Description

  • read a technical drawing of medium difficulty
  • identify standard mechanical components on a drawing
  • identify the operation of a mechanical system of moderate difficulty from an overall drawing
  • draw a part in several views, following the rules of projection
  • identify and draw cylinder-plane, cylinder-cylinder, plane-cone, cylinder-cone intersections
  • draw cross-sections and sectional views
  • extract a part from an overall drawing of moderate difficulty
  • use of basic Solidwork functions (part mode, assembly and drawing)
