A

Limits of partial or interrupted views or sections

24
Q

What does a dashed thick line mean - - - -

A

Hidden outlines and edges

25
Q

What does a thin dashes straight line mean

A

Hidden outlines and edges

26
Q

What does chain thin lines mean — - — - — -

A

Centre lines, lines of symmetry, pitch lines and circles

27
Q

What does chain thin, thick at the ends and changes direction mean

A

Cutting planes

28
Q

What does chain thick mean

A

Lines or surfaces to which a special requirement applies

29
Q

Why do we use break lines

A

Due to the limited space on a sheet, so therefore we can produce smaller drawings

30
Q

How are drilled holes portrayed

A

A thick lined circle
Diameter may be noted as well as depth if it is a blind hole

31
Q

How do you show reamed holes

A

The reamed hole symbol with have a note differencing them from plain holes

32
Q

How do you portray threaded holes

A

With a thick circular line for the thread crest and a thin broken line for the root

33
Q

What is it meant by the surface texture

A

A measure of the smoothness of the surface finish

34
Q

What does a smaller number mean in regards to surface texture

A

The smaller the number the smoother the surface is

35
Q

In a drawing how would a designated surface texture be told to you

A

It is be stated as a number above the triangle

36
Q

What is a perspective drawing

A

Shows a drawing in the way the human eye sees it - don’t accurately show dimensions

37
Q

What is a sketch

A

A loosely structured hand drawing

38
Q

What is the principle of first angle projection

A

Each view represents the side of the object remote from its adjacent view

39
Q

What is the principle of third angle projection

A

Each view represents the side of the object nearest to it in adjacent view

40
Q

What is a sectional view

A

Shows the object drawn as if it is removed so that the interior shape can be seen clearly

41
Q

At what degree are sectional drawings drawn to the axis of the section

A

45 degrees

42
Q

What does the auxiliary view show

A

The true shape of a surface is shown by auxiliary view drawn at right angles to the surface

43
Q

What is an unilateral tolerance

A

One which permits a variation in one direction only, either above or below its basic size

44
Q

What is the blueprint system used for

A

By the engineer to communicate his idea to various people who buy the raw material,plan manufacturing, build parts or buy the final part

45
Q

What a detailed drawings or FAB

A

The detailing drawings of a single part

46
Q

What does an assembly drawing depict

A

Show the relationship between two or more parts or a group of assemblies

47
Q

What does an installation drawing show

A

Designed to describe exactly where certain parts, fixture etc are permanently affixed

48
Q

What is an exploded- view drawing

A

Show every part that is in the assembly

often IPL make use of these

49
Q

What does a schematic drawing show

A

Doesn’t show the exact image of the part but shows the principle of the operation
Ideal for trouble shooting

(Shows where objects are located in relation to each other - which way fluid would flow)

50
Q

What do electrical wiring diagrams illustrate

A

Indicate size of wire, type of terminals - used to illustrate the principle

51
Q

What ratio were aircraft drawings drawn at and why was this inconvenient

A

1:1
Because it meant that the cabinets had to be large enough to store them

52
Q

What ways did people try and improve the storage of aircraft drawings

A

Aperture cards (Photographing them - mounted onto a card)
Microfilm
CD- ROMS
CDs
DVDs - preferred option

53
Q

What does CAD stand for

A

Computer aided design

54
Q

What did CAD do for the engineering world

A

It meant that everything could be designed electronically and could be stored on electronically too.
