      "arc" to create an arc. it doesn't have to be perfect. just create the arc with two endpoints of your liking (roughly centered). post the image when you can so that I may review it before the due date if you can.

      Can you give us the measurements for the assignment n1? Or can you be more precise on what you want us to do? I am kinda confused with how you want us to do the homework, and I would appreciate the help, thank you

        20' long x 10' wide x 10' high. The grid is 1' x 1'.

        I recommend that you take notes on the commands. Focus on that. The rest is a whole lot of practicing. You will NOT memorize all of this without taking notes.

      About the plot command, how is that you change the line weight? Could you explain it?...also I have a Mac and I want to figure out how to do it with CAD for mac

        I do not know how this is done on MACs. A couple of people had figured it out in class and they announced, in class, they they would help anyone with this issue. I also announced this in class and pointed out the individuals that figured it out. please try and resolve the issue before Monday. I recommend either asking around or Google search the issue. Typing "Plot style table on MAC" would be a good start.

      What kind of colors should we use for the axonometric? It's hard to determine front and back on something that is 3D.

        Also, I have a student version of AutoCAD and it has a watermark when it is plotted. Is that okay and is there a way to remove it?

      2. Eduardo Calil JrAugust 23, 2012 at 3:03 PM

        The colors for the Axo are Magenta and Blue. We are not taking into account the depth for those.

        The watermark is fine for this assignment. If you wanted to be rid of it, you may Photoshop it out. This is what you will need to do once the Midterm and Final assignments are dues.

      Is it fine if we use the line weights .05mm , .25mm , and .40mm for the mac version of AutoCAD? They are the closest preset line weights.

        I would prefer that you do not. We will be dealing with even more lineweights next class. Some of which may be using those LW numbers. CAD lets you customize some LW. Try Google searching if you are not certain how to do this or you can wait until Monday's class. I recommend doing a little research in order to not leave things to the last minute.

      When I try to Plot, set the DWG to PDF, then set the to Scale 1/8" = 1'-0", then set the Paper Size to 11" x 17", I try the preview and it shows a really small image of my work, the image is set on the 11"x17" paper. It seams the scale is wrong, but I checked it and its right. I tried fit to page and the image shows up in a better scale.
      I am missing a step? Please advice. Thanks in advance.

        Check that you made the drawing at the right scale. Go step by step. Worst case scenario, Google/Youtube search or ask anyone who has already posted it correctly if you see them around. Ask me after class next time as well. I'm usually there for a while after.
