Considering the function of the entire system Breaking it down into subassemblies or components based on major functions Each part is manufactured and assembled

The design process starts at the part level Individual components are sized and designed Final assembly is built around the design of the parts

Some parts are standardized Other parts are designed within the context of fitting into the design of the assembly

Constraining 3D Assemblies
With constraint based modeling software, assembly constraints create relationships between modeled parts The first part added to the assembly becomes the parent part
Other parts are mated to the parent part to build up the assembly

Constraining 3D Assemblies
Subassemblies are groups of components of a larger machine Breaking products into subassemblies can make it easier to coordinate when different designers are working on portions of the same device

An assembly layout or skeleton assembly can be used to define locations of individual parts in an assembly
Parts are designed so they link to a skeleton framework in the assembly The skeleton is a 3D drawing that defines major relationships in the assembly

Assembly Sections
In assembly sections it is necessary to show cut surfaces and distinguish between adjacent parts
To accomplish this, section lines are drawn in opposing directions In relatively thin parts, section lines should be left out or shown solid black Bolts, nuts, keys, etc. are left unsectioned

Drawing Revisions
An accurate record of changes made to released drawings is tracked via a revision block The record of revisions should show:
What change was made By whom the change was made When the change was made Why the change was made

Simplifying Drawings
To simplify drawings:
Use word descriptions when practical Do not show unnecessary views Use standard symbols and abbreviations Avoid elaborate, pictorial, or repetitive details List rather than draw standard parts
