In the British Standards, engineering drawings must be consistent and meet the standards by all manufacturers. This will allow a coordinated system and will prevent confusion and misinterpretation during the manufacturing process.
For example, within an engineering company, architect drawings should be clear and simple to understand. This will save the company valuable time and likewise reduce the costs in the reproduction of the misinterpreted final product as it would not be fit for purpose.
It is very important to work to recognised standards when producing engineering drawings because manufacturers around the world need to be able to relate and interpret the engineering drawing. For example, if someone did not include recognised measurements

The print size and line thickness of the layout is specified in the relevant standard. This is of great importance when producing CAD drawings as lines may appear differently on a monitor as they do printed. On CAD drawings, font sizes must also be looked at if specified as they may appear larger or smaller than anticipated when printed. Some standards do not permit the use of coloured lines or sections to indicate details on the drawing as these details may be difficult to understand and can be lost in various handing processes such as photocopying. This can result in drawings being interpreted incorrectly. Therefore, this will cost the company in printing and photocopying …show more content…
This drawing is portrayed in a first angle projection. This drawing is used to convey the measurements, tolerances and sections effectively to the intended audience e.g. manufacturer for the product to be produced.
One way this drawing is able to communicate effectively is because it cooperates with the British Standards. For example, isometric drawings where all horizontal lines have to be drawn at 30° and drawn at a 1:1 scale. The drawing has a border with boxes at the bottom which states the owner of the drawing; the date it was drawn; the title; the drawing number; the scale that it is drawn to and the projection of the drawing. Also, dimensions are used to represent the diameter of the stepped shaft. This means that manufacturers around the world will be able to interpret the drawing.
Engineering drawings is a graphical language that communicates all needed information and ideas from the engineer who designed a part to the workers who will make it. Therefore the intended audience which includes engineers, technicians, draftsmen, inspectors, etc. use these drawings to communicate with each
Terrance Hayes “How to Be Drawn” gives his perceptions in on race, culture, family, art, and issues that he had experienced in his life in three parts of the book. Hayes not only describes the struggles of racism for African American men, but he also talks about how we all as one view ourselves and how we believe others view us. The themes that were mostly discussed in this book was race and self. The author tells his story in his poems about the struggles of him being invisible and visible as an African American. There is a great amount of questions that are being asked about how we understand things? How we process memories? Hayes was incredibly creative when creating this book of poems by showing inventive ways to tell his stories by showing
A discussion of the overall building layout – It was explained that the building size currently shown on the drawings is set per the equipment shown within. If bidders were to provide different equipment, the building size may increase or decrease accordingly.
Adopting the latest technology helps firms to gain advantage in the competitive environment. It is important to adopt new tools in order to improve the quality of work and reduce the risks associated with the work. Implementation of a new process or a tool is often cumbersome for the companies but with proper planning and resources in hand and the zeal to accept innovation, companies grow technically and technologically. In the AEC field, we saw many firms still hand drafting 20 or more years after CAD became the new drafting standard in the mid-1980s. The pressure to switch often came from colleagues and collaborators and became necessary as firms using CAD no longer found it viable to work with firms still hand-drafting (Epstein, 2012). Similar is the case today where the incorporation of BIM is becoming popular amongst the organizations. In order to stay afloat, companies must implement the use of BIM.
The Oxford Dictionary defines drawing as to, “produce (a picture or diagram) by making lines and marks on paper with a pencil, pen, etc.” The boundaries of this traditional definition of drawing, however have begun to be pushed by conceptual artists who look rather to see drawing in the way that Henri Matisse did, as: “the precision of thought,” thus expanding the definition of drawing to encompass unconventional drawings that may be three-dimensional or created on surfaces other than paper with marks being made in mediums that range from carbon smoke, to wire and thread. This added element of alternativeness can have a variety of effects on the way the work is perceived and interpreted by the viewer – in the case of Walter Oltmann - one being the heightening of the concept portrayed by the work. This element of his works is what has inspired me to push the boundaries of drawing in my own work.
...thin this painting is appealing to the eye. With regards to linear perspective, this painting has a diagonal in which the figures line up and converge to one point.
Areas of the following shapes were investigated: square, rectangle, kite, parallelogram, equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, isosceles triangle, right-angled triangle, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon and octagon. Results The results of the analysis are shown in Table 1 and Fig 1. Table 1 showing the areas for the different shapes formed by using the
Each section will be accompanied by a series of sketch designs showing installation methods and locations within the building.
Drawing has a vast variety of descriptions as to what they thought drawing was it seems that there are three common usages ; drawing as an art form, as a tool for communication or as part of the design process (Mendelowitz, 1980) clarifies this when he stated
The CAD software is also a great program because it is also used for geometric modelling, engineering analysis, design review and optimisation and automated drafting. Computer aided design (CAD) is widely used in the watches and clocks industries to improve speed, accuracy and efficiency in the production process and reduce time and cost in product design. In particular, the use of 3-Dimensional
In this experiment, Filippo used a mirror to approximate the outline of the building he wanted to draw. From this, he is able to get the vanishing point of the diagram and a series of orthogonal which would enable him acquire a clear image of the building. With these tools, he would then use the knowledge of linear perspective to come up with the actual image. Before 1415, most artistic works were in two dimensions and as such lacked the perspective of depth.
Every single program will be able to create a virtual diagram and outline of the concept being implemented on the printer. Then the program divides the concept into digital ...
The construction phase would not be possible without the knowledge of basic geometry. Points, lines, measurements and angles are often used to lay out the building in accordance to the architect drawings.
Hence, at this stage it is to explore and experiments with models, dummies and storyboards so that we can portray a glimpse of how the design will look like in reality, not to mention this method also can be used to convey ideas so that they can be understood in this context.
...he organization. The output of the design group’s efforts is detailed drawing and other specifications, which assist the succeeding groups for effective usage of the raw materials into a finished product. This information is also important for the product
The generally accepted role and work of an architect is to strive to satisfy the aspirations of a client for building projects employing design and aesthetic principles to meet all functional, financial and technical requirements; that
