Resumen

The difficulties of representation and understanding of the dimension are evident in the different educational levels. University education is no stranger to this situation. This communication was developed within the framework of the graphic design course. This course was designed under the use of specialized software in geometry, which was freely available and intuitive. It should be remembered that the adequate use of representations and attributes proper to the dimension aids in the representations of movement phenomena, as well as in the representations in force diagrams in the teaching of physics. This qualitative research aims to address aspects of representation and dimensionality from the description of some selected tasks of the group participants, who contrast the first representations, with their final activities. That is, these representations showed their evolution in construction, to the extent that the flat representations of objects in the portfolio were built in real dimensions, keeping the proportional relationship between its parts.
