Penn Foster Oleson Village Project Check

[Batman]

I'm new to this site and I was wondering if someone could look over my drawing for my Penn Foster Oleson Village project and make sure I was on the right track. i have attached it here.
By the way, this site has been a godsend for this project. I don't think I would have gotten this far without the info I found here. Thanks for doing what you do.

You need to warn when you are posting something from an Educational Version. Perhaps you can post a screenshot

Don't worry about posting edu dwg file.
AutoCAD gives warning when opening and CANNOT POSSIBLY INFECT another user's work UNLESS they try to use your work as their own (which is their problem - not yours).
So in general, there is absolutely nothing wrong with posting a edu file.

However since this work is a common assignment it might be likely that someone WILL try to turn your work in as their own.

Without looking very hard I found a couple of duplicate lines - not good practice.

Many times in the drawing you use three or four lines when one would do. Do not string lines end to end in a straight run, simply draw one line. Use the join command to make each of them one line. Do not draw on layer 0, everything I checked was on layer 0.

If the lines in the center of the street were center lines then you need a layer for that with that linetype defined so they show as center lines.

I don't know about the Oleson Village assignment so I can't comment on the project work you have shown.

I think you need to re-read the instruction for setting up your drawing.

The layers and colors represent different objects in the drawing.

Always post screen shots, not the drawings, this will protect your work.

Screen shots would not reveal some of the problems indicated here - I would post the dwg unless there is something in the assignment specs that rules against posting the file.

This project has been covered here in several threads. I suggest that you use the Search feature above and type in "Penn-Foster".

Yes, JD you are correct, but this drawing is an exam drawing that has just beem made available to any one taking this course.

So I will have to agree to differ about posting this drawing. A drawing from Penn Foster should not be posted on this forum at all. Other PF students that frequent this site will have a free drawing that they did not produce.

Just my thoughts, I am willing to help them by answering their questions. IMHO they should do the drawing themselves.

Just to put this into perspective, How would you grade a project one of your students turned in that was not their own work?

Sorry Everyone. This is new to me. I have deleted the file and have added a pdf of the drawing. I was actually instructed to draw everything on layer 0 and transfer it to the respective layers after. Not sure how to do that yet. Thanks for all the input. I have looked at all the info from this site. That's what got me this far. I was just looking for a quick overview to see if I was on the right track.

The instructions should have you setting up all your layers first then drawing the proper objects on the proper layers. Why they have the student draw everything on layer "0" first then change objects to different layers later on is beyond me.

Do you even know how to create a new layer?
