About this course
My experience
This class what quite an experience especially with the pandemic going on learning how to do mechanical drawling at home and trying your best to figure out how to do it. I learned a lot about mechanical drafting on what tools you need to use and as well as learning the software for Computer Aided Drafting and how much faster and easier it is to do it in the computer. The first thing you do in this course is to do mechanical drawling to get the basics of doing them and then transfer what you do in mechanical to CAD. while doing mechanical drafting it was hard till you eventually get the hang of it. The one problem i mainly have in mechanical drawling is is its always dirty so a tip is to make sure the t-square and any other tools you use to put on top of the paper clean. Also "light layout" will help also. Once you get in Computer aided drafting for me it was really easy to do and i got the hang of it really fast There isn't really any tips i can think for this one cause like i said it really easy.
Evolution of drafting
Mechanical DrawlingThe first technique we learn is mechanical drawling. its done with precision instruments on paper. As well as use to learn many techniques that would apply to the course

Computer Aided DraftingThe second technique we learn is computer aided drafting. its done by using the computer with a hard software and makes things easier than Mechanical Drawings and allowed us to produce more accurate drawings faster and neater than before.

My 3D object This is my own creation. It is a Camaro keychain I made this on Onshape because I wanted to challenge my self to make my own 3D object. The reason I choose to make this also is that I always wanted a Camaro and if I have something to remind me of the dream car I want hopefully I can get one.
