STEPS TO CREATE AUXILIARY VIEWS

1. Create the front and side views and a partial top view, as shown in Figure A. Do not

dimension the views.

2.Create a construction line perpendicular to the line that represents the inclined plane

at the lower end of the inclined line in the front view. To do this, pick the two endpoints of the short end line, as shown in Figure B.

3. Copy the construction line to each important point in the front

view. See Figure C.

4.Copy the inclined line to another location on the construction lines, as shown in Figure D. Use the

Nearest object snap to ensure that the endpoint of the inclined line is exactly on the lowest

construction line.

5. Offset the line you created in step 4 to the right by the depth dimension, .76, as

shown in Figure D. This defines the depth of the object in the auxiliary view.

6. Trim the construction lines to form the other boundaries of the auxiliary view. Use the Layer Control

above the drawing area to move the lines to their appropriate layers: Hidden, Centerline, etc. See Figure E.

7. Add the other centerline, the hole, and other details based on the dimensions given in Figure A above. The finished drawing should look like the one in Figure F.
