Drawings of Parts with Rotational Geometry
Drawings of Parts with Rotational Geometry
(OP)
Does anyone have any good practices for making 2-D drawings of parts with rotational geometry? Below is an example of an impeller I am working on. I would like to "automatically" create a 2-D side drawing similar to the last one, which I manually created.
I am interested in hearing your practices for how you handle parts like this. The side views and section views that are automatically created are too cluttered an aren't much use to the machinist. I would also appreciate any references you can offer on this topic (either internet sources or books).

You may also wish to do a detail of the first section that focuses on the directors for close up dimensioning. Just some ideas. Good luck!
