here.
3:23
here. So let's come back to our tutorial.
3:26
So let's come back to our tutorial.
3:26
So let's come back to our tutorial. So here
3:30
we will first switch to the tech draw
3:33
we will first switch to the tech draw
3:33
we will first switch to the tech draw workbench and here tech tool is uh
3:38
workbench and here tech tool is uh
3:38
workbench and here tech tool is uh visible but they are not active because
3:41
visible but they are not active because
3:41
visible but they are not active because we have not opened the part. Now we will
3:44
we have not opened the part. Now we will
3:44
we have not opened the part. Now we will open our previous part
3:47
open our previous part
3:47
open our previous part and uh click on the recomplete object
3:52
and uh click on the recomplete object
3:52
and uh click on the recomplete object and here is some error in our model. So
3:55
and here is some error in our model. So
3:55
and here is some error in our model. So we will uh rectify it. So
3:59
we will uh rectify it. So
3:59
we will uh rectify it. So here there is a one error. So let's fix
4:03
here there is a one error. So let's fix
4:03
here there is a one error. So let's fix it quickly.
4:12
So there should be no any error in the
4:15
So there should be no any error in the
4:15
So there should be no any error in the model before creating the drawing. And
4:17
model before creating the drawing. And
4:17
model before creating the drawing. And now here I will move this tech tool
4:21
now here I will move this tech tool
4:21
now here I will move this tech tool here. And if you see the tech draw tool,
4:25
here. And if you see the tech draw tool,
4:25
here. And if you see the tech draw tool, so first two tools we get here is a
4:28
so first two tools we get here is a
4:28
so first two tools we get here is a template. Insert default page or insert
4:31
template. Insert default page or insert
4:31
template. Insert default page or insert a template. So always use the template.
4:35
a template. So always use the template.
4:35
a template. So always use the template. Click on it. So here you will get a vast
4:38
Click on it. So here you will get a vast
4:38
Click on it. So here you will get a vast variety of drawing template. So this
4:42
variety of drawing template. So this
4:42
variety of drawing template. So this part is very small in size. So I will
4:45
part is very small in size. So I will
4:45
part is very small in size. So I will use the A4 portrait.
4:51
Let's go with advance.
4:55
Let's go with advance.
4:55
Let's go with advance. And now
4:57
And now
4:57
And now here
5:00
we will uh place our drawing view.
5:04
we will uh place our drawing view.
5:04
we will uh place our drawing view. So
5:06
So
5:06
So I will go to the model tab. Select the
5:08
I will go to the model tab. Select the
5:08
I will go to the model tab. Select the body and here you will get a option of
5:12
body and here you will get a option of
5:12
body and here you will get a option of insert view.
5:14
insert view.
5:14
insert view. So here is my first view is inserted and
5:17
So here is my first view is inserted and
5:17
So here is my first view is inserted and now I also require a side view. So I
5:20
now I also require a side view. So I
5:20
now I also require a side view. So I will use a side view and the top view.
5:24
will use a side view and the top view.
5:24
will use a side view and the top view. Here is a first angle of projection. I
5:27
Here is a first angle of projection. I
5:27
Here is a first angle of projection. I will go with the third angle.
5:34
And now I will inactive this view.
5:38
And now I will inactive this view.
5:38
And now I will inactive this view. So here if you see
5:44
the views are very large so that it
5:47
the views are very large so that it
5:47
the views are very large so that it should be fit on the sheet. So scale
5:51
should be fit on the sheet. So scale
5:51
should be fit on the sheet. So scale type I will choose the page type and say
5:55
type I will choose the page type and say
5:55
type I will choose the page type and say okay. Now click on the page and here you
6:00
okay. Now click on the page and here you
6:00
okay. Now click on the page and here you will get option of a scale. So let's go
6:03
will get option of a scale. So let's go
6:03
will get option of a scale. So let's go with the 0.5.
6:06
with the 0.5.
6:06
with the 0.5. in 0.5 it is not
6:09
in 0.5 it is not
6:09
in 0.5 it is not fit to this uh A4 sheet. Now put 3
6:16
or uh again go and go with a 35.
6:22
or uh again go and go with a 35.
6:22
or uh again go and go with a 35. So this seems to be good. Now I will uh
6:27
So this seems to be good. Now I will uh
6:27
So this seems to be good. Now I will uh move the view.
6:32
Now let's give the dimensions. So before
6:36
Now let's give the dimensions. So before
6:36
Now let's give the dimensions. So before giving the dimensions we will uh start
6:38
giving the dimensions we will uh start
6:38
giving the dimensions we will uh start with this front view.
6:41
with this front view.
6:41
with this front view. So here the point you are seeing is a
6:43
So here the point you are seeing is a
6:43
So here the point you are seeing is a part point
6:45
part point
6:46
part point and uh once you of the frame this point
6:49
and uh once you of the frame this point
6:49
and uh once you of the frame this point will be get hidden. So now I will first
6:52
will be get hidden. So now I will first
6:52
will be get hidden. So now I will first select it and insert a center mark and
6:56
select it and insert a center mark and
6:56
select it and insert a center mark and this is of a diameter 10. So I will
7:00
this is of a diameter 10. So I will
7:00
this is of a diameter 10. So I will simply select the smart dimension and
7:02
simply select the smart dimension and
7:02
simply select the smart dimension and give this 10 diameter and here I will uh
7:07
give this 10 diameter and here I will uh
7:07
give this 10 diameter and here I will uh select it and I will select the radius
7:10
select it and I will select the radius
7:10
select it and I will select the radius dimension.
7:13
dimension.
7:13
dimension. So radius is R25
7:18
and now let's give this 60 dimension.
7:23
and now let's give this 60 dimension.
7:23
and now let's give this 60 dimension. So 60 dimension
7:26
So 60 dimension
7:26
So 60 dimension giving is difficult. So we will use the
7:28
giving is difficult. So we will use the
7:28
giving is difficult. So we will use the part point. I will select this part
7:30
part point. I will select this part
7:30
part point. I will select this part point and this one and go here and
7:34
point and this one and go here and
7:34
point and this one and go here and insert the horizontal dimension of 16.
7:38
insert the horizontal dimension of 16.
7:38
insert the horizontal dimension of 16. Now I will select this part point and
7:40
Now I will select this part point and
7:40
Now I will select this part point and this part point
7:43
this part point
7:43
this part point and uh insert a
7:46
and uh insert a
7:46
and uh insert a 20 mm dimension. And now I will select
7:48
20 mm dimension. And now I will select
7:48
20 mm dimension. And now I will select this part point this part point
7:52
this part point this part point
7:52
this part point this part point and then give the vertical dimension of
7:55
and then give the vertical dimension of
7:55
and then give the vertical dimension of 16.
7:57
16.
7:57
16. So all the dimension of a front view is
7:59
So all the dimension of a front view is
7:59
So all the dimension of a front view is given. Now let's move to the top view.
8:02
given. Now let's move to the top view.
8:02
given. Now let's move to the top view. So first dimension I will give it this
8:03
So first dimension I will give it this
8:04
So first dimension I will give it this diameter 35. So I will select it and
8:08
diameter 35. So I will select it and
8:08
diameter 35. So I will select it and here I will
8:11
here I will
8:11
here I will give the
8:19
my mistake balloon option is got
8:21
my mistake balloon option is got
8:21
my mistake balloon option is got selected.
8:23
selected.
8:23
selected. Now
8:24
Now
8:24
Now move it. So here you have observed that
8:27
move it. So here you have observed that
8:27
move it. So here you have observed that uh that uh view get moved
8:33
uh that uh view get moved
8:33
uh that uh view get moved if you not move it. So best option is to
8:35
if you not move it. So best option is to
8:35
if you not move it. So best option is to lock the view.
8:37
lock the view.
8:38
lock the view. So let's I will move it here and I will
8:41
So let's I will move it here and I will
8:41
So let's I will move it here and I will press the lock symbol. I will also
8:46
press the lock symbol. I will also
8:46
press the lock symbol. I will also lock it.
8:48
lock it.
8:48
lock it. Now let's give the dimension. So select
8:51
Now let's give the dimension. So select
8:51
Now let's give the dimension. So select it and give the diameter
8:56
it and give the diameter
8:56
it and give the diameter 35
8:58
35
8:58
35 and this radius is of 50. This thickness
9:03
and this radius is of 50. This thickness
9:03
and this radius is of 50. This thickness is of 10 mm.
9:08
10 mm. This diameter is of 40
9:21
and this diameter is of uh 15
9:26
and this diameter is of uh 15
9:26
and this diameter is of uh 15 and total width is of 70. And now
9:34
and total width is of 70. And now
9:34
and total width is of 70. And now from this point
9:36
from this point
9:36
from this point to the center
9:40
to the center
9:40
to the center is of 65
9:43
is of 65
9:43
is of 65 and from this center
9:47
and from this center
9:47
and from this center to
9:49
to
9:49
to this center
9:51
this center
9:51
this center is of 175.
9:53
is of 175.
9:54
is of 175. Now I will off the frame.
9:58
Let's uh move this dimension to the
10:01
Let's uh move this dimension to the
10:01
Let's uh move this dimension to the nearby.
10:04
nearby.
10:04
nearby. And now
10:06
And now
10:06
And now we will insert this isometric view. And
10:10
we will insert this isometric view. And
10:10
we will insert this isometric view. And now
10:12
now
10:12
now we will switch to the model tab. Click
10:14
we will switch to the model tab. Click
10:14
we will switch to the model tab. Click on the body. And here you will see one
10:17
on the body. And here you will see one
10:17
on the body. And here you will see one camera icon.
10:19

image and say okay.
10:27
image and say okay. So here you can see that uh
10:31
So here you can see that uh
10:31
So here you can see that uh one isometric view is got inserted. Now
10:36
one isometric view is got inserted. Now
10:36
one isometric view is got inserted. Now here this
10:39
here this
10:39
here this highlighted color is not looks good. So
10:41
highlighted color is not looks good. So
10:41
highlighted color is not looks good. So we will go here
10:44
we will go here
10:44
we will go here and delete it. Now we will again go to
10:47
and delete it. Now we will again go to
10:47
and delete it. Now we will again go to the model tab and first thing we will do
10:49
the model tab and first thing we will do
10:49
the model tab and first thing we will do is to
10:54
fit it
10:59
fit all. And now in this condition
11:02
fit all. And now in this condition
11:02
fit all. And now in this condition rather than selecting the model we will
11:05
rather than selecting the model we will
11:05
rather than selecting the model we will keep as it is and again click on the
11:07
keep as it is and again click on the
11:07
keep as it is and again click on the camera icon and click on the crop image
11:10
camera icon and click on the crop image
11:10
camera icon and click on the crop image and say okay. Now we will go to the
11:13
and say okay. Now we will go to the
11:13
and say okay. Now we will go to the model tab. Now this looks more beautiful
11:17
model tab. Now this looks more beautiful
11:17
model tab. Now this looks more beautiful than previous one. And now here
11:22
than previous one. And now here
11:22
than previous one. And now here this boundary should not be overlap on
11:24
this boundary should not be overlap on
11:24
this boundary should not be overlap on each other. So I will move this front
11:28
each other. So I will move this front
11:28
each other. So I will move this front view. And here I will go to its
11:31
view. And here I will go to its
11:31
view. And here I will go to its property.
11:33
property.
11:33
property. And here width 128. Let's I will make it
11:37
And here width 128. Let's I will make it
11:37
And here width 128. Let's I will make it 80.
11:39
80.
11:39
80. In 80 it is cropping the image. So I
11:42

13:45
requirement. And you can see that uh we have a beautifully created this
13:47
have a beautifully created this
13:47
have a beautifully created this technical drawing and uh you can easily
13:51
technical drawing and uh you can easily
13:51
technical drawing and uh you can easily export it as a SVG or as a DXF or you
13:55
export it as a SVG or as a DXF or you
13:55
export it as a SVG or as a DXF or you can go here and you can also export it
13:58
can go here and you can also export it
