List the steps in making oblique sketches with straight lines.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

STEP 1 Select one view of the object that gives most of the desired information.
STEP 2 Draw light horizontal and vertical baselines.
STEP 3 Lay out the edges of the die block in the front view from the base lines. All vertical lines on the front face of the object will be parallel to the vertical base line; all horizontal lines will be parallel to the horizontal base line. All lines will be in their true size and shape in this view.
STEP 4 Start at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal base lines and draw a line at an angle of 45° to the base line. This line is called the oblique base line.
STEP 5 Draw the remaining lines for the right-side and top view parallel to either the oblique base line or to the horizontal or vertical base lines, as the case may be. Because these lines are not in their true size or shape, they should be drawn so they appear in proportion to the front view.
STEP 6 Place dimensions so they are parallel to the edge lines.
STEP 7 Erase unnecessary lines. Darken object lines to make the sketch clearer and easier to interpret.
