kuwait Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 hellooooooooooo:) i need your help guys to draw this figure in autocad is the heigt = 60 width=(88+12+24+12+20) ?? depth=48 Quote
ReMark Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 What are you having a problem with? We don't mind answering questions, demonstrating a technique, etc. but we do not do other people's homework assignments. Are we clear? Quote
kuwait Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 yes its clear iam not asking u to do it i just want to know are W,D,H right ? Quote
ReMark Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 12+24+12+88. The 20 is NOT included. 48 - 20 -16 = 12 ( the missing dimension). H = 60. Quote
MikeScott Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 You listed the width incorrectly. Dammit reMark! Quote
MikeScott Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 They're labelled.. do the math to get it. Ohh.. you're confused by the 3d..? That part right there is just part of the vertical face which is hidden by the rest of the part. The height is... hey! that's a textbook question.. nice try. If you meant the width, you've written the answer down in pencil at the bottom of your image.. but that doesn't tell you THAT width, it tells you the other side. Try shading-in the faces by hand.. no shading if it faces up, slightly darker if it faces to the left, and even darker where it faces to the right. You'll see the shape easier if you're having trouble figuring out how the dimensions apply to it. It might also help to handdraw the dotted lines of the hidden side of the part. There IS something else missing, that would stop you from accurately recreating this part. I won't say what it is though because that's probably one of your questions about the exercise. It doesn't help you learn if you come here asking for answers rather than instructions. Quote
kuwait Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 >> iam not trying to cheat here i just wanna to learn i missed so many classes in autocad because i was sick Quote
MikeScott Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Learn by doing.. try making the part and see where you run into trouble. You have to try that kinda' stuff or you will forever be behind in that class and not understand what anyone is doing. Here's a clue though.. if you were drawing this from a top view, by hand with a ruler, you'd run into the same issue. Nothing to do with CAD itself. Quote
kuwait Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 is there any good book you know that may help me in autocad ? Quote
Cad64 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Take a look at our FAQ on this subject: http://www.cadtutor.net/faq/questions/18/What+is+the+best+book+to+learn+AutoCAD%3F Quote
kuwait Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 thank you so much cad64 i have to depend on my self coz when i ask they think that iam trying to cheat but this is not me Quote
MikeScott Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 lol Perfect except for that one faked item. 4 minutes is pretty damn good, I'd take a little longer than that, but I've got an AutoCAD 2004 handicap to contend with. hmm.. turn on it's side, make a 16 thick box, then make a -3 subtraction box for the recessed face and make the slot with extruded circles and a quad-cornered bridging box at the same time. Subtract, draw some circles attached at their quads, then pline over the appropriate circle edges and extrude for the 40 part Move the 16 thick part up 12 inches, Union, and then add the unknown fillet. Rotate to the desired viewing angle in 3d-orbit. voila! So maybe 6 minutes? Quote

Tankman Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 And Kuwait, how did you do? Sure had a lot of dimensions on the drawing, had ALL the dimensions needed. Quote
MikeScott Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 hah! took me more like 15 minutes.. though I still didn't have that radius. You sure all the dims are there? I'm rusty on my circle commands.. I suddenly realized that I don't have that kind of button handy. "C" used to be the copy command on old AutoCAD, so I lost time going "ci"? "cc"? and then finally going to the pulldown to get it, and trying to remember how 2p worked. I guess it's been awhile since I've done them "under speed." I usually take my time and the stuff I need circles for at work are all section detail stuff that I have blocks made for already. I'm also new to the box command, believe it or not. I've always extruded plines, but I decided I'd follow my steps.. regardless of what direction the boxs shot-off in... they were still faster than the pline box extrusions.. lol If I did it again, I'd probably hit just under 10 minutes.. the slot and depression went smoothly enough.. the only thing was the way the raduses came together, but I remembered the geometry tricks for getting those to work.

JD Mather Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 hah! took me more like 15 minutes.. though I still didn't have that radius. You sure all the dims are there? There is one radius dimension missing. I had to make the assumption that the R8 was TYP. Quote
