Do I make the tab out've lines? Title block and border I'll be able to do during class because the professor hasn't really taught us that yet. It's supposed to be a Metric A style or something?

[ReMark]

Yes, the tab is made out of lines. 12x6 units

 

Metric paper sizes:

 

A0 841x1189

A1 594x841

A2 420x594

A3 297x420

A4 210x297

A5 148x210

A6 105x148

Alright so this is where i'm at now, and I believe I will be using the A1 for this assignment.

Something looks odd. Did you check the diameter of the inner circle? You still have to trim out the circle between the vertical legs of the tabs.

 

A1? In my opinion that is oversized for the drawing you have. Your OD is 154 isn't it? What would you possible do with all that extra space? I think you could do put it on an A4 and it would be fine.

 

Got to go out into the plant for a while.

Hmmm :/ Yes it is, I'll try A4 when I get to class! Just for the sake of time purposes..do you think you can send me the file of completed drawing you did on page one?

[Njprince94]

I am just having trouble with the inner notches..can't seem to figure out how to properly make them like you showed it on the proccess on page one. I get what you did afterwards though.

[ReMark]

I'm not sure if I kept the drawing.

 

You're so close already. You just had to do a little trimming then rotate the tabs and what's left of the circle.

See if this clears things up a bit. After looking at your image again I think your inner circle diameter is OK. It must be my eyesight. LoL

Worked out just fine, thank you so much

[ReMark]

What did you end up with for a paper size?

 

Have you made your title block and border yet?

 

Where did you place your dimensions?
