With the physical block given, drawing it on auto cad using a pictorial view to get a better understanding of the object. Including an isometric, oblique and cabinet view helps other read and interrupt the drawing more easier.
Using the isometric key which I got to learn when i first started learning how to use auto cad and then with this assignment actually put it to use to draw the physical object given. Isometric views shows multiple faces at the same time, all inclined. Vertical lines are true to size and can be measured as well as lines in 30°. Oblique views the front face is parallel to page and side view view inclined at 45° . In cabinet view measurements are in half.
When drawing on auto cad I change the o snap settings on the bottom right to 45°. and Switch the iso planes with the F5 key or control E.
When I first started this problem I had difficulty with drawing the object, it was looking a little off. And figuring out where to start and then moving to another corner or switching between keys. I had to draw it over a few times or figure what line was wrong, either how i drew it on autocad or with the measurements I had taken. After I was able to overcome my problem. A new key I learned was adding the dimensions and moving it around in paper space. Putting anything in paper space was a problem with me. My layout will be sloppy and dimensions will overlap the drawing. My title block was also not complete. The scale information was also wrong. I know for the future and with any other problem related you need to make the information you’re trying to show readable for someone.
