SLW210 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Youtube is ripe with video tutorials as well as all of the tutorials available here at CADTutor. And, of course, just ask away on here. Quote
ReMark Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 AutoCAD tutorials can also be found at mycadsite.com. Quote
Dadgad Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Hello Jay, welcom to CADTutor. I think the site which ReMark suggested is very good, I used it 6 years ago when I was teaching myself. It is a well and logically structured set of short lessons. http://www.mycadsite.com/tutorials/index.htm#view3 Just work your way through them, don't skip around. They go pretty quickly and will show you what you need to know, when you need to know it. Quote

ReMark Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Either post a copy of the drawing (not an image) or tell us what the problem seems to be. No response? Did you figure it out? Edited August 13, 2014 by ReMark Quote
JD Mather Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 ....im drawing a hole saw....having trouble with the teeth..any suggestions Trim surface Thicken Array Union Quote
ReMark Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Could it have been the teeth that were giving you trouble? Quote
aguilar6 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 yes.....im working on it slowly but surely.... this is a skill i need to master within the next year feels a tad like photoshop Quote
ReMark Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 There are probably two or three ways the task could be accomplished. I created a single tooth then did a polar array. After I was done and satisfied with the results I unioned the separate parts. Quote
