Engineering Drawing SKV 1021: Geometry

The document discusses techniques for drawing geometric shapes such as ellipses and polygons in engineering drawings using QCAD software. It provides step-by-step instructions for drawing polygons like pentagons, hexagons and heptagons by dividing circles into segments and connecting points. The document aims to teach students how to apply techniques to draw ellipse structures and polygon shapes.

TECHNIQUES FOR DRAWING POLYGONS


(contd)
Steps using QCAD
With given radius of a circle, draw the circle
with center O
Divide line OA into 2 same parts to produce D
Draw an arc/circle with D as center through
point E to produce F
Draw another arc/circle with E as center through
point F to produce G
Use EG to produce points at G, H, J, K
Connect points E, G, H, J, K to produce pentagon

TECHNIQUES FOR DRAWING POLYGONS


(contd)

Steps using QCAD


Given the side length AB of the hexagon
Draw two half circles with point A & B as the
center to produce point C
Draw a circle with length AB as the radius with
C as the center to produce D & E
Using length AB, draw an arc/circle to produce
point F and G
Connect points A, D, F, G, E and B to produce
the hexagon

Steps using QCAD


Given a circle with radius R and center O
From point A and B, draw 2 arc/circle with
radius R intersecting the circle (center O)
to produce points C, D, E and F
Connect points A to F to produce the

TECHNIQUES FOR DRAWING POLYGONS


(contd)
Steps using QCAD
Given the side length of the heptagon AB. Divide AB into 2
parts with the same length (produce point O)
Draw a half circle (center O) with radius OA (produce point
C4)
Draw an arc/circle (center B) with radius AB to produce point
C6
Divide line (with C4 & C6 as end points) into 2 same parts to
produce point C5
Transfer point C4 to C5 to produce points C7, C8 & so on
Using C7 as center, draw a circle & transfer length AB to the
circle drawn & a heptagon is produced
You can use point C8 and C9 as center of the circle to produce
octagon and nonagon
