1. Creating Sheet Metal Pattern
Single View Drawing

2. Prepare to Draw Brush off eraser crumbs/debris from table
Tape down new title block
Use 0.5 6H (green) pencil and Ames Lettering Guide to create guidelines for your title block

3. Centering Notes - Horizontally
Subtract width of the drawing from width of the paper (10 ½) and divide the answer by 2 to get distance X.
Example:
10 ½ - 7 (width of the drawing)= 3 ½
3 ½ ÷ 2 = 1 ¾
Distance X = 1 ¾
From the left border line of the title block, measure to the right distance X.
From the mark for distance X, measure to the right the width of the drawing.
Draw the vertical lines up to indicate the right and left sides of the drawing.
1 ¾ 7

4. Centering Notes – Vertically
Subtract the height of the drawing from the height of the paper (7) and divide the answer by 2 to get distance Y.
Example:
7 – 4 ½ (height of the drawing)= 2 ½
2 ½ ÷ 2 = 1 ¼
Distance Y = 1 ¼
From the top of the title block, measure down distance Y.
From the mark for distance Y, measure down the height of the drawing.
Draw the horizontal lines across to indicate the top and the bottom of the drawing.
1 ¼
4 ½

5. Get out Introduction Drawing Notebook
Grab the large black notebook on your computer table – Introduction to Engineering Drawing and Design
Turn to tab 5 and flip until you see a page with these drawings:
You will be using 0.5 6H (green) pencil for most of this lesson

6. Centering Directions - Horizontally
Subtract width of the drawing (8) from width of the paper (10 ½) and divide the answer by 2 to get distance X.
10 ½ - 8 =
2 ½
2 ½ ÷ 2 =
1 ¼
Distance X = 1 ¼

7. Centering Directions - Horizontally
From the left border line of the title block, measure to the right 1 ¼ and make a small, light tick mark using your 0.5 6H (green) pencil
1 ¼

8. Centering Directions - Horizontally
From that mark, measure to the right the 8 and make a small, light tick mark using your 0.5 6H (green) pencil
1 ¼ 8

9. Centering Directions - Horizontally
Use the triangles to draw vertical construction lines, with 0.5 6H (green) pencil, to indicate the right and left sides of the drawing
1 ¼ 8

10. Centering Directions - Vertically
Subtract the height of the drawing (5) from the height of the paper (7) and divide the answer by 2 to get distance Y.
7 - 5 = 2
2 ÷ 2 = 1
Distance Y = 1

11. Centering Directions - Vertically
From the top border line of title block, measure to the down 1 and make a small, light tick mark using your 0.5 6H (green) pencil 1

12. Centering Directions - Vertically
From that mark, measure down 5 and make a small, light tick mark using your 0.5 6H (green) pencil 1 5

13. Centering Directions - Vertically
Use your parallel bar to draw horizontal construction lines, to indicate the top and the bottom of the drawing 1
Now the outline of the drawing has been created (top, bottom, left and right) 5

14. Horizontal Construction Lines
Look at the drawing to determine other measurements (dimensions) for horizontal lines

15. Horizontal Construction Lines
From top, horizontal construction line measure down 1” and make a small, light tick mark using your 0.5 6H (green) pencil (measure along title block) 1

16. Horizontal Construction Lines
From that mark measure down 3” and make a small, light tick mark using your 0.5 6H (green) pencil (measure along title block) 1 3

17. Horizontal Construction Lines
Use your parallel bar to draw horizontal construction lines where those two marks were made (middle of drawing) 1 3

18. Vertical Construction Lines
Look at the drawing to determine other measurements (dimensions) for vertical lines

19. Vertical Construction Lines
From left, vertical construction line on the right, measure over to the right 2” and make a small, light tick mark using your 0.5 6H (green) pencil (measure along title block) 2

20. Vertical Construction Lines
From that mark measure to the right 4” and make a small, light tick mark using your 0.5 6H (green) pencil (measure along title block) 2 4

21. Vertical Construction Lines
Use the triangles to draw vertical construction lines to indicate the right and left sides of the drawing 2 4

22. Darken Vertical Object Lines
Use your 0.7 (blue) pencil and darken in the vertical object lines for the drawing

23. Darken Horizontal Object Lines
Use your 0.7 (blue) pencil and darken in the horizontal object lines for the drawing

24. Un-tape Your Drawing and Fill Out the Title Block
Lettering should be dark and precise (use your 0.5 F pencil (black))
