Introduction

[Figure 1]
Fig. 1. The completed drawing of the van


In Pro/DESKTOP designs are three dimensional representations on a two dimensional screen. A working drawing can be created directly from the design. In this module the drawing facilities are used to create a drawing, in 1st. angle projection,. The drawing can be annotated with notes, dimensions and tolerances.

Outcomes
At the end of this module you will understand the following features of Pro/DESKTOP:
  • how to create a drawing in 1st. angle orthographic projection from a design;
  • how to scale a drawing to fit a given size of paper;
  • how to add a modelling view;
  • how to add a projected view;
  • how to add dimensions;
  • how to add annotations;

Familiarity with 1st. and 3rd. angle orthographic projection is assumed. Throughout this activity 1st. angle projection is used.

A file called FirstAngle.cvp [10kb] is available to support this Module.


A note on paper sizes


The guidance for this activity assumes printing will be on A4 paper. Adjustments to the scale of the drawing will be necessary to take advantage of any additional space available on a larger printer or plotter.
