Please help me! Autocad drawing...

[Cad64]

I don't think he's coming back.

[ReMark]

I think he dropped the class in favor of one about accounting.

[TheoX]

No, you guys, I didn't quit. Stop acting so anti-social.

 

I just came home, and read your reply, I will test out the command, if it works the 1st time, I thank you, if it doesn't, I will put someone who owe me to do it.

[Cad64]

Anti-social?

 

We're just wondering what happened to you. You've been absent for the last 4 days after requesting urgent help to get this work done. I think it was a pretty logical assumption that you weren't coming back.

 

Don't give up so easily. If it doesn't work out exactly right the first time, you may have to try it a 2nd or 3rd time. But if you follow along with the video tutorial that I linked you to previously, you should have no trouble creating this part.

[TheoX]

I will try, but I don't think I can do it today since I have something else to do (things I know and can do myself).

 

Let me tell you one think, think of this situation. I know a person who is an accountant, and one of the best around my town, and needs to operate a computer. She knows to operate a computer, but whenever she have some advanced software/hardware problems she comes and ask for my help, and help means me going there and fixing whatever problem she have. Would it be nice to tell her: "Do it yourself, learn that, and if you have a problem, call me again!"? Really would it be nice? No, because I haven't lost my sense of humanity and I help whoever I can with what I know. Because one day, maybe I will need help from that person too, and I wouldn't want to recive the same answer back, and that problem could be urgent...

 

As I said, I don't want to learn AutoCAD, I know that whatever I want to work in the future, won't need it EVER, so why filling my head up? Please give me an answer, and think about my example!

[Cad64]

Let me answer your question by asking you a few questions. Why is Autocad a part of your course if you will NEVER need it? And regardless of whether you think you will ever need it or not, it is part of the course, so why should we do your coursework for you? It's your class and it's your education, so why wouldn't you want to get the most out of it?

 

And your example is not relevant. You are in school, not working in an office somewhere. You are being graded on your work, and whether you pass the class or not is dependent on the work you submit. So if we create the part for you, that means you are taking credit for our work. That's called cheating.

 

And as for helping, that's exactly what we have done here. We have given you all the information you need in order to proceed and create this part. So why haven't you at least tried to do it yourself? That is really the part that is troubling me. The fact that you have not even tried.

[TheoX]

Ok, i'm there, I got the revolve funtion waiting, i managed to remove the line, but my problem is that I can't visualize the 2d... I tried something but it's not quite what I need!...

 

I'm goint to attach you 2 screenshots. This is considered help, so someone can help me and tell me were I'm wrong when I've done the 2D model that needs to be revolved, or if I have mistaken the points of revolving.

 

I chose the first time the bottom line on 0--x axis, and the second time the first line from 0--y axis.

 

 

Also I can see on the figure 3 lines internal (like the part is made out of 3 parts, 2 small and one slightly larger) is that made separately with pline, or the figure must be revolved @ 45 degrees (i think) instead of 90 (like I did in the screens attached)? Also x2, is it ok if I used the function EXPLODE to remove the extra internal lines?

[SLW210]

See post #20 by ReMark, your profile should be similar to that, also notice the revolve axis offset to create the hole. If done properly, no need to explode.

[ReMark]

Believe when I say if I were being anti-social you'd know it.

 

I too thought you had given up completely thus my reference to accounting.

 

I 100% agree with everything SLW210 has written thus far.

 

Do NOT explode anything. You're looking at a 2Dwireframe so you are going to see things you normally would not see if your visual style were conceptual or realistic.

[ReMark]

The sequence as shown using a 2Dwireframe visual style.

[ReMark]

The same drawing/view but this time I've used a conceptual visual style.

 

Create your profile.

 

Revolve it.

 

Rotate it into position.

[TheoX]

Ok, as I see in your drawing, you have a similar 2D just like I did, so that, I think I did correctly (please correct me id I'm wrong), But I didn't quite understand how you manage to revolve it like that. In the first drawing (just the one with the lines, no revolving) is it somehow bent, or is it just 2D? Can you somehow show me the process of revolving for my example, meaning how the final picture shows exactly like my homework, and not like my noob version?

[TheoX]

Those style I understand how to use, but please be more specific (As I said, the REVOLVE command was... unexpectedly easy to use, but I don't have the time anymore, yeah, I was a little more dumb I didn't listen to you the first time, and now...

 

Ok, so to build my crippled part I used the following commands: ZOOM, PAN, PLINE, REVOLVE, ROTATE3D. What are the next commands to use?

[ReMark]

You can use the 3DRotate command or the "Gizmo" as it is called to reorient your 3D model. I still use the old school method of changing the orientation on my UCS then using the normal rotate command.

 

You do realize I made both images while I was in an isometric view of the model don't you?

[TheoX]

I don't know about those views: I have used just used 2d wireframe and conceptual.

 

Right now it would be easy to just save the pictures, use some photoshop magic to make them look good on that page, and print them. But no, I got here, I want to finish it.

[ReMark]

You can find them in your 3D Modelling workspace on the Home tab > View panel right under the Visual Styles drop-down box. You might see the words Unsaved View. That's the right area.

[TheoX]

OK, I'm there, I managed to do the part as close as I could like in the book.

 

Now I have a question. How can I do the same part again, but now solid. I copied the part, I select the realistic view, and I get both the parts filled or both the parts with wireframe.

 

How can I do that, in the same project? The final phase would be to transform both objects as a block and insert them into the final paper.

 

Here is my object, my final draw, is it right?

 

 

I found a solution. I render the file and add it as a PNG.

 

I will come back with a PDF Attachment so you can check it and give me the OK!

Found solution.

[tzframpton]

No, because I haven't lost my sense of humanity and I help whoever I can with what I know.

Nobody here lost their sense of humanity either. You tried to impose your will on a few in here and that, my friend, is zero sense of humanity. If you want to volunteer your services to your acquaintances then that's your choice.

 

Simply put, the people on this board want to teach you to fish, not catch you a fish for the day. Nobody here denied you outright at helping you at all - they all simply didn't want to further enable you to slide through your assignment in an immoral manner.

 

But I see that you definitely have a firm gasp on the assignment which is fantastic. You may never use AutoCAD in your career but that doesn't exclude the fact you did commit to a course in which AutoCAD is needed for your assignments. Most people here do have a higher standard in holding people accountable but I've never seen anyone not offer to help, if it is genuine.

 

Also remember that we see a lot of students who have 1 post, and they request that someone "do it for me". Taking that into consideration, I'm sure you can appreciate the hesitation from the members on this forum.

 

Glad you accomplished your task and don't hesitate to return for any future assignments. We'll all be glad to help you along.

 

[TheoX]

This is my final product. Did I do well?

 

[tzframpton]

Superb model!! That's good work right there.
