hello friends welcome to freek tutorial
0:02
and in this tutorial we will convert
0:06
this 2D drawing into the 3D model as
0:09
well as we will create a technical
0:11
drawing for this tutorial I am using the
0:14
free version 1.0 so you must have at
0:17
least 1.0 or higher version of a free
0:21
CAD so let's start our tutorial if you
0:24
wanted to learn free CAD from the
0:26
scratch then you can purchase my course
0:29
complete free CAD 1.0 course from zero
0:32
to expert and this course is a 4.2 rated
0:36
by 438 students and more than 2,000
0:40
students have purchased this course i
0:43
update this course on a regular interval
0:45
of a time and this course is from the
0:48
very basics like uh introduction to free
0:51
CAD and what are the new feature in 1.0
0:54
0 how to customize free fundamental of a
0:58
sketching fundamental of a part design
1:02
mechanical part modeling in freead
1:04
advanced part modeling then assembly and
1:08
how to create a technical drawing in a
1:12
free CAD with some projects so this
1:15
course is for beginner user as well as
1:19
for the advanced user and this course
1:21
does not require any period experience
1:24
on a free CAD you can start from very
1:28
basic and master the free CAD so please
1:32
watch the demo lectures and if you find
1:34
this course helpful then please buy this
1:37
course and it will also support me a lot
1:41
to create a content on a free CAD so
1:45
let's come back to our tutorial
1:48
so first I will create a new file and I
1:52
will create a body and switch to model
1:55
tab and here I will on my origin plane
1:59
so now as per the isometric view we can
2:03
see that it is on the top plane so we
2:06
will do the same thing we will select
2:08
the top plane which is our XY plane and
2:11
we will create a sketch
2:15
and now we will switch to the model tab
2:17
and hide the origin now we will uh read
2:20
the drawing so here we have a two
2:26
diameter
2:28
which is a one of diameter 80 and uh
2:32
here is the inner one so for the inner
2:36
one let's see what is the dimensions so
2:40
if we see here this uh
2:45
slot like cut
2:48
the dimension is not given so if any
2:51
dimension is missing then we will assume
2:54
it
2:56
and uh this drawing is also not perfect
2:59
but we will make a perfect drawing in
3:01
free for example this is the dimension
3:04
10 is a diameter because the section is
3:07
the toque from the here so this is the
3:09
diameter and uh surprising thing is that
3:12
this is not given here because we see
3:15
the 28 28 from the hole and we see the
3:18
80 mm here so reading a drawing in also
3:22
an art so just creating a 3D model is
3:26
not sufficient so we will also read the
3:29
drawing and create accordingly so first
3:32
thing which we will do is to create a
3:35
circle which is the outer diameter
3:39
and uh we will give it a
3:43
80 mm
3:45
and now
3:48
here we will select a threepoint arc
3:52
so let's go to the arc section and
3:54
select a threepoint arc and create our
3:57
first point here second point here
4:00
and now
4:03
make this center coincidence
4:07
and now we will make this circle
4:10
approximate
4:12
as per our image so we will select a
4:15
smart dimension
4:17
and let's give it
4:20
uh diameter 15
4:23
and now we will draw the two horizontal
4:26
line select a line tool
4:34
and now here we can trim it or we will
4:37
make a coincidence so better to trim the
4:40
extra one select this one this one and
4:43
trim so here we can see that coincidence
4:45
relation was not there so we will press
4:47
Ctrl Z
4:50
so now it is uh
4:53
perfect but let's see we can we will
4:56
able to trim yes we will able to trim so
4:58
now
5:01
our uh sketch is fully constrained and
5:04
it's look appropriate even though this
5:06
dimension is missing so let's come out
5:10
of the sketch
5:12
and here we can see the thickness is a 5
5:14
mm is given so we will select the sketch
5:16
click on the pad and uh provide the
5:19
value 5 mm let's say okay
5:24
and now let's save our part click on the
5:28
save
5:30
so let's save our part and say okay and
5:33
now
5:35
this is the base feature is created and
5:37
now we will create these three holes so
5:41
we will simply select the top plane and
5:44
click on the sketch and u here if you
5:48
see position is of a 28 28 and 28
5:53
so let's
5:56
create a circle
6:00
and uh make it a construction
6:04
so 28 28 is of 56 so this is the
6:08
diameter of 56
6:13
and now
6:15
we will uh select a circle tool
6:19
create a three circles
6:22
at three locations and now select this
6:26
and this and add a coincidence
6:28
select this and this and add a
6:31
coincidence
6:32
select this and this and add a
6:34
coincidence and now this is of a
6:38
diameter 10 so we will uh give the 10 mm
6:44
and we will press the control key and
6:48
made it equal
6:50
now
6:52
it is a plain drill hole so I will make
6:54
a cut but you can also use this hole
6:57
wizard tool so click on the cut and from
7:00
here say it uh through all so you can
7:04
see that our model is created and now we
7:08
will create a drawing so let's save our
7:10
part to create a drawing we will switch
7:13
to the tech draw workbench
7:19
so here is a tech draw workbench
7:21
activate it
7:24
and now here if you see the tech draw
7:26
workbench so first thing we have to
7:28
insert a template so here is a insert a
7:31
default page or insert a page using
7:35
template so let's browse our template
7:37
directory so once you click on the icon
7:40
you your default installations where the
7:43
template is uh located and now here we
7:47
will use the A3 landscape
7:51
and say okay so now here you can see
7:55
that uh some of the default things has
7:58
been inserted here
8:00
now we will come to the title block
8:02
later let's first place our view so here
8:06
if you go so here you will see the
8:09
options so here is a insert view options
8:13
so first you have to go to the model tab
8:16
and select our base view so select the
8:19
body and click on the insert view
8:24
let's
8:28
rotate this projection view this is the
8:30
first view which we have a place now we
8:33
will make this our base view so our base
8:37
view you can see that I have rotated it
8:40
and now say okay and now here
8:45
we will create one sections so select
8:48
the view and here you will see the
8:50
option of a sections click on the
8:52
section view and here we will select
8:55
this
8:57
options and here you will see that uh
9:02
nothing is happened let's first make a
9:05
identifier a
9:08
and now
9:10
here
9:12
let's make this value 0 0
9:18
and here click on the live updates so
9:21
you can see that uh once we click on the
9:24
live update everything is visible and
9:27
now let's move it
9:32
and now here you will see that uh
9:35
section A a is created as we required
9:38
now say okay
9:43
now we can see the frame outside of our
9:47
projected view so let's move our drawing
9:51
icons which are required
9:55
let's move it now here is a frame option
9:58
once you toggle it this will be get in
10:02
hidden the boundary which we are seeing
10:04
and we can easily
10:06
visible it and the point you are seeing
10:10
here is a C point this helps to pick up
10:12
the point to give the dimensions but
10:16
once you off the frame this point will
10:18
be get hidden now let's give the
10:22
dimensions so first dimension we will
10:24
give is of for diameter 80 so here we
10:28
will select a smart dimensions
10:31
and uh
10:34
this is of R40
10:36
which means of it is a diameter 80 and
10:39
now
10:40
let's select again smart dimension
10:44
and now here if you see that uh these
10:48
center points are not
10:52
the part of our drawing because when we
10:55
off the frame this center point get
10:57
hidden now we will again on it and we
11:00
will first enter the center marks
11:04
so select it and insert the center marks
11:09
so center mark option is here
11:13
add the circle center line so you can
11:15
see that it is added
11:17
same way do here
11:22
and do here and also select this outer
11:26
one and add a center marks and now this
11:30
center marks will help us to give the
11:33
dimensions now select this one and this
11:37
one
11:39
and provide the 28 which is here now
11:42
select this one and this one and give
11:46
the 28
11:48
at the same times select this
11:52
and this
11:55
give the 28
11:58
and now this dimension is missing in a
12:01
drawing so we will select this and this
12:05
and uh give the dimensions and now let's
12:10
move this 28 mm dimensions to the
12:13
outside
12:15
and let's move this 30 mm dimensions and
12:19
now here we will select this and we will
12:23
provide the radial dimensions
12:26
if it is a radius then this dimension is
12:30
not required so we will delete it and uh
12:34
move it
12:40
and now here we will define the diameter
12:44
select a smart dimension select this
12:48
and uh
12:54
give it here and now this hole is of
12:57
three quantities so we will click on
12:59
this 10 mm dimensions and uh here is a
13:03
format specifications
13:05
and here I will provide 3 into x
13:10
means three quantity at three locations
13:13
of diameter 10 and now
13:17
here we will provide the thickness
13:20
select a smart dimensions
13:29
and now let's off the frame
13:33
so you can see that all the dimensions
13:35
are fully defined this 10 mm dimension
13:38
here having no any meaning because we
13:41
have already defined it here so
13:44
thickness is defined hole is defined cut
13:47
is defined and now we will place one
13:50
isometric view so we will go to the our
13:53
model tab and switch to the isometric
13:57
view we will select a body and here we
14:01
will click on the camera icon insert the
14:04
active view and here
14:09
click on the crop image
14:12
and say okay so once you say okay the
14:17
one view is get inserted here but now
14:22
the problem is the we are not happy with
14:25
this so we will select it and delete it
14:28
and we will go to the model tab and
14:31
again click on this camera icon but
14:34
before that we will uh fit our model and
14:38
now
14:41
so here we will uh directly say okay
14:47
and go to the now here we cannot move
14:50
this view because frame is off and once
14:52
the frame is on we will able to move it
14:56
now here active view this part looks
15:00
very small with respect to the isometric
15:03
view and we have the space in our
15:07
drawing so we will make it two times
15:14
and select the boundary line or
15:18
let's make a 1.7
15:25
and here
15:27
you can also see the XY positions lock
15:30
position is false so let's lock the
15:34
position lock is true so you can see the
15:36
lock here
15:38
same way we will move our base view and
15:44
we will also lock our drawing so same
15:48
way select the view lock for position is
15:52
false set it true so once you make it
15:55
true you will see the lock symbol select
15:57
the drawing and lock position make true
16:02
now let's off the frame and see our
16:05
drawing so you can see that we have
16:09
successfully
16:12
made this model and also created the
16:14
drawing now let's come to the title
16:16
block so here
16:21
in a title block there is a material
16:24
options if you click on this then
16:28
material tab will be get visible i will
16:31
keep everything as it is and it is
16:34
exercise one which is the as per the
16:37
image and here is a document type it is
16:40
the assembly drawing so I will change it
16:43
and uh I will uh make it
16:46
part drawing say okay
16:50
drawing number let's say I will make it
16:54
uh 01
16:56
say okay created by I will put here my
17:00
name Amar Patel
17:05
and uh approved by me as well
17:12
now the date is automatically took
17:17
language is English
17:20
now on drawing I will insert my logo so
17:26
here is the owner option is there where
17:28
you can type the text with uh this
17:31
options or
17:34
you can insert your logo to insert the
17:36
logo go to the tech draw and uh here in
17:41
a tech draw views you will get a option
17:43
insert bit mapap images so click on it
17:47
and uh go to the position where your uh
17:52
logo is stored so here is my logo i will
17:56
press the enter so once you press the
17:59
enter the logo is inserted
18:02
and here this uh logo is of a larger
18:07
size so we will go to the scale options
18:11
and make it 0.5
18:15
and move it
18:17
let's make it uh 0 4
18:22
and
18:26
move it so you can see that we have
18:30
successfully fill up the title and now
18:33
let's off the frame so you can see that
18:37
uh we have successfully created this uh
18:43
drawing into the 3D model and we have
18:46
also created
18:48
the drawing with the help of a fur tech
18:51
draw workbench we have also fill up the
18:53
title block fields so this is a very
18:56
basic tutorial how to create a drawings
19:00
in a tech draw workbench as well as
19:02
modeling so this is all about this
