CAD Library What is a CAD library? Advantages Reliable representations of everyday symbols which meet required standards (e.g. British Standards) and can be understood by a large number of people Saves time as you don t have to draw the symbols every time you need to use one Reduces the chances of making mistakes when adding symbols to drawings
Colour Theory P143 Colour wheel Primary Secondary Tertiary Warm and Cool Advancing and Receding Harmonising and Contrasting Tints and Shades Colours and moods
2D CAD Commands Copy Mirror Trim Hatching Array Chamfer Fillet Zoom Scale Circle Line Ellipse Rectangle Arc
3D CAD Commands Fillet Chamfer Extrude Extrude (cut) Revolve Shell
British Standards 3rd Angle Projection Symbol Scale Dimensioning Horizontal Vertical Radius Diameter Parallel dimensioning Chain dimensioning
British Standards (Cont.) Line types Continuous thick (outline) Continuous thin (construction) Dashed thin (hidden) Chain thin (centre lines) Chain thin double dash (fold) Chain thin thick at both ends (cutting plane/section)
Pictorial (3D) Views Isometric Oblique One Point Perspective Two Point Perspective Be able to identify pictorial views Know the angles used
