Dartz Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Its my 2nd week of autocad, and my prof gave me this assignment but we haven't covered it in class. Please guide me and teach me how to finish this. If you have skype or any sort of instant messaging please tell me. I am suppose to construct this with the construction lines hidden at the end [/img] Quote
ReMark Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Post an image that shows the dimensions. Ask questions. We will guide you. Nobody here (at least the majority of us) will do your assignment for you. If we did how would YOU learn? Quote
ReMark Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 A quick look tells me the Circle command is obviously going to play a large part in the construction of the object. One option of that command called TTR (tan-tan-radius) will come in handy. The Trim and Mirror commands could be utilized as well. You are familiar with the use of OSnaps right? Quote
CyberAngel Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 As ReMark noted, you will need dimensions to draw these figures correctly. Study the Circle, Line, Offset, and Fillet commands. Don't be afraid to draw temporary lines for placing objects, you can always erase them later. Quote

I want to learn myself because you guys won't be there to help me on the exams I really want someone that has skype or some sort of instant messaging so we can talk quickly Quote
ReMark Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Please post an image that has dimensions and any other pertinent information on it. The words "Will Pay" are in the thread title. Edited January 23, 2013 by ReMark Quote
ReMark Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) I did this without any dimensions. It's close but not exact. The Circle command with TTR option was used in four areas of the drawing. It can also be used when creating the other view. Edited January 23, 2013 by ReMark Quote

ReMark Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) What have you accomplished so far? Anything at all? Is this your first assignment? I looked at the assignment which in this case is actually a set of written instructions on how to create the boiler stay. So you have 1) instructions on how to do it and 2) an image of what it looks like. That, in my opinion, is really all you need. I don't see where anything else would be required. What exactly are you stuck on? I've got a meeting to attend. Someone here will assist you if you post specific questions. Wait a little longer and Dadgad should be up and about. I know he would definitely help you. Good luck. Edited January 23, 2013 by ReMark Quote
welldriller Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 dartz: I fully agree with ReMark, it looks like you have all the information that you need. I would start by making my 5 layers and then going from there. You can freeze the layers that you are not working on if it will help you. You also may be able to set a layer to the color you want and anything in that layer will be that color. Hope I have not confused you but this is a relatively easy project. welldriller Quote
Organic Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Those are a very generous set of assignment instructions. Follow them and post here if you get stuck. Quote
ReMark Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Top view. Front view. After re-reading the instructions this morning I think I now know what the problem might be. It is not clear what the spacing is on the construction lines (red). Maybe I missed it? So, consider what I have show as my "best guess" until I have had time to go over the instructions again. I apologize for not catching this last night. Quote
neophoible Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 It looks like the instructions are repeating most of the dimensions that are evidently given in Figure 4.73 on page 118 of your textbook. However, the place you need to start, as per the instructions, is with the centerlines of the holes, and those are not repeated in the instructions, at least not in full. If you give those dimensions here, or better yet, provide an image of Figure 4.73, then we can get you started perfectly. Otherwise, the instructions seem very detailed, as has been previously mentioned. Quote
Dartz Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 I click on the cut circle next to it and then click enter and when i click on the outside circle. Nothing happens, it just stays.

ReMark Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Why start a thread and not post any information? This is annoying to say the least. Help us to help you by stating the nature of the problem in detail. Quote
Tharwat Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 That's really odd , this is the first time I see a thread without contents . Quote
ReMark Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 It does happen every now and then. Not sure why. Maybe it is someone who is not knowledgeable about how forums, in general, work. Quote
eldon Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I think that the OP is in a bit of a state. He wants to post a drawing, but instead of attaching a DWG file, he has included a link, which is probably being moderated. Quote
Tharwat Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I am almost sure that it's homework . and we should not give complete answer to OP . Quote
