Engineering drawing and CAD
Across
- 3. A CAD feature that rounds off the edges or corners of a part.
- 4. A view looking directly down on an object, usually used to represent the layout of a building or mechanical part. It shows the horizontal plane of the object.
- 7. The basic drawing created in CAD software, consisting of lines, shapes, and curves that define the geometry of a part.
- 10. A method of drawing a 3D object where the three axes (height, width, and depth) are equally foreshortened, typically drawn at 30° angles from the horizontal. It provides a clear view of the object’s structure without distortion.
- 11. A CAD operation that extends a 2D sketch into a 3D object by adding depth.
- 12. The process of adding measurements to a drawing to specify the size, location, and geometry of a part.
- 13. A CAD feature that cuts away the edge or corner of a part at an angle, typically to remove sharp edges.
- 15. A type of drawing where the front face of the object is shown in true size and shape, and the other faces are drawn at an angle (usually 45°) to give a sense of depth. It is simpler to draw than isometric but can appear less realistic.
Down
- 1. Rules applied to a sketch in CAD to control the size, shape, and position of geometry, ensuring it behaves predictably.
- 2. A CAD operation that creates a 3D object by rotating a 2D sketch around an axis.
- 5. A flat, rigid surface used as a base for drawing, usually equipped with clips or a parallel motion ruler to help keep the paper steady and ensure straight lines.
- 6. A triangular tool used in technical drawing to draw precise angles, commonly 90°, 45°, 30°, and 60°. It’s essential for ensuring accuracy in orthographic projections and other geometric constructions.
- 8. A drawing method that represents objects as they appear to the eye, with parallel lines converging towards a vanishing point, making distant parts of the object look smaller. This technique creates a realistic 3D effect on a 2D surface.
- 9. A view that represents one side of an object or building, typically used in architectural drawings to show the exterior or interior façade.
- 14. A CAD file where multiple parts are brought together to form a complete product, allowing for the simulation of movement and interaction between parts.
