Drawing Instruments, Materials and Standard Practices & Lettering, Dimensioning and Geometrical Construction
Set up a drawing board, T-square, set squares, scales and compasses, and demonstrate correct posture and instrument handling while ruling horizontal, vertical and 45-degree lines.
Letter uppercase IS/SP-style characters and numerals in a 7:4 height ratio to a finished size of 5 mm, keeping each stroke within a 1 mm tolerance band.
Construct perpendiculars, parallel lines and to bisect a line and an angle using compass and straightedge only, without a protractor.
Apply the standard dimensioning rules: dimension lines, extension lines, arrowheads, leader lines and the placement of aligned and unidirectional figures on a fully dimensioned practice sketch.
Your checkpoint
A single A3 sheet containing a lettering exercise, a line-work exercise and one fully dimensioned geometrical construction, submitted with a self-check list of dimensioning rules.
Lettering, Dimensioning and Geometrical Construction
Divide a line into a stated number of equal parts and construct a regular polygon with 5, 6 and 8 sides by the inscribed- and circumscribed-circle methods.
Construct tangents to a circle from an external point and draw internal and external tangent arcs between two circles of unequal radii.
Draw an ellipse by concentric-circle and rectangle methods and a parabola and hyperbola by the directrix-focus and rectangular methods.
Draw a plain scale and a diagonal scale reading to a stated least count, and mark a given distance on each.
Your checkpoint
One A3 construction sheet holding a polygon, a tangent exercise, one ellipse and one parabola, plus a diagonal scale with a correctly marked reading.
Orthographic Projection of Points, Lines and Planes
Project a point in all four quadrants and state its front view, top view and distances from the reference planes in a table.
Project a line parallel to one or both reference planes and a line inclined to one plane, determining true length and true inclination by the auxiliary-plane method.
Solve a line-inclined-to-both-planes problem and locate its traces on both the horizontal and vertical planes.
Project a plane surface inclined to one reference plane and then to both, and identify its edge view.
Your checkpoint
A problem set of eight solved projection problems (points, lines and planes) drawn to scale on A3 sheets, each with true length and inclination marked and answers tabulated.
Projection of Solids and Sections of Solids
Project prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones resting on a base edge, a corner and a generator, in the simple position and in the inclined position.
Draw the three views of each solid with visible edges continuous and hidden edges dashed, and check that the number of edges in each view agrees with the solid.
Cut a solid with a section plane parallel to the horizontal plane, perpendicular to the vertical plane and inclined to both, and draw the true shape of the section.
Project a frustum from a cut solid and mark the cut surface correctly in all views.
Your checkpoint
A portfolio of five solids (one prism, one pyramid, one cylinder, one cone, one frustum) each with three views, a sectioned view and a true-shape auxiliary view.
Development of Surfaces and Intersection of Solids
Develop the lateral surface of a prism, pyramid, cylinder and cone by the parallel-line and radial-line methods, and draw the development of a truncated cylinder and a truncated cone.
Develop a transition piece between two square ducts and between a square and a circle, using triangulation.
Locate the line of intersection of two cylinders of equal and unequal diameters by the line method and by the cutting-plane method.
Locate the intersection of a cylinder with a cone and of a prism with a prism, and transfer the points correctly to the development.
Your checkpoint
One A2 sheet with four developments (including one triangulated transition piece) and two solved intersection curves, each curve showing at least eight plotted points.
Isometric and Oblique Projections
Convert orthographic views of a simple block into an isometric view using the isometric scale and the 30-degree axes, keeping measurements along the axes only.
Draw isometric views of a cylinder, a cone and a sphere, and construct an isometric ellipse with the four-centre method.
Produce an oblique cavalier and an oblique cabinet projection of the same object and state the difference in foreshortening.
Draw an isometric view containing a non-isometric line by boxing the offsets from a reference corner.
Your checkpoint
Three finished isometric drawings from given orthographic views (one with a circular feature) plus one cavalier and one cabinet oblique of the same object.
Machine Drawing: Fasteners, Keys, Couplings and Bearings
Draw conventional representations of a hexagonal bolt and nut, a washer and a screw thread, showing the crest, root and thread conventions in both views.
Draw a square key, a parallel key and a Woodruff key in position on a shaft, and dimension the keyway.
Assemble a protected-type flange coupling from given dimensions and draw the sectional front view and the end view with hatching at 45 degrees.
Draw a solid journal bearing and a bush bearing in half section, and label the parts using a leader line and a parts list.
Your checkpoint
An A2 assembly drawing of a flange coupling (sectional front view plus end view) with a parts list and a labelled bearing drawing.
Building Drawing and Civil Engineering Drawing Basics & Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) Fundamentals
Draw a single-storey building plan to a stated scale, showing walls, openings, a door and window schedule, and the standard hatch for brickwork in section.
Draw the corresponding elevation and a sectional elevation of the same building, keeping the floor line and plinth level consistent across all three views.
Set up a CAD drawing with layers for centre lines, visible lines, hidden lines and dimensions, and draw a simple machine part using object snaps and coordinates.
Use CAD modify commands (offset, trim, mirror, array) and place a linear and a radial dimension with a plotted output at a stated scale.
Your checkpoint
A building drawing set (plan, elevation, sectional elevation) plus one CAD-drawn part exported as a plotted sheet with a layer table and dimensions.
