Week 13

Monday - Today i did seven orthographic drawings. I had to find the missing view and then go from orthagraphic to pictorial. These worksheets where college/university, and they were challenging however when we took them up i got them all right, however i sometimes forgot to put in hidden lines.

Tuesday- Today I handed in my orthographic drawings with the corrections done to them. Then we got our final cad drawing, and it seems challenging. We have to do a control bracket. First i started with the grid then did the limits to 150,200. They seem reasonable. Then i started the front view however I am not finished just yet.

Wednesday- Today i continued my final Cad Drawing i did the right side view and the top view. It was very challenging because we had to learn new commanads to make a hexagon. Which was "poly". I will have to add all of my dimensions and hidden lines tommorrow.

Thursday - Today i added the hidden lines to my Final Cad drawing, i still have to add the ceneter lines and the dimensions then i will be done.

Friday - Today i finished up my Final Autocad drawing. this drawing was harder then most of the other ones we have done

Week 12

Monday - started to do our own drawings. Orthographic, we had to figure out the top front view drawing the top view and the right view. And then we had to open it on AutoCad and set up our grid or limits and our dimscale.

Tuesday - Today we learned more about orthographic drawings. Then we continued on the AutoCad orhtographic drawings. Today i only started the second piece which is the right view. I will soon have to add then hidden lines and the dimensions , and then post it onto blogger.

Wednesday- Today i continued to work on my vertical brace in AutoCad. I finished the drawing and then had to finish the measurements because they where on the right view instead of the front view. I then had to change the spacing of how far the views were from eachother. After that i had to change my limits because my right side view was going off the page.

Thursday- Today i put my vertical brace onto paper in AutoCad and uploaded it onto blogger, then i updated my journal from yesterday. After this i was done all of my assignments.

Friday - Was not present, was in Toronto at OCAD
