Computer Aided Design II

 First Semester Outline

 

Welcome back! This course will extend your basic understanding of CAD to another dimension. Three very powerful CAD programs are now available to you, AutoCAD 2000, 3D VIZ, and ArchiCAD. These programs are very impressive and powerful tools and you will have a chance to work with each during the course. Because this is a mixed class you will be required to use the reference materials extensively for assistance in your drawings.

 

The following is a list of assignments for the first quarter. All written assignments are to be done in word. All drawings must be plotted with appropriate title block and scale.  Most plots will be on B size paper.

 

Document Storage: All projects are to be stored on the ITServer in your personal folder. Do NOT share your drawings with anyone else or leave them on the local drive where they can be copied. Be sure to log off of your computer at the end of each period.

 

Special Project: It is suggested that you choose a project soon in the semester so you can work on it throughout the course. The project must have a practical use. Ideally the drawing would be for someone else (you could make some money on this project if you plan it right). Some examples could include plans for a room addition or renovation, deck plans, updated drawings for the shop teacher. You must receive instructor approval for the project before you begin. You may use class time to go to the job site if needed to obtain measurements or other details. You must submit your project proposal by February 11.

 

Professional Portfolio: This is a collection of your best work that demonstrates your level of competency with CAD. Your portfolio should include a cover letter introducing yourself and your drawings, a resume and a description page for your drawings. The portfolio is due at the end of each semester. Failure to submit a portfolio results in a failing grade.

 

Drawing Assignments: From AutoCAD and its Applications by Shumaker

Review Assignment: See handout. Plot on B size paper.

 

Create your own personalized title blocks that you will use for ALL drawings. You should create title blocks for A, B, C and D size drawings. Plot all four title blocks on one D drawing.

       

 

 

AutoCAD and its applications ADVANCED

 

Personalized Title Blocks

Create your own personalized title blocks that you will use for ALL drawings. Each title block must include a Company Name, Company Logo, Dwg Name:, Drawn By:, Date:, and Scale:. You will save each title block as a block and then insert it into your layout for each drawing. You should create title blocks for A, B, C and D size drawings. Plot the A and B size plots on ONE B size paper and all four title blocks on one D drawing. Keep in mind that each plotting device has its own plotting lmits, the HP printer cannot plot an 11 X 8.5 drawing so be sure to leave a margin around each title block. Here is a list of the paper sizes for engineering drawings: Hint, create your A size title block and then scale it up accordingly.

Drawing Size

Size in Inches
A
11 X 8.5
B
17 X 11
C
22 X 17
D
34 X 22
E
44 X 34

Chapter 1: Introduction to Three-Dimensional Drawing
NOTE: All three dimensional drawings must always be plotted in three viewpoints.

Chapter 2: Three-Dimensional Coordinates and Constructions

In creating 3D drawings this chapter is extremely important. The ability to move the UCS to any position relative to your drawing is vital in creating 3D drawings. Take this chapter slow and easy and work through each example.
