The following are tips on getting a decent grade on your drawings for your design assignments.

• The premise here is to make your drawings as neat and as readable as possible eliminating errors and ambiguity. 
• Remember, in the real world, mistakes and ambiguity cost time and money.
• In this class these mistakes will impact your grade.
• Always present your best work, fix your own mistakes!
• Double check your work before giving it to others. 
• Check it on screen first
• If any errors are found correct them before printing
• Check the printed copy second
• If any errors are found make the corrections then reprint.
• If I find these mistakes and mark up your work it will affect your grade.

The list below may be modified as the quarter progresses:

Appearance:
• Center your drawing views in the drawing area so that it fills the page without over crowding or leaving excess space.
• Try to provide equal spacing between your drawing views and the top and bottom of the page as well as from the left and right
• This includes drawn objects as well as notes and dimensions.
• The spacing between the drawing views and the border of the drawing should be about half of the spacing between each of the drawings views in the field of the drawing.
• Dimension your drawing views according to conventional standards
• Move dimensions around to avoid "crowding"
• Include the word "TYPICAL" following dimensions that can apply to similar items in the same view such as a series of holes, fillets or row and column offsets.
• The isometric view should have no dimensions in it. 
• Properly fill in your title block, with CAPITALS only.
• Provide an appropriate sheet scale (a scale that applies to every view in your drawing):
• Use standard scales such as
• Metric: 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:10 and similar multiples.
• SAE: 1:1, 1:2 (6" = 1'-0"), 1:4 (3" = 1'-0"), 1:6 (2" = 1'-0"), 1:8 (1-1/2" = 1'-0"), 1:12 (1" = 1'-0"), 1:16 (3/4" = 1'-0") and similar multiples of 2,4 and 8.
• Automatic scales added such as 1:3, 1:7. 1.5:1 and other non traditional scales need to be modified to standard scales.
• Label each view with its own scale if it is different from the sheet scale.
• The isometric view should have no scale label on it.
• Provide a proper View Title, in CAPITALS with UNDERLINED TEXT.
• Position the View Title centered under the drawing view.
• The View Title should have the following information answered in the following order top to bottom, what is it? what view is it? what scale is it (if different from the sheet scale)? and any note references that apply to that view. 
• Label each view with its own scale if it is different from the sheet scale.
Avoid duplicate information, this leads to ambiguity.

The following is how your Title Block should look for the drawings due this week.  Make any additions and corrections necessary as shown below.  Make sure you make these corrections to your template files. 

To change the units go to "sheet format" right click on the text block, choose "Properties" and make your text changes. Your "Name" (company name), "Initials" (drawn by), and "Date" (drawn date (use a current date)) are set by selecting the "Properties" option from the "File" pull down menu, choosing the "Custom" tab and selecting and filling out the appropriate entry.  The "Part Description" is imported from your part or assembly being inserted into your drawing.  The sheet scale is set when you import a part or assembly and will change when this is modified on the sheet.  The drawing file name is what you name the drawing file.  All the text in your drawing should be CAPITALS excepting the drawing file name.

• Follow the step by step approach in the book.
• Follow every step, missing or changed elements not reflected in your drawings will be graded off.
• The following image has the inch equivalents to the metric tolerance inclusion in the title block.  Include this for all of your inch drawings.

• There will be two drawings.

• This drawing contains geometric tolerancing and other similar callouts.
• Refer to the "Student Resources" link above and then the "Portion of the text named 'Engineering Graphics and Design'" link on at that page for an 18 page description of the various geometric tolerancing symbols and their meanings.  Questions on this material will also be on Tuesday's examination and on examination 2.

PROJECT NO. 4 

Skip the part in the beginning, lines 1-45.  This involves templates that we already have established.  However, for the dual units use inches on top (dual units on bottom).  Also skip the part on Mold Tools 4-70 to the end of the section (a potential choice for your final project).

Combine the BATTERY and BATTERY PLATE on one sheet and the BULB  and LENS on the second sheet. 

• Provide 2 views plus the isometric view. 
• Dual units with inches as primary and on top.
• "B" sized sheet-landscape, Sheet scale 1:2 insert and label the BULB at 2:1
• Do not include material or finish but provide the words "VARIES" for the material section and "NONE" in the finish section.
• Hidden Lines Visible in the BATERY and BATTERY PLATE front views, for the BULB in the front and isometric views and for the LENS in all views.
• Provide a detail view of the BATTERY PLATE  to display the multiple radius fillets.
• Provide other views as needed to display any other details that may seem appropriate.
• For the LENS suppress the "Lens Shield" to make the seat of the bulb visible in the front view, insert the Hole Callout as a model item.

Create each of the items shown in the book including the cup, glass, vase and tray (4 total).  You have liberty with design. 

• Units are your choice. 
• "A" sized sheet, landscape, handed in via the "Box"
• 2 views with an isometric view 
• Fill in the Title Block

Details on the design portion of Examination No. 2 follow below. 
These items can be accomplished before and used for the exam. 

Create the following, building on your design from Examination No. 1

Extra credit will be offered on extra details added to any feature as long as it adds to either the form or function of the overall design.  Examples include, but are not limited to, treads on the tire, axle caps with flourishes (think, Ben Hur and the chariot race scene), fenders, head lights, a brace connecting the Back Legs, a pour spout on the front of the Barrow, streamers and hand guards on the handle.

Modifications to the Examination No. 1 parts include a new hole 10 inches behind the last hole in the Side Mount to allow for the attachment of the Back Leg.

The Wheel Mount will now be two different parts, Wheel Mount Left and Wheel Mount Right.  Prior to the exam, delete the holes in the Wheel Mount before making a copy and renaming them.  Both of these will be modified "in context" with the assembly during the exam.

We will create a new assembly and name it "Wheel Barrow".  Make certain that all of your parts from Examination No. 1 have been corrected, see your markups from the last exam.  Insert the axle (built with the profile on the right plane) "fixed" to the origin in the new assembly.  Next, add the Wheel Assembly as a sub-assembly.  With the center hole, provide a concentric relation to the axle and with the right plane of the sub-assembly a coincident relation with the right plane of the assembly. Add the Front Connector and the Side Mounts without any relations with the Axle and the Wheel Assembly sub-assembly yet (we will finish this during the exam).  Mate the right plane of the Front Connector  to the right plane of the assembly.  Mate the Side Mounts to the Front Connector like we did for Examination No. 1.  AThe bears in the back ground seem rather content.  I don’t understand the behavior, but If bears are like dogs, smelling the rear end of your own kind is a pursuit my dogs certainly enjoy.   the Wheel Mounts to the Side Connectors with the left one on on the left side when facing the front while holding the handles.

Details on the drawing portion of this design will be available during the exam.
