PLTW-Notebook day 13

Today we are learning about the dimension standards when sketching.  We had to create our 3-D sketches then had to export them into the drawing tab.  That is what we did for lesson 7.1.  For Lesson 7.2 we did more dimensioning and 3-D modeling as well as 7.1.


7.1





1.      Why is it important to have your drawing dimensioned completely?
You want it completely dimensioned so you are able to create the item without having to calculate. 



2.      What is the difference between size dimensions and location dimensions?
 Size dimensions will tell you the hight, width, and the length but location dimensions show you the dimensions from different perspectives.


3.      What is the difference between chain dimensioning and datum dimensioning? Which method generally results in smaller dimensional deviation in manufactured parts?
 Chain dimensioning is done linked and longer than datum dimensioning which usuallly is just a better perspective of seeing diameters and radius with datum dmensioning



4.      What are the similarities and differences between communicating about an object or product part through a dimensioned drawing and through a written description?
Dimension drawing gives you more of a representation of a shapes diameter, length, and maybe width.  While a written description is longer and must be read more carefully than the dimensioned drawing.
7.2





1.      What do the arrows on a cutting plane line indicate?
 Arrows on a cutting plane indicate where you are able to split the item in half to put a plane or maybe to even mirror an object.


2.      What is the difference between a half and a full section?
 A full section is able to have a full section view of the object.  Half section you are only able to view half of the section view of an object.


3.      Are hidden lines shown in a section view?
 Yes hidden lines must be shown if their are cuts or extrusions in the object.


4.      What conventions are associated with section lines?
Section lining is always bound by visible lines that are associated with section lines.
