Unit 10: Using Computer Aided Drawing Techniques in Engineering - BTEC Level 2 Diploma In Engineering

Assessment - CAD Drawing Using an Orthographic Projection Method

Part 1 Achieve the following UsingCAD system:

• Show how you would start up and set up the environment of the CAD system(units, toolbars, and paper size).
• Produce a standard drawing template for an engineering drawing (border, title block and logo)as shown in lectures.
• Create a folder for information storage and retrieval with name "Mechparts" and save the template in it.
• Show the steps you would take to close down the CAD system appropriately.

P1 Start up a CAD system, produce and save a standard drawing template and close down CAD hardware and software in the appropriate manner.

P7 Set up a suitable electronic folder for the storage and retrieval of information.

Part 2 According to the component shown below,produce the following, taking in consideration the showing of print screens and diagrams in the report/s:

• Construct the third angle orthographic projections of the component showing the front, side and top views.
• Write a report showing the steps of storing, retrieving and printing / plotting CAD-generated or modified drawings correctly.
• Print off a copy of a diagram.
* Dimensions and hidden details should be shown.

P2 Produce an accurate CAD drawing using an orthographic projection methoiv.

P8 Store, retrieve, print and plot CAD drawings correctly.

Part 3 Construct the first angle orthographic projections for the component shown below, taking in consideration that you have 25 minutesto accomplish the drawings, the print screens should show the steps with timesincludingthe starting-up and finishing times.

* Dimensions and hidden details should be shown.

D2 Produce detailed and accurate drawings independently and within agreed timescales.
