Learners examine the basic types of dimensioning including unidirectional and aligned systems, and linear, aligned, angled, arrowless, chain, datum, chart, tabular, radius, diameter, typical, and reference dimensions.

The learner will define indirect measurement, identify common indirect measuring tools, and select the proper measuring tool for the situation.

In this interactive and animated object, learners examine orthographic projection and the Glass Box Theory. Front, side, and top view development is demonstrated with pictorial views of each object to help develop 2D to 3D visualization skills.

Learners examine the formulas for calculating work in ft-lb units and power in ft-lb/min. units.

In this animated activity, learners observe how pressure values throughout a hydraulic system are developed based on pump pressure and the size of the load.

Learners review guidelines for the proper use of a dial caliper. Illustrations appear throughout the learning object.

Learners follow a methodical approach for the dc analysis of series-parallel circuits.

In this interactive object, learners review how to read a caliper. They then test their skills with eight practice questions.
