-by-step tutorials • Covers the most important advanced features, commands, and functions of Creo Parametric • Explains not only how but also why commands are used • Contains an ongoing project throughout the book • This edition contains new tutorials covering advanced notations in 3D and Model Based Definition The purpose of Creo Parametric 8.0 Advanced Tutorial is to introduce you to some of the more advanced features, commands, and functions in Creo Parametric. Each lesson concentrates on a few of the major topics and the text attempts to explain the “why’s” of the commands in addition to a concise step-by-step description of new command sequences. This book is suitable for a second course in Creo Parametric and for users who understand the features already covered in Roger Toogood’s Creo Parametric Tutorial. The style and approach of the previous tutorial have been maintained from the previous book and the text picks up right where the last tutorial left off. The material covered in this tutorial represents an overview of what is felt to be the most commonly used and important functions. These include customization of the working environment, advanced feature creation (sweeps, round sets, draft and tweaks, UDFs, patterns and family tables), layers, Pro/PROGRAM, and advanced drawing and assembly functions. Creo Parametric 8.0 Advanced Tutorial consists of eight lessons. A continuing theme throughout the lessons is the creation of parts for a medium-sized modeling project. The project consists of a small three-wheeled utility cart. Project parts are given at the end of each lesson that utilize functions presented earlier in that lesson. Final assembly is performed in the last lesson. Table of Contents 1. User Customization and Multibody Modeling 2. Helical Sweeps and Variable Section Sweeps 3. Advanced Rounds, Drafts and Tweaks 4.
