Chapter 16

1 .       Axonometric projection rotates the object so that all three dimensions can be seen in one view. 



2 .       In axonometric projection, the observer is considered to be at a fixed distance from the object. 



3 .       Axonometric projections are classified as: 



4 .       Isometric means "unequal measure." 



5 .       An isometric projection is one which all angles between the axonometric axes are equal. 



6 .       An isometric projection is rotated 45° and tilted 35°16'. 



7 .       An isometric projection is 25% larger than an isometric drawing. 



8 .       Isometric drawings are made more often than isometric projections. 



9 .       Hidden lines are always shown on an isometric drawing but not on an isometric projection. 



10 .       Nonisometric lines are not parallel to isometric axis lines. 



11 .       A regular protractor can be used to set off angles in isometric. 



12 .       Holes drawn in isometric need to be developed as an ellipse. 



13 .       There are two axis lines used to describe an ellipse. These are the major axis and the minor axis. 



14 .       Threads drawn in isometric resemble symbolic thread pitch. 



15 .       Two dimensioning methods are approved by ANSI: the unidirectional system and the pictorial plane or aligned system. 



16 .       A dimetric projection is an axonometric projection of an object so placed that three axis lines make equal angle. 



17 .       A trimetric projection is an axonometric projection of an object so placed that no two axes make equal angles. 



18 .       Profs. L. Eckhart and T. Schmid of the Vienna College develop Method of Intersections in 1937.
