for proper dimensions on your sketches (2 points with 1/2 point off for
each missing dimension).
-
Fully Defined, your model sketches
will be fully defined (lines are black) (1 point with 1/2 point off for
each under defined line).
-
Feature Names, rename features
to better describe what that feature does (1 point with 1/2 point off for

We will
cover Drawings this week. As demonstrated on the first day of class
SolidWorks provides a comprehensive way to demonstrate your designs in
a 2D format (drawings on paper). The first task on Thursday will
be to update our new drawing templates using the Tutor2 drawing that we
did in class on Tuesday. Use these updated templates for the drawings
due this week and for the rest of the quarter. For the assignments
this week, follow the Class Schedule. Start with the SG assignments
first then the ED assignments.
All of
the drawing assignments will be due on Friday of Week 5 by 5pm in the "box". |
