2. CONTENT: TOPIC: ISOMETRIC DRAWING DEFINITION ISOMETRIC AXES
DIMENSIONING
DRAWING OF A SIMPLE SHAPED BLOCK ISOMETRICALLY.

3. DEFINITION
An isometric drawing can be defined as a form of pictorial drawing which is inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal plane

4. The following Instruments are used in isometric drawing for speed and accuracy
Tee square
Set square
Rules
French curves
Etc

5. What is a simple solid?
A simple solid is a firm object having length, width and height.
It has three principal dimensions enclosed by surfaces.
Examples of simple geometrical solids are:
Triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, prisms, pyramids, cones, spheres and other solids such as tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron etc
NOTE: CHECK Pg.23 EVANS BASIC TECH FORJSS BK.3

6. ISOMETRIC AXES
An axis is the imaginary line that joins the centre of the ends of regular solid
Right receding axis
Left receding axis
Vertical axis
Isometric drawing is built around the isometric axes as shown below

7. ISOMETRIC VIEW

8. DIMENSIONING
This is the selection of correct measurment, the lettering and the positioning of the dimensions on a drawing.
Types of dimensioning:
Chain dimensioning
Datum dimensioning

9. Essential points to note when dimeNsioning
Dimensioning are placed outside the outline of the views
Extension or projection lines are used to indicate the length to be dimensioned.
They are written above a horizontal lines and on the left of vertical lines.
It should be spaced on the drawing.
Semi circles and arcs are dimensions using their radius, R=50

10. Essential points contd.
Do not use centre lines and outlines as dimension lines.
Circles are dimensioned by their diameters with symbol Ø.
Never repeat dimensions on other views.

ALL DIMENSIONS ARE IN MM

12. Evaluation What is isometric drawing?
How many axes are found on isometric drawing? Mention them.
List any three essential points to note when dimensioning.
Reproduce and dimension the simple block in your note.
