Steps to make an assembly drawing from component

drawings:
• Understand the purpose, principle of operation and field of application of the given machine.
This will help in understanding the functional requirements of individual parts and their location.
• Examine thoroughly, the external and internal features of the individual parts.
• Choose a proper scale for the assembly drawing.
• Estimate the overall dimensions of the views of the assembly drawing and make the outline
blocks for each of the required view, leaving enough space between them, for indicating
dimensions and adding required notes.
• Draw the axes of symmetry for all the views of the assembly drawing.
• Begin with the view from the front, by drawing first, the main parts of the machine and then
adding the rest of the parts, in the sequence of assembly.
• Project the other required views from the view from the front and complete the views.
• Mark the location and overall dimensions and add the part numbers on the drawing.
• Prepare the parts list.
• Add the title block.
