Can I get some proofing?

Wow to the lat post, That looks amazing. And I agree. But they are teaching us to draw it by hand so we learn the fundementals, too bad we have to learn through google.

 

And the Tutorial is www.barber.b.sardissecondary.ca/files/the%20flanged%20elbow.doc. I modiefied it the first time and I think I grasped the concept extremelyfast.

Looks like your in good hands so I will take my leave. Good luck.

Hey ReMark. I am having troubles converting it to 2-D. It looks like crap. I am trying to use solview and I tried solprof, yet it gives me the same result. I am using autocad 2006 and it does not have flatshot. Any tips>?

[ReMark]

Look in our AutoLISP Archive for the lisp routine called Flatten.

 

SolView needs to be used in conjunction with SolDraw.

 

SolProf works independent of any other command.

So I tried the flatten technique but it keeps freezing? If anyone is able to get it to work can you let me know how?

I have been teaching for more than 15 years - back to the drawing board days. I can't figure out what fundamentals can't be taught using a modern CAD program. I must be missing something. Perhaps if I had started with charcoal on a cave wall....

[ReMark]

Go to this website and download/try the routine called Flat.lsp and see if it works. I've never encountered anyone reporting that Flatten.lsp froze up on them.

Alphabetical listing. Scrolling down.

"...charcoal on a cave wall..."

 

Can't get much more fundamental than that. Well, maybe drawing in the dirt with a stick.

I agree with you, however judging from a lot of what we see in here only the software is being taught and not the drafting and design. Kind of like using a calculator to teach math but not really teaching the math, just pushing buttons. This is not directed at the OP, just a general comment.

[ReMark]

It seems as though we have had several students post requests for homework or final assignment help complain about their teachers. Makes me wonder what credentials are required to teach a CAD course at some colleges.

To ReMark, It is astonashing. It's all politics. My Physics teacher is learning physics as he teaches us and our math teacher is a engineer who just so happens to be marrying the dean of the college's daughter.
