Study 1 - Setting the Layers and Application of Layers

Aim: To set the layers and to learn and manage the layers.
Description:
LAYER: The command “LAYER” manages layers. It makes a layer current, adds
new layers, deletes layers and renames layers. One can assign properties to layers,
turn layers on and off, freeze and thaw layers globally or by view port, lock and
unlock layers, set plot styles for layers, and turn plotting on and off for layers. Also,
one can filter the layer names displayed in the Layer Properties Manager, and can
save and restore layer states and properties settings.
By creating layers, one can associate similar types of objects by assigning them to
the same layer. For example, construction lines, text, dimensions, and title blocks
can be put on separate layers and can then be controlled to check:
 Whether the objects on a layer are visible in any view ports
 Whether and how the objects are plotted
 What color is assigned to all the objects on a layer
 What default line type and line weight is assigned to all objects on a layer
 Whether objects on a layer can be modified
When a new drawing is begun, AutoCAD creates a special layer named 0. By
default, layer 0 is assigned colour number 7 (white or black depending upon your
background colour), the CONTINUOUS line type, a line weight of Default (the default
setting is 01 inch or .25 mm), and the NORMAL plot style. Layer 0 cannot be deleted
or renamed.
Procedure:
From Format menu, select Layer
At the command prompt, enter LAYER or LA
The Layer & Line type properties dialog box appears
Command: LAYER
Various icons and buttons in the dialog box indicate various statuses of layers and
layer management tools.
Named Layer Filters
Determines which layers to display in the list of layers. You can filter layers based on
whether they're xref-dependent, or whether they contain objects. You can also filter
layers based on name, visibility, color, line type, line weight, plot style name, whether
they are plotted, or whether they are frozen in the current view port or in new view
ports.
[...] Button: Displays the Named layer filters dialog box
Invert Filter: Displays layers based on the opposites of the criteria in a named layer
filter. Layers that fit the inverse criteria are displayed in the layer name list.
New
Creates a new layer. After you choose New, the list displays a layer named LAYER1.
You can edit this layer immediately. To create multiple layers more quickly, you can
select a layer name for editing and enter multiple layer names separated by
commas.
If you create a new layer, the new layer inherits the properties of the currently
selected layer in the layer list (Color, On/Off state, and so on). To create layers with

GREGORIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Page 3

default settings, make sure that there are no selected layers in the list or that you
select a layer with default settings before beginning layer creation.
Current
Sets the selected layer as the current layer
Delete
Deletes selected layers from the drawing file definition. You can delete only
unreferenced layers. Referenced layers include layers 0 and DEFPOINTS, layers
containing objects, the current layer, and xref-dependent layers. Layers that don't
contain objects, are not current, and are not xref-dependent can be deleted.
List of Layers: Displays layers and their properties. To modify a property, click its
icon. To quickly select all the layers, use the right-click and shortcut menu.
Names: Displays the names of the layers. You can select a name, and then click
and enter a new name.
On/Off: Turns layers on and off. When a layer is on, it is visible and available for
plotting. When a layer is off, it is invisible and not plotted, even if Plot is on.
Freeze/ Thaw selected layers in all view ports.
You can freeze layers to speed up ZOOM, PAN, and many other operations;
improve object selection performance; and reduce regeneration time for complex
drawings. AutoCAD does not display, plot, hide, render, or regenerate objects on
frozen layers. When you thaw a frozen layer, AutoCAD regenerates and displays the
objects on that layer. You can freeze layers in all view ports, in the current layout
view port, or in new layout view ports as they are created.
Lock/Unlock: Locks and unlocks the layers. You cannot edit objects on a locked
layer. Locking a layer is useful if you want to view information on a layer for
reference but do not want to edit objects on that layer.
Color: Changes the color associated with the selected layers. Clicking the color
name displays the select color dialog box.
Linetype: Changes the line type associated with the selected layers. Clicking any
line type name displays the select Line type color dialog box.
Lineweight: Changes the line weight associated with the selected layers. Clicking
any line weight name displays the select Line weight color dialog box.
Plot Style: Changes the plot style associated with the selected layers. If you are
working with color-dependent plot styles you cannot change the plot style associated
with a layer. Clicking any plot style displays the select plot style dialog box.

Study 5 – ProE
Introduction:
Creo Elements (formerly Pro/Engineer), PTC's parametric, integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE
solution, is used by manufacturers for mechanical engineering, design and manufacturing.

Pro/Engineer was the industry's first rule-based constraint (sometimes called "parametric" or
"variational") 3D CAD modeling system. The parametric modeling approach uses
parameters, dimensions, features, and relationships to capture intended model behavior.

This design approach can be family-based or platform-driven, where the strategy is to use
engineering constraints and relationships to quickly optimize the design, or where the
resulting geometry may be complex or based upon equations. Creo Elements provides a
complete set of design, analysis and manufacturing capabilities on one, integral, scalable
platform. These required capabilities include Solid Modeling, Surfacing, Rendering, Data
Interoperability, Routed Systems Design, Simulation, Tolerance Analysis, and NC and
Tooling Design.

Creo Elements can be used to create a complete 3D digital model of manufactured goods.
The models consist of 2D and 3D solid model data which can also be used downstream in
finite element analysis, rapid prototyping, tooling design, and CNC manufacturing. All data
are associative and interchangeable between the CAD, CAE and CAM modules without
conversion.

A product and its entire bill of materials (BOM) can be modeled accurately with fully
associative engineering drawings, and revision control information. The associativity
functionality in Creo Elements enables users to make changes in the design at any time
during the product development process and automatically update the end products. This
capability enables concurrent engineering – design, analysis and manufacturing engineers
working in parallel – and streamlines product development processes.

Summary of capabilities:

Product Design: Creo Elements offers a range of tools to enable the generation of a complete
digital representation of the product being designed. In addition to the general geometry tools
there is also the ability to generate geometry of other integrated design disciplines such as
industrial and standard pipe work and complete wiring definitions. Tools are also available to
support collaborative development.

A number of concept design tools that provide up-front Industrial Design concepts can then
be used in the downstream process of engineering the product. These range from conceptual
Industrial design sketches, reverse engineering with point cloud data and comprehensive free-
form surface.

Analysis: Creo Elements has numerous analysis tools available and covers thermal, static,
dynamic and fatigue finite element analysis along with other tools all designed to help with
the development of the product. These tools include human factors, manufacturing tolerance,

mould flow and design optimization. The design optimization can be used at a geometry level
to obtain the optimum design dimensions and in conjunction with the finite element analysis.

Surface Modeling: Creo has a good surface modeling capabilities also. Using commands
like Boundary blend and Sweep we can create surface models. Advance options like Style
(Interactive Surface Design Extension - ISDX) and Freestyle provide more capabilities to
designer to create complicated models with ease.

Manufacturing: By using the fundamental abilities of the software with regards to the single
data source principle, it provides a rich set of tools in the manufacturing environment in the
form of tooling design and simulated CNC machining and output.

Tooling options cover specialty tools for molding, die-casting and progressive tooling design.

Study 6 – SolidWorks
SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided
engineering (CAE) computer program that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. While it is
possible to run SolidWorks on MacOS, it is not supported by SolidWorks. SolidWorks is
published by Dassault Systèmes.

SolidWorks is a solid modeler, and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach which was
initially developed by PTC (Creo/Pro-Engineer) to create models and assemblies. The
software is written on Parasolid-kernel.

Parameters refer to constraints whose values determine the shape or geometry of the model or
assembly. Parameters can be either numeric parameters, such as line lengths or circle
diameters, or geometric parameters, such as tangent, parallel, concentric, horizontal or
vertical, etc. Numeric parameters can be associated with each other through the use of
relations, which allows them to capture design intent.

Design intent is how the creator of the part wants it to respond to changes and updates. For
example, you would want the hole at the top of a beverage can to stay at the top surface,
regardless of the height or size of the can. SolidWorks allows the user to specify that the hole
is a feature on the top surface, and will then honor their design intent no matter what height
they later assign to the can.

Features refer to the building blocks of the part. They are the shapes and operations that
construct the part. Shape-based features typically begin with a 2D or 3D sketch of shapes
such as bosses, holes, slots, etc. This shape is then extruded to add or cut to remove material
from the part. Operation-based features are not sketch-based, and include features such as
fillets, chamfers, shells, applying draft to the faces of a part, etc.

Building a model in SolidWorks usually starts with a 2D sketch (although 3D sketches are
available for power users). The sketch consists of geometry such as points, lines, arcs, conics
(except the hyperbola), and splines. Dimensions are added to the sketch to define the size and
location of the geometry. Relations are used to define attributes such as tangency, parallelism,
perpendicularity, and concentricity. The parametric nature of SolidWorks means that the
dimensions and relations drive the geometry, not the other way around. The dimensions in the
sketch can be controlled independently, or by relationships to other parameters inside or
outside the sketch.

In an assembly, the analog to sketch relations are mates. Just as sketch relations define
conditions such as tangency, parallelism, and concentricity with respect to sketch geometry,
assembly mates define equivalent relations with respect to the individual parts or
components, allowing the easy construction of assemblies. SolidWorks also includes
additional advanced mating features such as gear and cam follower mates, which allow
modeled gear assemblies to accurately reproduce the rotational movement of an actual gear
train.

GREGORIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Page 20

REVISION

Finally, drawings can be created either from parts or assemblies. Views are automatically
generated from the solid model, and notes, dimensions and tolerances can then be easily
added to the drawing as needed. The drawing module includes most paper sizes and standards
(ANSI, ISO, DIN, GOST, JIS, BSI and SAC).

SolidWorks files (previous to version 2015) use the Microsoft Structured Storage file format.
This means that there are various files embedded within each SLDDRW (drawing files),
SLDPRT (part files), SLDASM (assembly files) file, including preview bitmaps and
metadata sub-files. Various third-party tools (see COM Structured Storage) can be used to
extract these sub-files, although the subfiles in many cases use proprietary binary file
formats.

SolidWorks allows saving 3D Model information in *.step format, which lets the model be
displayed and modified in other platforms from other vendors.

Study 7 – Piping Layout Drawings

Introduction:
Piping layout shows the is over all dimensions of the plants/system/unit from where the
plants starts and ends which shows the all piping, equipment nozzles, structure, piping
supports, instruments tags, sp items etc. Piping layout is very important for installation of
piping in the site.

Piping layout drawings shall show the piping on plan view and give all the information
required for the preparation of isometric drawings and for erection of the piping. Cross-
section and details shall be drafted on these drawings to facilities the drafting of the
isometrics drawings

The orientation of the drawings shall be indicated on the drawings. If possible it should be
same in all cases. The number of the drawings adjacent to boundaries of the given drawings
shall be indicated.

Contents to be included into the piping layout while preparing:

 Dimensioning:- Unit boundaries, row of pipe racks and structure and equipment shall
be laid out with reference to system of coordinates. The elevations of horizontal
equipment and platforms and the bottom levels of grouped or individual piping, etc
shall be indicated.
 Equipment nozzles:-Tables shall be specifying the characteristics of equipment
nozzles including diameters, rating, elevations, orientations and centre distances.
 Representation of Piping:- In case of piping drawings to a scale of 1/33 or 1/50.
Then piping up to 12 inch diameter shall be shown by singles lines and piping 14
inch and above in diameter shall be shown in double lines. All the piping lines shall
be indentified by the line number as per in process and instruments diagrams. Along
side this number the direction of flow, insulation and tracing shall be
indicated. While preparing the piping layouts drawings designer have to check
the clients project drafting standards and prepare the piping layout drawings
according to that because every client have their different drafting standards. Some
clients want all the piping in double lines in piping layout and some are above
mention. So it varies clients to clients.
 Pipe Supports:- The supports of piping 2 inch and above shall be shown and their
positions identified.
 Instruments:- All instruments in lines or on equipment shall be shown and marked
with identifications appearing on the P & ID in the piping layout drawings
 Special items:- All the special items should be marked in the piping layout
drawings as per piping and instruments drawings. Special items like corrosion
coupons, strainers, flame arrestors etc.

Documents required for piping layout drawings:

 Piping & instrumentation Diagram (P & ID).
 Equipment Layout.
 Piping Specification.

GREGORIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Page 22

 CADD LAB II
2015
REVISION

 Equipment Drawing.
 Vendor Requirement for proprietary equipment.

Codes and standards:

These codes and standards were written to establish minimum requirements for safe design
and construction with very little reference to the physical routing of piping. However, the
piping designer should be familiar with them as they apply to his or her work. There are a
few specific references to physical piping design of safety relief valve arrangements:
 The ASME Boiler and Pressure Code, Section I, Power Boilers, specifies that there is
to be no intervening pipe, valves, or fittings between the safety relief valves and the
vessel or piping to which they are attached. This means that they must be fitting-
bound.
 The ASME B31.1, Power Piping Code, Appendix II, Non-Mandatory Rules for the
Design of Safety Valve Installation, provides guidelines for the physical arrangement
of safety valve piping, the most significant being that the distance between the
centerline of the valve and the centerline of the discharge elbow must not exceed 4
times the nominal pipe size of the relief valve outlet.
The Pipe Fabrication Institute has a series of engineering standards (ES) covering the
fabrication, design, cleaning, and inspection of piping. Three of these standards, listed below,
specifically relate to the physical piping design:
 ES2, Method of Dimensioning Welded Assemblies
 ES3, Linear Tolerances, Bending Radii, Minimum Tangents
 ES7, Minimum Length and Spacing for Welded Nozzles

For piping and valve drawing symbols, refer to ANSI/ASME Y32.2.3, Graphical Symbols for
Piping Fittings, Valves and Piping. It is essential that designers read and understand
applicable codes and standards prior to developing fabrication piping designs.

Representation of pipe fittings:

A pipe fitting can be represented on a drawing by:
 Double line pictorial view
 Single line pictorial view
 Double line orthographic view
 Single line orthographic view
Isometric view is the most commonly used type of pictorial view.

Representation of Valves:
A valve can also be represented on a drawing by:
 Double line pictorial view
 Single line pictorial view
 Double line orthographic view
 Single line orthographic view

Systems of piping drawings:

Two important systems of piping drawings:
 Double line drawing
 Single line drawings
