Reducers are widely used in modern machinery, including cement trucks, mast cranes, container cranes, jib cranes, and even Ferris wheels. For CAD design engineers, it's common to face situations where the internal structure of an assembly needs to be clearly represented in technical drawings. In such cases, certain parts must be processed to reveal internal components early in the design phase, allowing for timely adjustments and ensuring a smooth production cycle.
To demonstrate how this can be efficiently achieved, we'll use Zhongwang 3D, a powerful 3D CAD software. This article will guide you through the process of setting up views, hiding components, and improving drawing clarity to better visualize internal structures.
The following steps illustrate how to create an assembly drawing and view the internal structure by hiding the top cover.
1. Right-click on the workspace and select “2D Drawing.†Choose the frame to enter the drawing module.
2. Generate the final assembly drawing, which includes all necessary views.
To view the internal structure, you can hide the top cover. There are two ways to do this:
- Create a new engineering drawing and generate the required view. During view generation, select the component you want to hide.
- Alternatively, directly edit the properties of the assembly drawing. Right-click and choose "Properties," then hide the components you don’t want to display.
These operations allow engineers to clearly visualize the internal structure of a reducer, significantly improving communication efficiency and design clarity. The process is straightforward and user-friendly, making it ideal not only for reducers but also for other similar mechanical systems.
Zhongwang 3D recently introduced a mobile tutorial training program, helping beginners quickly master 3D CAD/CAM skills. Additionally, Zhongwang 3D2013 now supports direct output to 3D Printers (Print3D), enabling rapid prototyping and quality checks through 3D printing.
