    Dimensions are used to describe sizes and relationships between features in drawings. Drawings with dimensions and notes serve as construction documents and legal contracts. There are different types of dimensions like size dimensions, which describe sizes of features, and location dimensions, which provide locations of features in relation to other features and require a datum surface. Good dimensioning involves using proper dimensioning techniques defined by standards, choosing appropriate dimensions, and properly placing dimensions for clarity.

    The key takeaways are that dimensions are used to describe sizes and relationships between features in drawings to manufacture and inspect parts. Standards like ANSI Y14.5M-1994 define dimensioning technique.

    The different types of dimensions are size dimensions, which describe sizes of features, and location dimensions, which provide the location of one surface or feature in relation to another and require a datum surface for reference.

    The three things for good dimensioning are good dimensioning technique, good choice of dimensions, and good placement of dimensions.

    Dimensions Dimensioning

    Dimensions are used to describe the sizes and relationships between features in your drawing. Dimensions are used to manufacture parts and to inspect the resulting parts to determine if they are acceptable. Drawings with dimensions and notes often serve as construction documents and legal contracts. ANSI Y14.5M-1994 is the current standard. Other standards may apply.

    Standards for Your Career Field


    Standards are different in different career areas. Most of the examples in this course will be of mechanical parts. Civil, Electrical, Construction, and other areas follow similar practices, but sometimes with less need for precision in measurements. Dimensioned drawings are a part of a contractual document.

    Dimension Types
    Size dimensions
    Describe size of features such as holes Do not require datum surfaces

    Location dimensions
    Provides location of one surface or feature in relation to another Requires a datum surface for reference
    4

    Features

    Vocabulary
    Dimension line, Extension line, Leader, Dimension offset or gap, Centerline, Finish mark, Dimension value Baseline dimensioning, Chained dimensioning

    Tolerance
    Definition: The total allowable variation an acceptable part can have from the specified dimension. The less variation allowed, the more the part will cost to make.

    3 Things for Good Dimensioning


    Good technique of dimensioning Good choice of dimensions Good placement of dimensions

    Dimensioning Technique
    describes how the dimensions in your drawing should look. defined by various standards like ANSI Y14.5-1994. help you create dimensions that are plainly visible and can be easily interpreted. specifies sizes for creating dimensions relative to the paper size of your final plot.

    Dimensioning Symbols

    Leaders

    Orientation for Dimension Values


    Unidirectional: read horizontally from bottom of sheet Aligned: align with dimension line and read from bottom or right side of sheet

    Unidirectional Orientation

    Aligned Dimensions

    Stagger Dimension Values

    Finish Marks

    Dimension & Extension Lines

    Choice of Dimensions
    the dimensions you specify determine the way the the part is manufactured and the way the tolerance is applied consider the purpose of the part and its function in the assembly consider how easy it will be to check the measurement on the actual part fully dimension each part do not over dimension, each dimension should appear only once

    Choosing Which Dimensions to Show


    Dont over dimension Give the diameter of circular shapes, the radius of arcs. No redundant or superfluous dimensions Give size dimensions for features. Give location dimensions to show how features relate to one another.

    Mating Dimensions

    Effect of Tolerance on Dimensioning


    Chained
    each dimension continues from the previous one tolerances stack

    Baseline
    each dimension is specified from a common baseline tolerances do not stack

    Units
    Fractional Inch Decimal inch dimensions are typically specified to 2 decimal places. Metric values are typically given in whole millimeters or to one decimal place.

    Placement of Dimensions
    Rules-of-thumb for dimension placement help ensure that others will be able to interpret your drawing Where placement practices conflict, remember that your goal is to clearly communicate the purpose of the drawing. Use the practice you feel will make the drawing easy to understand.

    Placement Practices
    Avoid dimensioning on object. Avoid dimensioning to hidden lines. Place dimensions between views when possible. Dont float dimensions. Group dimensions around a central view. Place dimensions where feature shows shape. Dimension from or between machined surfaces Give overall dimensions where possible. Dont dimension to rectangular view centerlines.

    Dimensioning Prisms

    Dimensioning Cylinders

    Dimensioning Holes

    Using Diameter Symbol

    Locating Holes

    Coordinate (Ordinate) Dimensioning

    Summary
    Good dimensioning is a combination of choosing dimensions which reflect your design intent, proper technique in creating the details of the dimension line, extension line, arrowheads and dimension values, and placing the dimensions on the drawing so that they can be read clearly. Dimensioning drawings correctly can be as important or more important than drawing the shapes correctly. Good dimensioning requires practice and thought!

    Where to get more information


    Refer to examples in your textbook ASME, ANSI, ISO, and other organizations publish standards. Talk to people in manufacturing. Their experience is valuable in helping you keep the cost of the product down by specifying reasonable tolerances and up-to-date manufacturing processes.
