Create a blueprint

00:02

create a blueprint

00:06

in this video we'll import a cad model,

00:08

update a title block, apply dimensions and tolerances and apply G. D. N. T. Symbols

00:15

infusion 3 60. Let's get started with the supply design simple block.

00:19

Now it's important whenever you import a model,

00:22

if it wasn't drawn in Fusion 3 60 that you validate the units.

00:26

In this case I'm going to use inspect and

00:28

just double check a couple of the dimensions.

00:30

For example you can see this bottom edge is two inches long.

00:34

Having a nice round imperial number.

00:36

Tells me that this part was designed in the inch unit system.

00:40

Often times when you import a model.

00:42

It's a good idea to double check a handful of

00:44

dimensions to get an idea what units it was designed in

00:47

just in case you don't have that information

00:50

for this example let's go ahead and create a simple detailed drawing to do this.

00:54

We'll go to our workspace picker select drawing and from design.

00:59

Remember in Fusion 3 60 that we have two

01:02

different standards to select from a sme and I.

01:05

S. O. Depending on which projection you want to use with your drawing views.

01:09

You'll need to select the appropriate standard.

01:11

In this case a sme will allow us to use a third angle

01:15

projection and the ISO standard will allow us to use first single projection.

01:19

We can choose what we want to bring into our detailed drawing.

01:23

In this case it's a single part. So we're going to use the full assembly

01:26

we're going to create it new with no templates so from scratch with

01:30

the inch unit system and we're going to select a sheet size.

01:33

Notice that in this case we have a handful of sheet sizes available.

01:37

We have a four A three, A two A one and a zero.

01:42

The sheet sizes will be based partially on the standards. So for example

01:47

will have different sheet sizes available.

01:50

The B sheet sizes 17 by 11

01:52

and for it. So

01:54

the sheet sizes are going to be a zero through A four.

01:58

Once again,

01:58

it's important at this stage that we select

02:00

the appropriate standard units and sheet sizes.

02:03

Some properties of a detailed drawing can be changed after the fact but

02:07

the standards will be set at this point when we're creating our drawing

02:11

for this example, I'm going to go ahead and use an A four sheet size.

02:15

We'll select OK.

02:17

And we're prompt with a detailed drawing.

02:20

The first thing that we need to do is we need to place our first drawing view.

02:23

We're going to be using the front orientation and

02:26

placing the view in the upper right hand quadrant.

02:28

We can set our style in this case visible edges,

02:32

the scale at 1 to 1 tangent edges fully visible.

02:36

And then select OK.

02:38

From here we want to create our projected views.

02:41

So from create will select projected view

02:45

will select the base view or parent view and we'll drag the views down

02:49

in this case because we're using first angle projection We can see the

02:53

top of the part we see our champ for and the vertical wall

02:56

we can select left click to place our view and then we'll drag our right hand view

03:02

and then we can place our isometric view,

03:04

select the green check mark to continue.

03:07

It's important to note that the sheet scale and the number

03:10

is going to be based inside of our title block.

03:13

Once again, depending on the standards that you're using,

03:16

certain information will be provided in the title block for you

03:19

in this case since we are using the ISO standard,

03:22

our title block looks different than an sme standard.

03:25

If we go back and we modify any parameters of the base view for example,

03:30

we can double click and modify the scale.

03:32

This is going to update all the views that are currently linked to it.

03:36

In this case we want to stick to a 1-1 view.

03:39

We can also move these views around if we need

03:42

to reposition them for more space for dimensions or annotations.

03:46

Next we want to make some adjustments to the information inside of our title block.

03:50

If we left click on the title block,

03:52

it's going to select the title block information from here we

03:56

can right click and notice we're presented with new title block.

03:59

Edit title block and edit properties

04:02

in this case edit properties will allow us to

04:04

modify the attributes that are predefined in this title block

04:08

first instead of the full name and created by I'm

04:10

going to double click on it and change this to mp

04:14

we're going to hit enter to accept the attribute

04:16

next under the title instead of simple block.

04:19

We're going to change this to intro to blueprints.

04:22

So remove the title and type in intro to blueprints.

04:27

If you want to add any additional information,

04:30

you simply need to double click on the attributes and then hit enter to accept it.

04:34

Once we're done we can finish the properties

04:36

and the new information populates our title block.

04:39

Next we want to apply some basic dimensions.

04:42

Remember it's important with your dimension ng schemes to

04:44

ensure that you don't have more dimensions than necessary.

04:47

So we're going to select dimensions and we're going to begin by

04:50

creating an overall height dimension based on our right hand view.

04:55

Once again based on the standards were using

04:59

the units are going to be displayed differently.

05:01

The

05:02

standard will have the unit displayed in

05:03

this orientation next to the dimension line

05:06

while the

05:08

standard are also

05:09

standard will have the number displayed in between the leader line.

05:13

Next we're going to go to our front view and we're

05:17

going to select these end points to display a width.

05:20

We want to display a height

05:24

And we also want the internal height from these two edges.

05:28

We needed to display the height from this bottom edge to this edge here

05:32

and we're going to use the top view to give the overall width and height dimensions.

05:39

Keeping in mind that we can't select an entire edge or we can select the corner points

05:44

If you have a design that has champers or tapered edges

05:47

using the extensions of the corner points can be helpful.

05:51

Next we need some additional information.

05:53

We don't know how long this edges or the angle here.

05:56

So I'm going to select this edge and I'm going to bring this dimension up.

06:01

Note that these two lines cross.

06:02

So we want to make sure that we come back and use a dimension break.

06:05

Next we want to dimension the angle here so we need

06:08

to select two edges and then we can indicate the angle

06:13

I'm going to hit escape to get off my dimension tool and after dimensions

06:16

are created we can reposition them to make sure that the drawing is clear.

06:20

Notice that a lot of these dimension lines are overlapping.

06:23

This can be problematic whenever you're creating a dimension to drawing.

06:27

So you want to make sure that you

06:28

position specific dimensions in areas that make sense.

06:31

For example this .75 can be reduced and we can pull it down here so it's nice and clear

06:39

as we take a look at our detailed drawing.

06:41

If any dimensions do overlap we can use the dimension and dimension break option.

06:45

This will ensure that the dimension lines or at least the extensions of

06:48

them have a break to make sure that we indicate a clean dimension.

06:53

Next we want to add some G. D and T.

06:55

Or geometric dimension ng intolerance and symbols.

06:58

So from the symbols area we want to select data identifier.

07:03

The data identifiers will help us identify critical locations on a part.

07:07

First I'm going to select the object the position of the data identifier.

07:11

It's extension and then I can right click and select OK. Or left click on the green.

07:15

Check the first datum identifier is going to be a and I'll select OK.

07:20

We're going to repeat this process and select the left edge.

07:24

Select its position,

07:25

its extension distance and then the green check mark to select.

07:28

Okay

07:29

if we want to reposition data identifiers we can

07:32

do that after the fact by moving them around

07:34

but note that their extension lines might overlap

07:37

So it might take a little bit of practice to figure out

07:39

exactly where you need to select in order to reposition your data.

07:43

We can also use other features such as texts,

07:46

notes and leaders to help identify certain areas of the design.

07:50

For example, a leader note might be helpful to point to a specific edge.

07:54

We can add a note such as break all edges

07:58

that could apply to an entire part or just a specific area of a design.

08:03

I'm gonna double click the mouse wheel to fit my drawing view to screen.

08:07

There are other aspects of detailed drawings that we

08:09

do need to also talk about For example,

08:12

tolerance values on dimensions,

08:14

this one inch dimension.

08:15

For example, if we need to add a tolerance value,

08:17

we can simply double click on the dimension which opens up our dimension.

08:21

Dialogue inside of here. By default we can see the representation of the dimension,

08:26

any specific symbols that we need to

08:28

insert the primary and potentially secondary units,

08:31

whether or not it has leading or trailing zeros

08:34

and also unit abbreviations.

08:36

For example, if we wanted to make sure that inch was displayed on the units,

08:40

we could do that.

08:41

We also have options for tolerances and inspections.

08:44

If we enable these options,

08:46

note that the tolerances can have a symmetric a deviation or a limit type

08:52

in this case, if we select the option to use limit,

08:55

we need to add an upper and lower bounds for those limits.

08:58

For example, if this block could be one inch or above but not below.

09:03

The lower tolerance value would be zero based off the measurement.

09:07

So it goes from 1 to 1.1.

09:10

If we use a deviation value we're giving it a value plus or minus above or below

09:16

and if we use a symmetrical tolerance, this will give us a plus or minus value

09:21

again,

09:21

depending on the intent and the units you might need to play

09:25

around with these options to see how your dimensions need to be displayed

09:29

next we have an inspection option

09:31

inspection options, allow us to add frames, labels and rates.

09:35

If we need certain dimensions to be inspected.

09:37

This is a critical aspect of the manufacturing process and certain

09:41

areas of a detailed drawing are likely to have inspection notes

09:45

so make sure that you do pay attention to the tolerance

09:47

values and any symbols or notes around the detailed drawing.

09:51

Next let's make sure that we do save our detailed drawing by default.

09:56

This will take on the name of our design in this case,

09:58

simple block and simply add drawing after the fact we

10:02

can save this as is or we can modify the name

10:05

From here.

10:06

I suggest you continue to play with adding detailed drawing elements to

10:09

make sure that you're comfortable with using them in fusion 360.

10:13

If you want to keep this drawing sheet, you can always go to the bottom.

10:16

Select quick add and add a secondary sheet here.

10:20

You can start again by adding a base view.

10:22

You can place the base view as well as

10:24

any other settings or projections based on that view.

10:28

So it's a great way for you to play around

10:29

with adding detailed drawing elements without affecting the original sheet.

10:34

Once again, make sure that you do save and save often

10:37

and then we can move on to the next step
