CONSTRUCTION EXCERCISES

Oblique Views
Oblique views are a type of pictorial view. They show an object from the front with all depths at an angle of 45. These depths are also drawn at half their actual size.

CAVALIER OBLIQUE ( D ) D = Depth

CABINET OBLIQUE ( 1/2 D )

COMMON OBLIQUE ( 3/4 D )

Cavalier Projection

When the receding lines are true length, and the projectors are at 45 degrees to the plane of projection, the oblique drawing is called cavalier projection

Cabinet Projection

When the receding lines are drawn to half size, the drawing is known as a cabinet projection

Common Projection

When the receding lines are drawn to 3/4 size, the drawing is known as a common projection

Offset Measurements

Circles, circular arcs, and other curved surfaces are drawn using offset measurements

Angles in Oblique Projection

When an angle is specified in degrees in a receding plane, convert the angle into linear measurements to draw the angle in an oblique drawing

Angles in Oblique Projection

Oblique Dimensioning

Oblique drawings are dimensioned in a similar fashion as isometric drawings

Screw Threads in Oblique

Partial circles spaced equally show symbolic thread pitch

CONSTRUCTION OF OBLIQUE DRAWING BY BOX METHOD

Top View

450

Front View

EXERCISE
Figure shows that the top and front views of objects. Draw this objects in cavalier oblique drawing. Use 10 mm x 10 mm grid.

ANSWER

EXERCISE
Redraw this object in cavalier and in cabinet oblique drawings.

Oblique Views - EXAMPLE

An oblique view of a shape is shown below. The next few slides will show you how to draw it.

Oblique Views
D
Plan

Here the orthographic views of the object are shown.

Elevation

End Elevation

Oblique Views
Start the oblique drawing by redrawing the elevation full size.

Oblique Views
Now draw in the construction for the depths of the object.

All depths are drawn at

45.

Oblique Views
Now mark on the sizes of the depths of the object. 1/ 2

All depths are dimensioned

1/ 2
actual sizeCabinet oblique.

Oblique Views
Now we will get rid of the projection lines to see the drawing more easily.

The depths for the square boxes have been drawn but now we need to add the front depth.

Oblique Views
If you havent done so already, draw the centrelines for the circle on your drawing.

Oblique Views
Use your 45 set square again and project a line forward.

Oblique Views
Mark on the depth at 1/2 the length as before.

Oblique Views
Draw centrelines at this point.

Oblique Views
Using a compass draw the circle from this new centrepoint.

Oblique Views
Now join the outsides of the two circles to complete this part.

Oblique Views
Rub out any lines you would not see.

Oblique Views
This is the final shape you are left with.
