COURSE DES1050: CAD 1
\nLevel: Introductory
\nPrerequisite: None
\nDescription: Students develop basic knowledge and skills in computer-aided design (CAD).<\/p>\n

For this course, we will continue to develop our skills in Autodesk Inventor, with a focus on creating 2D drawings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using Autodesk Inventor, Complete the following assignments:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Inventor Assignment 1<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Inventor Assignment 2<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Inventor Assignment 3<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Inventor Assignment 4<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dimensioning Presentation: Dimension Guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Dimensions should NOT be duplicated, or the same information given in two different ways.<\/li>\n
    2. No unnecessary dimensions should be used \u2013 only those needed to produce or inspect the part.<\/li>\n
    3. Dimensions should be attached to the view that best shows the contour<\/i><\/b> of the feature to be dimensioned.<\/li>\n
    4. Whenever possible, avoid dimensioning to hidden lines and features.<\/li>\n
    5. Avoid dimensioning over or through the object.<\/li>\n
    6. A dimension should be attached to only one view; for example, extension lines should not connect two views.<\/li>\n
    7. Whenever possible, locate dimensions between adjacent views.<\/li>\n
    8. Avoid crossing extension lines, but do not break them when they do cross.<\/li>\n
    9. Whenever possible, avoid sending extension lines through object views.<\/li>\n
    10. In general, a circle is dimensioned by its diameter and an arc by its radius.<\/li>\n
    11. Holes are located by their centerlines, which may be extended and used as extension lines.<\/li>\n
    12. Holes should be located and sized in the view that shows the feature as a circle.<\/li>\n
    13. Do not cross a dimension line with an extension line, and avoid crossing dimensions with leader lines.<\/li>\n
    14. Leader lines point toward the center of the feature, and should not occur horizontally or vertically.<\/li>\n
    15. Dimension numbers should be centered between arrowheads, except when using stacked dimensions, and then the numbers should be staggered.<\/li>\n
    16. Concentric circles are dimensioned in the longitudinal view, whenever practical.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Inventor Project<\/h2>\n
      \n

      The requirements for the Final Project are as follows:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Choose an object to model in Inventor. You will be given one week of class time (5 hours minimum) to complete the model.<\/li>\n
      2. Object chosen must not be too simple. It must demonstrate your knowledge and skills in inventor. Here are some of the functions we have used in Inventor:\n
