Assembly drawings

While in an exploded drawing we see the components of an object aligned and floating out, in assembly drawings we draw the orthographic of an assembled setup. Most frequently we either assemble a setup from a pictorial or from another orthographic seperate component view. Either way we need to work out how all the pieces fit together in our minds and then draw it on paper. To help with this visualisation aspect, we have included video animations with the exercises.
