Welcome to my CAD drafting page.

Assignment A:

Figure's 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d

In the first drawing I did I used the grid and snap command to draw. These where squares, triangles and rectangles. I learned how to be able to draw with these new commands. These skills will help me design new land scape on video games. Some projects I could use these tools for would be making graphs, carts, logos, and games. I needed to make sure that the snap command was on not off. I didn't run into any problems with these commands. I hope to use these command to make good designs and better video games.

Assignment B

Figure 3a

Figure 3b

In these drawings I worked with key in line commands, grid, and snap command. The key in line command you give coordinates for each end point. I learned to enter coordinates from a chart to a grid. I could use this skill to make graphs and charts in my math work, and later on in life organizing money. I had to make sure I entered all the data right, and learn how to use my back and F10 key when i need to start a new line. I was successful because I was careful with typing in the number and information correctly.

4a,4b,4c In these drawings I learned the mesh command. This makes a screen like design or like a net between to objects. This is almost like making 3D graphics, which could be used in real life for movies, video games, cartoons, design patterns for clothing and house hold products. Using the mesh command I learned to be very careful in choosing a position on a line. If you click on the ends of both lines it doesn't curve. I made drawings that are good and show three dimensions. Now that I know how to do mesh designs I know how to be more creative.

4-7,10-7

In these next drawing I learned how to make many sided figures. I created a polygon and learned how to use line strings to make designs inside the polygon. Everything I learned will help me build on other project that I that become even more difficult. These designs are used as signs on the roads, restaurants, building designs, and making computer software. When you are using the line string and divide lines you need to be accurate and to be able to delete lines when you need to. If not the design would not look right. I was able to create these designs with no problems.

8-65



The last work I did involved single lined squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. This work has doubled lined rectangles involved. I have learned double lined drawing, how to use the trim line button, the command to make parallel lines, and dimensioning. Teach me how to do things more correctly and with more high tech skill. These skills are used to help build things correctly. I think buildings, walk ways, foundations, computer cases, and for carpets or flooring for your home. I had trouble understanding the trim tool. The way I figured it out was trying them and if it looked wrong I would undo it. I was able to complete the project and understood most of it. I didn't give up and got it done after trying different trim methods. In the future if I have a problem I know not to give up and keep trying.

8a - Sheet Stamping

8b - Shearing Blank

This time I learned how to make things symmetrical. (which is even on both sides) I learned what symmetrical means and I learned how to make something with the same measurements on both sides. If you folded it it would be on both sides. It will me make things match in the future. In the world you have to make walls on buildings balanced or it will fall,and making a automobile it has to be balance. I had a hard time finding the command to which the sides over. I looked fo it and when I still couldn't find it I asked the teacher. I looked back in the book for help when I was stuck and if I couldn't answer it I would asked the teacher or the person next to me for help.

9a - T-gram

9b - Bunny

In the T-Gram and the Bunny drawing I used the polar coordinate command to find location. I learned vertical and horizontal lines. You need to know which one to used to keep something standing. When you are setting up something and it has to fit in the space given these skills will come in handy. Things in the real world that use these skills are bikes, cars, computers T.v.'s, and cabinets. Finding the coordinates to use to make these. I looked in the book and tried to get the angle and size of the line and if I couldn't get it I asked the teacher. I found the coordinates and found the size of the lines from in the book. I could double check what I did before I say I am done.
