1.1 AUTODESK INVENTOR DOCUMENT TEMPLATES IN METRIC
There are four types of Autodesk Inventor document template in metric:
A. Part (*.ipt): this template is used to create a sketch in Autodesk Inventor part 3D or sheet metal
which is defined in Autodesk Inventor part 3D parametric. In order to create parts needed in an
assembly product. The file type (.ipt) is divided into two kinds:
1. Part (.ipt)
Standard part is used to create a standard part of the sketch, or when the parts does not need
any special treatment in its production process.
2. Sheet Metal Part (.ipt)
Sheet metal part is used for creating parts that need special treatment, especially steel. It
involves steel processing such as rolling, bending, punch, etc.
B. Assembly (*.iam): this template is used to create assembly from parts which are made previously
to create a full 3D object. The file type (.iam) is divided into two kinds:
1. Standard Assembly (.iam)
Standard Assembly is used to combine some part.
2. Weldment (.iam)
Weldment is used to combine some part using weldment process.
C. Presentation (.ipn): this template used to create presentation of assembly or animation
presentation. A presentation file for assembly file contains information as how the part of
assembly are separated with each other.
D. Drawing (*.idw): this template is used to create technical drawing 2D from parametric Inventor

1.8 SKETCHING CONSTRAINT

Sketch relations help to define a sketch entity by relating them or constraining them to other sketch
entities.
Areas in the Autodesk Inventor application that rely on sketch counstraint include using:
• Icons to display multiple sketch relations that are inferred or added
• Click View, Sketch Constraints to select or clear display of the icons. If you clear View,
• Sketch Relations, but you select a sketch entity in an open sketch, the sketch relation icons appear.
• Inferencing as you sketch to create sketch relations.
• Sketch Snaps and Quick Snaps to add relations between sketch entities.
• Orientation option in the Insert Line Property Manager to specify the relation of sketched
lines.Adding constraints after creating sketch enriries.

The document name extension for 3D part is *.ipt
Figure 2. 1 Autodesk Inventor Template
Computer-Aided Design software packages handle models in the following ways:

1. 2D Drawings
2. Wireframe models
It’s use to describe the scheme of 3D modelling. There are only dot, line, and curve that describe
each edges of 3D modelling.
3. Surface models
Surface is more sophistical then wireframe because it doesn’t only have edges but also has surfaces.
The surface contains many lines that are crossed to each other like a net. It is called “polygonal
Mesh”. Bolean operation can’t be use in this model.
4. Solids models
Solids models is the easiest ways to use in Autodesk Inventor. In solid modelling, the object will
be given a material so makes it has volume.
2.1.1 3D Model Tools

3D model tools are use to give the sketch a volume. There are many methods to build 3D modelling
in Autodesk Inventor. One of them is make 3D rule from 2D sketch. They are:

Assembly is a manufacturing process for joining part so it will become an actual finished product. In
Autodesk Inventor Document, choose Assembly file to make a 3D arrangement of component other
assemblies. Changes in the component are automatically reflected in its assembly file.
The document extension name for Assembly in Autodesk Inventor is .iam
Figure 3. 1 Create New Assembly File
NOTE: Make sure the templates is Metric and choose Standard (mm).iam
71
3.2 BEGIN ASSEMBLY
Assembly is the process to make parts become one complete object by joining them one to another
part. The first thing to do before joining parts is insert the parts that are required for assembly. There
are two ways to insert part (These tools can be found in Component panel in Assemble ribbon), they
are:
Table 3. 1 Component
Icon Icon Name Utilities
Specifies one or more to place as a component in an assembly.
Assembly components can be individual parts or subassemblies
Place that behave as a single unit. To ensure that they are available
when you open the assembly, add the paths for all components
to the project for the assembly.
This tool is used to create a component or part in the form of
a part file that can later be up as new additional part of assembly.
You select a plane on which to sketch, and set the name for the
Create
part. Parts created in plece are normal parts saved in their own
files. You can project edges from existing components to create
components in place,
3.3 NAVIGATION OF ASSEMBLY

The navigation bar floats over and along one of the sides of the window for the current model. It
contains areas for both unified and product-specific navigation tools. You click the navigation tools to
start them or select from a list that displays when you click the smaller portion of a split button.
3.3.1 Pan ( )
Planning shifts the location of the view without changing the magnification, as though you
were moving the image from side in front of a camera lens. Use the Pan command on the
Standard toolbar to move the view in the graphics window in any direction planar to the screen.
You can pan the view while other commands are active.
The followings are steps of using Pan:
Click Pan or press F2 » The cursor changes to the pan cursor » Use the arrow cursor to
drag the view in the graphic window.
You can also pan the view using the Intellimouse. Hold down the wheel button, move the
mouse in the direction you want to pan, and release the wheel button to stop panning.
3.3.2 Rotate ( )
Use the Rotate command on the Standard toolbar to rotate a part or assembly in the graphics
window. You can rotate the view while other commands are active.
The followings are steps of using Rotate :

Click Rotate on the Standard toolbar or press F4 » Drag to achieve the desired rotation »
Drag in the desired direction.
72
3.3.3 Zoom In or Zoom Out ( )
Use the Zoom command on the standard toolbar to zoom the view in the graphics window in
or out to achieve the desired scale. You can zoom the view while oher commands are active.
The followings are steps of using Zoom In or Zoom Out :

Click Zoom or press F3 » Use the arrow cursor to click and drag the view to the desired
scale. Dragging down increases view scale; dragging up decreases view scale » Realease the
mouse buoon when the image is at the required magnifacation. The zoom command remains
active until you select another command.
You can also zoom the view using an Intellimouse. Roll the wheel forward to zoom in, and
roll back to zoom out. When zooming with the wheel, Inventor View uses the cursor position
as an anchor point for the zoom. As a result, if you don’t move the cursor, rolling the mouse
forward and then back are not reciprocal actions.
3.3.4 Zoom to View All ( )

Use the Zoom All command on the Standard toolbar to zoom a part or assembly so that all
elements display in the graphics window. You can zoom a drawing so that the active sheet fit
whitin the graphics window.
NOTE : Click Zoom All to excute the zoom.
3.3.5 Zoom Views of Areas ( )

Use the Zoom Window command on the Standard toolbar to define an area of a part,
assembly, or drawing to fill the graphic window.
The following are steps of using Zoom Window :

Click Zoom Window » Click in the image to define one corner of the window » Drag in any
direction to define the rest of the window.
The image is zoomed to the area that you defined in the window.
73
3.4 GROUNDED COMPONENT
In assembly files, the parts will float so that they can be freely moved with respect to their degree of
freedom.To make the parts immovable, we must give the part a grounded effect.
The ground plane represents an up direction in model space, an provides a visual cue for model scales.
You can display reflections of your model in the ground plane, giving the view a showroom floor
effect.
Figure 3. 2 Grounded Part
The followings are the step of making the part grounded or ungrounded:
Right-click on the component » Then, there will appear the options just like Figure 3.4.1, click
Grounded » If you want to ungrounded the part, then right-click on the grounded part, click
Grounded again. The checklist then will disappear, indicating the part is Ungrounded successfully.
3.5 FREE MOVE AND FREE ROTATE

You can move and rotate a component to get a better view of its features or to analyze relationships.
One or more selected components can be moved or rotated to reposition of thr componrnts. Also,
moving under defined components which given any kind of relationship—simulates movement of a
mechanism through dynamic assenbly motion.
3.5.1 Free Move ( )
Figure 3. 3 Free Move Component
74
Free move is used to move the component so we get a better view of its features or to analyze
relationships. It is convenient but temporary. The part snaps back to its constrained or joined
position when you apply a new relationship, update or refresh the assembly.
The following are the step of using free move:

Click Free Move ( ) icon in Position panel » Click the part you want to move » Then drag
the part to the desired location.
NOTE: Free Move tool used for showing the blocked object.
3.5.2 Free Rotate ( )

The Orbit command in the Navigate panel of the View tab rotates all the assembly. If you
want to rotate one component, use the Rotate command in the Position panel on Assemble
tab. Operation of both commands are the same.
Figure 3. 4 Rotating Component
Keep the following behaviors in mind when you rotate components:

1. You can rotate a constrained component.
2. Unconstrained components remain in their rotated positions when you update the
assembly.
How to use Free Rotate an assembly component:

Click Free Rotate ( ) icon in Position panel » Click the part you want to rotate » Rotate
the part around the orbit shown.
3.6 ASSEMBLY RELATIONSHIP

To assemble the parts, we have to add some relationships or connections between one and another. As
you add relationship, you define the allowable directions of linear or rotational motion of the
components.
75
There are two types of assembly relationship that can be added to assembly process in Autodesk
Inventor 2016, they are:
3.6.1 Joint
Joint are used to create relationships between components. Points are the most commonly
used geometry in joint. As you add joint, you define the allowable directions of linear or
rotational motion of the components, you can move a component within its degrees of
freedom, visualizing the assembly’s behavior.
Joint can be created using many different objects. You can use Point in Faces, Point in
Planes, Point in Edges, and Point in Vertices. Most relationship are made between a pair of
objects.

Limits are defining the number of ranges in motion for every type of Joint, except
Rigid. Limit has two types, they are angular and linear. Angular limit adds limit in
degree of angle that allows.

3.6.2 Constraint
Assembly constraints used to remove degrees of freedom between selected components.
Adaptive components can resize or change shape when constraints are applied. The first
component always moves to the second component, even if the first component is fully
constrained. If this causes constraint errors, the Assembly Constraint Management dialog
list the conflicting constraint, so you can suppress or delete them.
You can only add constraints to one component at a time with assemble. When you finish
defining constraints for a component, select OK to create the constraints and exit the
command. When you restart Assemble, select the next component you want to create
geometric relationships, such as mate, angle, tangent, insert, and symmetry.
Table 3. 4 Constraint
Icon Utilities Illustration
Mate Before
A mate constraint positions selected component

face to face or adjacent to one another with faces
flush. The geometry you select is usually a
component face, but you can also select curves,
planes, edges, or points for a mate constraint, or
faces and planes for a flush constraint. After
➢ Mate
Constraint position selected faces normal
to one another, with faces coincident.
➢ Flush
Constraint aligns components adjacent to
one another with faces flush. Positions
selected faces, curves, or points so that
they are aligned with surface normal
pointing in the same direction
Angle Before
An angle constraint positions edges or planar faces

on two components at a specified angle to define a
pivot point. Removes one degree of freedom in
rotation or two degrees of angular rotation between
planar surfaces
➢ Directed Angle After
solution always applies the right-hand
rule. This is default solution.
79
➢ Undirected Angle
Allows either orientation, thus resolving
situations where component orientation
flips during a constraint derive or drag.
➢ Explicit Reference Vector

Explicitly defines direction of Z axis
vector (cross product) by adding a third
pick to the selection process. Reduces
tendency of angle constraint to switch to
an alternate solution during a constraint
drive or drag.
Tangent Before
A tangent constraint causes faces, lanes, cylinders,

spheres, and cones to contact at the point of
tangency. Tangency may be inside or outside a
curve, depending on the direction of the selected
surface normal. A tangent constraint removes one
degree of linear translation, or between a cylinder
After
and a plane, removes one degree of linear freedom
and one degree of rotational freedom.
➢ Inside
Positions the first selected past outside the
second selected part at the tangent point.
Outside tangency is the default solution.
➢ Outside
Positions the first selected part outside the
second selected part at the tangent point.
Outside tangency is the default solution
Insert Before
An insert constraint is a combination of a face to

face mate constraint between planar faces and a
mate constraint between the axis of the two
components. The insert constraint is used to
position a bolt shank in a hole, for example, with
the shank aligned with the hole and the bottom of
80
the bolt head mated with the planar face. A After
rotational degree of freedom remains open.
➢ Opposed reverses the mate direction of

the selected component.
➢ Aligned reverses the mated direction of

the second selected component.
Symmetry Before
The symmetry constraint positions two objects

symmetrically according to a plane or planar face.
➢ Opposed reverses the mate direction of

the selected component After
➢ Aligned reverses the mated direction of

the second selected component
a. Limit for Constraint

Similar with limits for joint, limits for Constraints also giving the limit for motion that
is happened between components, except Symmetry. It only requires the number of
maximum and minimum distance between them.
Figure 3. 5 Constraint
To show the limits option, click more ( )
81
Figure 3. 6 Limits
1) Use Offset as Resting Position

Sets the offset value as the default position of a constraint with limits for example, a
constraint with a maximum value of 50mm, a minimum if 0mm and offset of 25mm
assumes the 25mm position after a drag. Check the box to activate. Clear the check
box to deactivate.
2) Maximum
Sets the maximum extent of constraint movement. Check the box to activate. Clear
the check box to deactivate. The assigned value is retained when the check box is
cleared
3) Minimum
Sets the maximum extent of constraint movement. Check the box to activate. Clear
the check box to deactivate. The assigned value is retained when the check box is
cleared
3.6.3 Edit Assembly Constraint

You can edit the constraint type, offset, angle, selected components, and direction. If possible,
constraints are retained through editing operations some constraints do not survive and must
be reapplied.
To identify components constrained together, Click a Constraint in the browser to highlight

the affected components in the graphics window » Click to expand the component whose
constraint you want to edit » Pause the cursor over the constraint » right-click » and then
select edit to open the edit Constraint Dialog Box » Change value as needed, and then Click
OK.
NOTE: to edit only the offset or angle, highlight the constraint in the browser. Then click to open
the edit box at the bottom of the browser. Enter the new value for the constraint, and then press
Enter.

model. The pictures inserted can be in .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, .xls, .doc format. You can use decal to
apply warning or instruction labels to models.
To create decal, you can insert an image in a sketch, position it using constrains and dimensions, and
then apply it as a decal using the Decal command on the 3D Model tab. If you create the decal on a
part instead of a surface, use the Delete Face command to remove unneeded faces. The part is
automatically converted to a surface.

lights are included in the style - directional, point, and spot, as well as the Grid Light
IBL. Each has application default settings. By default, the directional, point, and spot
lights are turned off. You can turn them on by changing individual light properties.
2. Copy Lighting Style: Add a copy of the selected lighting style and its settings.
In the Lighting Styles dialog box, there are several tabs that used in creating Lighting:
Figure 4. 21 Studio Lighting Styles
a. Environment Tab: To control the room light. We can determine the Exposure,
Rotation, Scale, and Source.
b. Shadows Tab: Defines the shadows in the lighting style. We can control the type,
quality, and density of the shadows. There are also light parameters in this tab.
106
4.8.2 Camera
Camera is use to create and edit a camera in the active document to define a view for a
rendering. Parameters that creates a graphic representation that you can view or hide define a
camera. It can define multiple cameras, but it can only use one at a time for rendering.
Figure 4. 22 Camera dialog box
There are multiple controls in this tool:

1. Placement
Drag the target or position to move it in the view plane at the same view distance as the
target or position.
2. Projection
In Projection, we can set the camera view mode to Orthographic or Perspective.
Table 4. 13 Projection
Icon Tools Name Utilities Visualization
Orthographic Orthographic camera for
traditional illustrative
views.
Perspective Perspective camera for more

realistic views.
3. Roll Angle
In Roll Angle, specify the angle of rotation around the direction axis of the camera, if
different from the default.
107
4. Zoom
In Zoom, specify the zoom angle of the camera to define the horizontal field of view, if
different from the default.
5. Depth of Field
By Depth of Field, you can control the focus planes to stay positioned in relation to the
target. If you edit the camera target, the camera stays in focus in relation to it. You can
also animate the camera target. The result is a moving depth of field, which provides a
nice effect in an animation.
4.8.3 Local Lights

The controls for creating a local light are the same as for creating lights in a lighting style. The
only difference is that local lights are maintained in their own browser folder.
There are settings in Local Light dialog box with explanation below:
Table 4. 14 Local Lights
1. 1. Type
Specifies one of the following light
types to control the amount of
illumination provided by the light.
The default is Directional.
Directional
Simulates parallel beams of light
from a single direction in space,
from a light source that is an infinite
distance away, such as the sun.
Point
Simulates light emitted in all
directions from a single point in
space, such as a light bulb. The
target is use to create and edit point
lights, that does not affect where the
light falls.
Spot
Simulates a conical light emitted
from a single point in space in a
particular direction, such as a stage
light.
2. On/Off
Light On
Turns the light on in the lighting
style. The default is On.
Light Off
108
Turns lights on or off. When you
turn off a light, the light color face
changes to black, and in the
browser the light icon in the
lighting style tree is disabled.
3. Placement
Target
Set a target point on the model
when you click anywhere on the
model, then sets the target on the
view plane at the same view
distance as the existing target when
you click in space. Move the mouse
over a surface to display a preview
of the new light target/direction.
Position
Set the position of the light when
you click along the direction line of
the light. The direction line extends
to the standard direction line
distance if that distance is longer
than the current light distance. Or
sets the position at the click point
when you click anywhere on the
model, then sets the position on the
view plane at the same view
distance as the existing position
when you click a point in space.
4. Flip
Click the button on the right to
reverse the direction of the light. The
position and target are swapped as
long as the button on the right is
pressed. The default is Normal (not
reversed)
109
2. Determine how lights of any type emit
light and cast shadows.
a) Intensity
Specifies the amount of
illumination provided by the light.
The default is 0 in a range of 0 to
100.
b) Color

coordinates of the position of the
light source.
b) Target
Specifies values for the X, Y, and Z
coordinates of the target of the light.
c) Hotspot
Specifies the angle of the spot light.
The default is 45 degrees in a range
of 1.0 to 150.0 degrees.
d) Fall off
Specifies the falloff angle of the
spot light. The default is 50.0
degrees in a range of 1.0 to 150.0
degrees

This symbol is really affected to your drawings because the view is different. To
differentiate the projection type just look at the title blocks. This module use Third Angle
Views.
First Angle (Europe Projection):
Figure 5.1. 10 First Angle
Third Angle (American Projection):
5.1.4 LINE
In drawing we are using some type of line that have meaning in every type of line. So, we must use
it with intent and purpose. Based on line thickness, there are 2 types of line: Thick line and Thin line.
Both of this line have 1: 0,5 ratio. In general, thickness of thick line is 0,5mm and 0,7mm.
5.1.4.1 Type of Line and Where to Use

5.1.5 PROJECTION
To present 3D object to a 2D part/planar surface, use projection drawing. You can make your own
prototype by using projection as your guide. It includes all information about an object like shape,
dimension, tolerance, scale, materials, color, and etc.
5.1.5.1 American Projection and Europe Projection

The arrangement of Third Angle projection and First Angle projection is different. So, you
must be careful while do the projection task. The projection arrangement of Third Angle
same like the origin of the object. In First Angle it was different. The top view is not
located top of the front view, but under it. And the right side is located left of the front
view.
126
First Angle (Europe Projection) Arrangement:
Figure 5.1. 12 First Angle
Third Angle (American Projection) Arrangement:
5.1.5.2 Projection Rules

Here are some rule when you are going to do a projection drawings:
a. Choosing Views
In drawing sheet, amount of views must be chosen as necessary. The main
information located on the first view, so the other views like upper view, right view,
left view, and etc, are made to complete the undelivered information.
b. How to Choose the Front View/Main View
Choosing front view of the object to be put in drawing is really important. Because
front view can give description of the real objects. Here are the rules of defining the
first view:
1) Should represents the real shape and function of the object
2) Shows the most visible characteristic
3) Have the least virtual view
4) Shows width and length of the object
5) Choosing front view determines the number of additional views
Figure 5.1. 14 Front view
127
c. The Arrangement of Views
Before creating other view, students must define the type of projection. The views are
selected and arranged in parallel to the main view in one drawing.
Figure 5.1. 15 Arrangement of views must be parallel of each other
5.1.6 PLACE VIEWS

Here is the toolbar that will show in place view tab
Figure 5.1. 16 Place Views toolbar
Place Views is a toolbar that contain some features to make a drawing. In this toolbar, we can make
an American projection or Europe Projection. All this feature can be use to make a full defined
drawings.
5.1.6.1 Tools Used

Here are features when you are going to make a projection drawing in Inventor:
Table 5.1. 5 Tools used in place views
Icon Tools Utilities
Base View The first view created in a drawing
Projected View An orthographic or isometric view that is generated from a

base view or other existing view
Auxiliary View A view projected perpendicular to a selected line or edge.
128
Icon Tools Utilities
Section View A view created by sketching a line that defines a plane use to
cut through a part or assembly.
Detail View An enlarged view of a specified portion of another drawing

view.
Overlay View A single view that shows an assembly in multiple positions.
Draft View A view created from a 2D sketch in the drawing file
Break An operation that reduces the size of a model by removing or

“breaking” irrelevant portions.

expose obscured parts or features in an existing drawing view.
Crop An operation that provides control over the view boundary in

an existing drawing view.
5.1.6.2 Detail Explanation about Tools Above
a. Base View
The Base View tool use to set the front view of the object. If the last active model
document is closed, no model is automatically selected.
Figure 5.1. 17 Base view
To choose display style for the drawing: Click Base View » Component » choose the
display style.

Shaded Display shaded model in view
b. Projected View
You can make other view of the object using this tools. The projected view based on the
view preferences you choose.
Figure 5.1. 18 Projected view
130
c. Auxiliary View
If you see an oblique face on the object, and can not be seen by using a Projected View
tool, use Auxiliary View tool to see it in projection. It is happened when face is not in
perpendicular plane.
Figure 5.1. 19 auxiliary view
d. Section View
Use Section View when you need to see detail information inside of the object. Example
if there is a hole inside the object, and after you projected it you cannot see the hole,
just section that objects and you can see the hole in your projection.
Figure 5.1. 20 Section view
1.) Type of Section

Here is the type of section:
Table 5.1. 7 Type of Section

Full A Section view is made by
Section passing the straight cutting
plane completely through the
part
131
Offset A Section view is made by
Section passing the bended cutting
plane completely through the
part
Half A section view is made by

Section passing the cutting plane
halfway through an object
Broken- A section view is made by

Out passing the cutting plane
Section normal to the viewing direction
and removing the portion of an
object in front of it.
Removed A single or multiple removed

Section (cross) section views can be
arranged without aligning with
the cutting plane line, but it
have to be labeled name of the
cutting plane line
132
Revolved A section view is made by
Section revolving the cross-section
view 90 degree about a cutting
plane and drawn on the
orthographic view.
Aligned Aligned section views are most

Section often use on circular objects
and use an angled cutting plane
line to include more features in
the section wiew. Section view
A-A was created by rotating the
cutting plane into a vertical
position before projecting the
section view.
e. Detail View
If your projected view is still too small to see, just use detail view to make an enlarged
view of specified portion of the view. By default, the scale of the detail view is double
the scale of the chosen view, but you can specify any scale.
Figure 5.1. 21 Detail view
f. Break
Sometimes there is a part that too long to put in the projection, you can reduce the size
of an object by removing the irrelevant portions. The Break tool can exceed the length
of the drawing.
Figure 5.1. 22 Break
133
g. Breakout View
If there are parts that hidden inside the objects, you can breakout the view to expose
hidden part inside the objects in projection. Make sure there are no hidden parts.
Figure 5.1. 23 Breakout View
h. Crop
An operation that provides control over the view boundary in an existing drawing view.
The clipping boundary can be a rectangle or circle you create during the command, or
a closed profile you select from a sketch.
i. Draft View
• Created from 2D sketch in the drawing file
• Place Draft view, and construct a drawing without associated model
• Provide detail that is missing in a model
134
5.1.7 CENTERLINE & CENTER MARK
5.1.7.1 Centerline
Centerlines is annotation that is used to mark circle centers, a diameter of hole, symmetry
axis and describe the geometry side on drawings. You can insert centerlines into drawing
views automatically or manually.
Figure 5.1. 24 Centerline
5.1.7.2 Center Mark

Center marks are annotations that mark circle or arc centers and describe the geometry size
on the drawing. With the center mark tool, you can create a center mark or a center point
on circular edges. The center mark lines can be used as references for dimensioning.

5.2.1 DIMENSIONING
Dimensioning is the process of adding measurement annotation to a drawing.
Figure 5.2. 1 Annotation Autodesk Inventor
5.2.1.1 Annotation Tools
a. General Dimension
General dimension is use to add a dimension on the drawing.
Figure 5.2. 2 General Dimension
In rigid routes, there are three typical types of dimensions pertaining to the route
sketch:
a) Linear Dimension, from one element and between two elements.
Figure 5.2. 3 Linear Dimension
b) Radial Dimension, the dimension can be placed either internally or extremely in

relation to the circumference of the arc/circle.
Figure 5.2. 4 Radial Dimension
c) Angular Dimension, between three points, an interior angle, an exterior angle,

and from a reference line.
Figure 5.2. 5 Angular Dimension
139
b. Baseline Dimension
Baseline dimension sets automate adding multiple dimensions to drawing views.
Student specify an origin to calculate dimensions from and select the geometry to
dimension.
Figure 5.2. 6 Baseline Dimension
c. Ordinate Dimension
Ordinates Dimension is use to give position mark of a point by a reference point. The
first thing that must be done is determining a position of reference point.
Figure 5.2. 7 Ordinate Dimension
d. Chain Dimension
Use the Chain Set commands to add two types of chains dimensions to your drawings:
sets and individual chains dimensions. Then you create dimensions which are parallel
with the base dimensions.
Figure 5.2. 8 Chain Dimension
e. Arrange Dimension
You can arrange linear, angular, true isometric, and individual baseline and ordinate
dimensions. You can select one or multiple dimensions in one or multiple views.
Figure 5.2. 9 Arrange Dimension
140
f. Retrieve Dimensions
Use the retrieve command to display model feature and sketch dimensions and tolerance
on a drawing view. In orthographic views, only those dimensions that are on a plane
parallel to the view are displayed. In isometric views, all dimensions are available for
selection.
Figure 5.2. 10 Retrieve Dimension
g. Hole and Thread Notes

Use Hole and Thread to add a hole or thread note with a leader line. The default format
and content of the note are determined by the settings on the Notes and Leaders tab in
the associated dimension style of the hole note.
Figure 5.2. 11 Hole and Thread Notes
h. Centerline
Centerlines is annotation that is use to mark circle centers, a diameter of hole, symmetry
axis and describe the geometry side on drawings. You can insert centerlines into
drawing views automatically or manually.
Figure 5.2. 12 Centerline
141
i. Center Mark
Center marks are annotations that mark circle or arc centers and describe the geometry
size on the drawing. With the center mark tool, you can create a center mark or a center
point on circular edges. The center mark lines can be use as references for dimensioning.

Radial Dimension A radial dimension

measures the radius or
diameter of arcs and circles
with an optional centerline
or center mark.
Angular Dimension Angular dimension

measure the angle two
selected geometric objects
or three points.
143
Ordinate Dimension Ordinate dimension
measures the perpendicular
distances from an origin
point called the datum, such
as a hole in a part.
Arc Length Arc length dimensions

Dimension measure the distance along
an arc or polyline arc
segment. Typical uses of
arc length dimensions
include measuring the
travel distance around a
cam or indicating the length
of a cable.
Baseline and Continued dimensions, also

Continued called chained dimensions
Dimension are multiple dimensions
placed end-to-end.
Baseline dimensions are
multiple dimensions with

5.2.2 TOLERANCE
Tolerance use when there is deviation form that allowed for the upper and lower deviation limits, the
size of the largest border with the size of the smallest boundary. There are two kinds of tolerance,
they are:
a. Geometric Tolerance
The tolerance that limiting error of the shape, or un precision surface on the object. Basically,
this tolerance allowing us to do something error with the limit. Using this tolerance if there is
something really necessary.
b. Linear Tolerance
Linear dimensions are tolerance that allowed for the size of feature, they specify the allowable
variation of the shape of a feature. An example is in casting process. The investment casting
process is capable of excellent repeatability.
5.2.2.1 Type of Geometric Tolerance

Here is the type of Geometric Tolerance.

Here is the example about how to use tolerance.
Symbol Example Explanation

Straightness can apply to
ether a flat feature such as
Straightness
the surface of a block, or it
tolerance
can apply to the surface of
a cylinder along the axial
direction
Flatness useful when a
feature is to be define on
drawing that needs to be
Flatness
uniformly flat without
Tolerance
tightening any other
dimensions on the
drawing.
The circularity symbol is
use to describe how close
Circularity an object should be a true
Tolerance circle
The cylindricity is use to

describe how close an
object conforms to a true
cylinder. Cylindricity is a
Cylindricity dimensional tolerance that
Tolerance controls the overall form
of cylindrical feature to
ensure that is round
enough and straight
enough along it is axis.
147
Parallelism use when the
condition of a surface, line
or axis which is
equidistant at all points
from a datum plane or
axis. The datum feature
Parallelism
use to establish the datum
Tolerance
is identified with a datum
feature symbol.
In the box symbol of
example can be read
“Relative to datum A with
tolerance zone 0.1”.
Perpendicularity use when
the two-surface needing a
constant 90 degree. The
box symbol can be read
Perpendicularity “This axis must lie
Tolerance between two planes
perpendicular to the
surface at datum A and
spaced 0.2 apart”.
Angularity is the symbol
that describe the specific
orientation of one feature
to another at a referenced
Angularity
angle.
Tolerance
Position tolerance that

controls the central axis of
the referenced feature to
datum axis.
Position
Tolerance
148
Concentricity describe a
condition in which two or
more features (cylinder,
cone, spheres etc.) in any
Concentricity combination have a
Tolerance common axis.
Symmetry is use to ensure

that two features on a part
are uniform across a datum
plane.

5.2.2.3 Linear Fit and Tolerance

Linear dimensions are tolerance that allowed for the size of feature, they specify the
allowable variation of the shape of a feature. We can see the implementation of tolerance
is in casting process. The investment casting process is capable of excellent repeatability.
Linear tolerance is controlled by four dominant factors:
1. Process Variation (20-0% of linear tolerance)

2. Prediction of part shrinkage factors (10-20%)
3. Die maker and tooling tolerance
4. Part shape causing distortion (25-75%)
5.2.2.3.1 Fit Tolerance
Fits tolerance usually common to the couple object such as gripe of disc brake.
For hole symbols using capital letter and for the axis use the small one. Fits
tolerance divided into three:
Type of Fit Tolerance Explanation Example

The hole is larger than the shaft,
enabling the two parts to slide
and/ or rotate when assembled.
Clearance
149
Type of Fit Tolerance Explanation Example
Transition The hole is fractionally smaller
than the shaft and mild force is
required to assemble/
disassemble. Example: coupling
rings, spigot in mating holes.
Interference The hole is smaller than the shaft

and high force and or heat is
required to assemble/
disassemble. Example: bearing
bushes, keys & key ways.
5.2.2.3.2 Deviation
The fundamental deviation refers to the location of the tolerance with respect to
the zero line (basic/nominal size). Capital letters are use for holes and lower-
case letters are use for shafts.
Figure 5.2. 14 Deviation Holes and Shaft
5.2.3 DATUM REFERENCE

A datum is virtual ideal plane, line, point or axis. A datum feature is a physical feature of a part
identified by a datum feature symbol and corresponding datum feature triangle.
Figure 5.2. 15 Datum Reference
The Feature Control Frame style controls the leader attachment, frame appearance, availability of
symbols in Feature Control Frame dialog box, and other properties.

6.1.2 EXPLODED VIEW
An exploded view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that
shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. Exploded view shows an assembly’s
components spread out but positioned to show how they fit together when assembled.
The function of exploded view is to shows the components of an object slightly separated by
distance or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.
An object is represented as if there had been a small controlled explosion emanating from the
middle of the object, causing the object's parts to be separated an equal distance away from their
original locations.
a. Set an Exploded View

There are 2 ways to make an exploded view of an assembly product, automatically and
manually.

6.2.1 BALLOON
Balloon is use to mark each part of assembly component. It is main function is for making the
number of part order. The function of number at the balloon is to showing parts of different
components.
If you create a parts list before adding balloons, the balloons use properties specified by the parts
list. If the view does not have an associated parts list, the BoM Properties dialog box opens so
you can set the properties.
163
If you have a virtual part in the assembly, or a custom part defined in the parts list, you can create
a balloon for it. The balloon can be attached either to a part in the drawing or to an existing
balloon.

6.2.3 BILL OF MATERIAL

Bill of Materials (BoM) is a list of the parts or components that are required to build a product.
The BoM provides the manufacturer’s part number (MPN) and the quantity needed for each
component. BoM usually consists the list of the number of components, mixtures of materials,
and raw materials needed to make a product. Bill of Materials can be positioned on the upper right
with numbering starting from the top down. Otherwise it can also be on the lower right with
numbering starting from buttom up.
Bill of Materials have various shapes and it can be use for many purposes. Bill of Materials are
created as part of the design process and used by a manufacturing engineer to determine which
items to buy or to make production. Production and inventory control planning uses BoMs that
are linked to master production schedule, to determine the release of items which will purchased
or produced.
166
An accurate Bill of Material shows information about each of the product inputs, such as:
component number, component description, amount required for each component, unit size, and
lead time of work / order. All items and BoMs must be uniquely identified and numbered.
