Lesson
8: Drawing the Switch Bracket in Ortho, Iso and 3d |
FIG. 8a
(the Switch Bracket)
| |
In lesson 8 you will be drawing a object called the
Switch bracket, an object that has its place in many
areas of machining, and machine parts and as you can
imagine with switching devices. Its function is a
bracket or mount for a switch.
This is a challenging model because multiple regions
need to be created and subtracted from one another.
There are many strategies for creating the 3d model.
Its Isometric model involves using only one ellipse.
Hidden and center lines are used in this model and
are not that complex. You should at this point understand
why hidden and center lines are used in orthographic's.
This is a challenging model in terms of drawing its
isometric view and the creation of the 3d model.
Connecting Your Learning
As you work your way through this lesson, you should
reflect on the following questions:
How did the switch bracket get its name?
What is an ellipse and how is it used in this model?
What is an Iso ellipse and how can it be rotated in
ACAD?
How will the Switch bracket model be created in 3d?

The State of Arizona has assembled Drafting
standards to make sure that Instruction is thorough
and well thought out by the instructor. By clicking
on the hyperlink below will upload to your browser window
the entirety of these standards. The standards that
are addressed in this lesson are below the hyperlink.
1.0 USE BOARD DRAFTING EQUIPMENT,
INSTRUMENTS AND MEDIA.
2.0 DEMONSTRATE SKETCHING, LETTERING,
AND LINE SKILLS.
- 2.1 Demonstrate freehand sketching skills for drafting
applications.
- 2.2 Demonstrate lettering skills.
- 2.3 Demonstrate line work.
6.0 DEMONSTRATE GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTIONS
- 6.1 Measure Geometric Constructions.
- 6.2 Develop Geometric Constructions.
8.0 APPLY BOARD DRAFTING SKILLS TO COMPUTER-AIDED
DESIGN/DRAFTING (CADD)
- 8.1 Demonstrate computer skills for a CADD system.
- 8.2 Create dimensional CADD entities.
- 8.3 Create 3 dimensional CADD drawings.
The State of Arizona has also assembled Math
standards and many of these apply directly to
the vocational subject area of Drafting. Drafting
is a very precise discipline and the use of mathematics
is integral to design and manufacturing. Below are
the math standards that are involved in this lesson
1M-P1. Compare and contrast
the real number system and its various subsystems
with
regard to their structural characteristics
-
PO 2. Compare subsets of the
real number system with regard to their properties
(commutative, associative, distributive, identity,
inverse and closure properties)
1M-P2. Construct, interpret and
demonstrate meaning for real numbers and absolute
- PO 3. Solve real-world distance problems using
absolute value
- PO 4. Determine, among the solutions to a real-world
problem, which, if any, is reasonable
- PO 2. Define absolute value as the distance from
the origin
4M-P1. Interpret and draw three-dimensional
objects
- PO 1. Sketch prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders
and spheres
- PO 2. Classify prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders
and spheres by base shape and lateral surface shape.
- PO 3. Recognize the three-dimensional figure represented
by a two-dimensional drawing.
- PO 5. Make a model of a three-dimensional figure
from a two-dimensional drawing and make a two-dimensional
representation of a three-dimensional object (models
and representations include scale drawings, perspective
drawings, blueprints or computer simulations)
4M-P4. Deduce properties of,
and relationships between, figures from given
assumptions
- PO 1. Find similarities and differences among
geometric shapes and designs using a given attribute
(e.g., height, area, perimeter, diagonals and angle
measurements)
- PO 2. Identify arcs, chords, tangents and secants
of a circle
- PO 3. State valid conclusions using given geometric
definitions, postulates and theorems
- PO 4. Represent pi as the ratio of circumference
to diameter

Lesson
Objectives
By the end of this lesson you should be
able to:
1. Draw the orthographic views of the
Switch bracket and dimension the model.
2. Identify the isometric angles used to create isometric
views (30, 90 and 150 degrees)
3. Scale down the orthographic view and create an Isometric
view.
4. Adjust the dimscale overall and linear to reflect
full scale dimensions in the ortho/iso drawing.
5. Create the 3d model of the Switch bracket from the
top orthographic view.
6. Working with colors for visualization enhancement.
7. Maintain approximate proportions using "boxing
in" also called the "Glass box Technique"
8. Create and locate the accurate use of center lines
in orthographic drawings.

The 8th model
you will be drawing is called the Switch bracket and it
is a model where all the views are necessary to illustrate
its attributes. The illustration of the Switch bracket
isometrically involves one circle, but it has several
non isometric lines and this requires creating regions
from certain parts of the orthographic models.
Insert
your Lesson 8 media disk into your CD drive and begin listening
to the avi file: lesson 8a. You can open up both software
programs: ACAD and your media player at the same time and
toggle back and forth between screens, and be able to draw
and listen simultaneously. Below is an example of what your
completed drawing should look like. Pay attention to details
so you can obtain all your points for this assignment. It
is always better to get it right the first time, especially
when you have what the finished product should look like.
The next part of Lesson 8 you will be creating the Isometric
view of the Switch bracket.This is a challenging object
to do Isometrically. This is where our talent begins to
develop in conceptualizing what this model really looks
like.
In this lesson you will be scaling your
orthographic views and adjusting the linear dimscale accordingly.
Common sense will say if a scale something to half its size
the dimension scale needs to be doubled. I will explain
this in the lesson disk titled Lesson 8b. The following
is what your completed assignment should look like when
completed.
Please Insert the Media Disk labeled Lesson
8 into your CD drive of your computer and begin listening
how to draw the 3d model of the Switch bracket. The lesson
avi is titled Lesson 8c and below is an example of a completed
accurate model of the Switch bracket. You will submit your
drawing in South East Isometric. This is what your completed
3d assignment looks like.
*Note:
The Lessons are best viewed with real player, or Windows
Media Player 9 for 2000 Professional and Version 10 for
XP.
After
completing each lesson attach your drawing to an email and
send to your Instructor's email.
