18 filler. This week I was working with cutting at a slanted angle instead of just an angle.The was a little bit harder but it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. In the end it wasn't that bad The skill I learned this week was how to cut at a angle and have it go out. These skills could be applied in the real world because I might have to cut at a angle with different widths on each end. A way I was successful this week was cutting the angle. That would help me in the future of the coarse because every drawing is starting to have to have a cut on each angle. A problem I had thing week was knowing what 3 points to pick. I went about this problem by looking in the book and it told me what order to click the points in. A way I was creative this week was is getting all my dimensions to look the way their suppose to be.

Dovetail. This week I was still working with 3-D objects but I was working with angles also. The skill I learned this week was to cut at a angle. That will help me in the future of this coarse because we will be cutting things at angles with other projects. These skills could be applied in the real world because if I was making a harmer for a company the head would be cut at a angle. A way I was successful this week was cutting the hole in the middle. I was successful with this because I had already done it and remembered the skills on how to do it. A problem I had this week was knowing what C plane to be in. If I wasn't in the right C plane my dimensions would come up wrong. I went about solving this problem by checking and guessing. A way I was creative this week was adding a extra decimal onto my drawing. Customers might like that better because they would think I was more accurate

(a problem was not getting some dimension. me and mr bailey said it was ok to leave it.)

16a link. This week I was working with circular objects with two holes in it instead of a flat object with one hole in it. A skill I learned this week was how to cut circles in a circle using the diameter cutting tool. That will help me in the future of this coarse because I'm sure we will be working with diameter and radius cuts in the future of this coarse. Those skills could be applied in the real world because if a customer wasn't a hose the hose has a certain diameter for it. The problem I had this week was my dimensions. My dimensions seemed to be showing up backwards. I went about that problem by flipping the object upside down so the writing wasn't backwards. i was successful this week by drawing the circles onto my box this week. That will help me in the future because some of the drawing parts is start to become easy to me. A way I was creative this week was my dimensions came out backwards but I flipped my drawing to have them come in clear and not backwards.

15 0ffset guide. This week I worked with a 3-D object again but this time I had to cut a hole inside the object. The skill I learned this week was how to cut holes in objects. That will help me in the future of this coarse because their will be some projects were I will have to cut holes in the objects. Those skills could be applied in the real world because their would be a customer that might need a gasket for his automobile. That gasket would obviously have holes in it. It wouldn't just be a object with out holes in it. A problem I ran into in the week was getting the hole cut into the object. I went about solving that by making another box that would fit where the hole would be. Then I cut the hole out. I was successful this week by making the regular object. Making the object was easy until I had to cut a hole in it. That will help me in the future of this coarse because we will always be making objects in CAD. A way I was creative this week was cutting the hole in the object. It was hard to do but it was creative.

14abowl. This week I've been working on this bowl. It was the first 3-D drawing that was graded for me. By the looks of it, it came out pretty good. Last week I wasn't working on a 3-D drawing and this week I was. The skill I learned in this drawing is how to work with 3-D objects. That will help me in the future of this coarse because we will work with 3-D projects more in the future. These skills could be applied in the real world because in the real world if you were trying to sell a part or something most likely it would be a 3-D drawing. This week the problem I ran into was knowing what the X,Y, and Z was. That was confusing for me. I solved it by looking at what construction plane I was in and matching up my X,Z, and Y's. The ways I was successful this week was working in the quad view. I enjoyed working in that view because I like working with multiple view in CAD verses on view. It summed things up a bit and wasn't the same view. It can be used in the future of this coarse because most of the time with 3-D objects I will be working in the quad view. I was creative this week by giving by bowl the right tilt and angle to take my photo. To me that was the most creative part this week.

(A few problems were reflecting the mask and dimensions. I and Mr. Bailey talked about it. Also the 1.262 dimension) This week I was working hard on making a transformer mask. Last week I was working on some 3-D objects. This week I was working on this transformer Halloween mask which was more of a real life situation. This skill I learned this week was the parerell line tool when at an angle. That tool worked awesome because I didn't have to go back and put in the angle for every line. That will help me in the future of this coarse because it's less time consuming. These skills for the real world could be applied in the real world because there are Halloween mask in the real world. There also are plans for them and different designs. A way I was successful this week was being neat with my drawing. I have everything color coded neatly. A way I was creative this week was the whole drawing it was neatly presented and this is probably one of my first good drawings this year that I'm proud of.

This week I've been working on different things compared to last week. This week I've been working with changeing a 12 sided figure to a cool demensional object. That was cool and creative for this week. I worked with this a little bit before but not much. The skill I learned this week was how to make something look demensional. That will help me in the future because Mr. Bailey told me that we would be working with 3-D objects in the future of this coarse in CAD at period 2A. This could be applied in the real world because everything in real world is a 3-D object if your buliding something. For a example a air filter for a automobile isn't just a flat piece it is 3 demensional. A way I was succesful this week with the program was not getting frustrated. I ran into a lot of problems and had to guess on a lot of different things. The key though for me was not to get to frustrated and it worked very well. I can use that in the future because there are harder drawings coming up and they don't get easier. The problem I had this week was finding out what points to click on to make the object 3-D. After a while I figured out what to do. Overall everything I did was right.

The stuff I was working on this week compared to last week was different. This week I was using a lot of reference lines. I have angles with my lines but I did that with reference line going from point to point. So that was pretty cool. The skill that I've learned that will help me in the future of this coarse is how to make angles using reference lines. It will help me in the future of this coarse because it doesn't always tell you the angle of the line. These skills could be applied in the real world because not all of the time they give you the angles of the line. So a way to do it would be to measure the distance from the edge or something and go from point to point. That's how those skills could be applied in the real world in the United States. A problem I ran into this week was getting the dimension to come out exact. Instead of using snap-on I would use the intersection tool with dimensions. A way I was successful this week was using the reference lines. That's how I was successful this week. A way I was creative this week was overcoming the problems I had with dimensioning. That's the update for this week.(going to do reflections and demensions on tuesday, we talked about this yesterday)

This week I've been working on different things from last week. This week I've been working with circular objects compared to straight lines and squares like last week. I didn't mind working with circle objects compared to straight lines it was something different. A skill I learned this week was how to trim lines to make the pipe support. It all started out as a bunch of circles then I started using the trim-divide tool. That worked all right. These skills could be applied in the real world because in the real world there are not always straight lines. There are usually curves and a bunch of different things. Not always straight lines. The problem I had this week was trying to find out what trim-tool to use. I overcome this problem by just guessing and checking. If I had the wrong tool I would just undo and try another trim tool. A way I was successful this week was labeling things and doing dimensions. That was a way I was successful this week. I can use this in the future because were always labeling things. A way I was creative this week was overcoming the trim tool problem. I overcame the problem by guessing and checking so that helped me.

This week I've been working on different things from last week. This week I'm punching in coordinates instead of drawing the lines using the square tool will reference lines. I've been punching in coordinates for the x and y using the line tool. It becomes a useful tool when it comes to this type of CAD drawing in this class. The skill that I have learned is using the dimension tool. I learned how to use the snap on tool with dimensions to its easier to get more precise dimensions. It will help me in the future of this course because I was looking at the drawings in the future and most of them have dimensions on them. Those skills could be applied in the real world because in the real world everything is exact with CAD drawing and not just estimates. If it was estimates there wouldn't be any dimensions. The problem I had was remembering what point to start back out on. Sometimes I forgot what point I had punched in last and that messed my drawing up. I solved this problem by checking off what coordinates I punched in last. That's how I remembered what coordinates I punched in the last time. One way I was successful this week was using the snap-on tool. When using the snap-on tool my dimensions are more accurate. Then I get a better grade and the drawing is right and not inaccurate. I solved my problems by thinking everything through a couple of times. That's how I figured out what to do with different tools like snap-on.

Part D. Extra credit 7. I was working on a lot of different things this week but I also used past knoledge. I was working with labeling my demensions this week which I never worked with before. A skill I learned this week was labeling demensions. That will help me in the future of this coarse because we will be labeling a lot of demensions in the future. A skill that could be applied to the real world is the demensions. If your making a part for a machinist to make obviously he's going to need the dimensions to see what size it is. The problem I ran into this week was putting my angles in. I solved the problem by just playing around it and typeing in numbers into the line angle. When I was succesful this week it was when I was triming my deleting my refrence lines. That will be succesful in the future because were going to be always useing reference lines. One way I was creative this week just putting a bunch of lines and angles in. It looks like someone perfesional would have made this drawing.

Extra Credit 5. This week I've been working on alot different stuff from last week. Last week I wasn't triming lines and this week I am. The skill that I have learned is how to trim lines. Triming lines is going to be a good tool to have learned in the future of this coarse. These skills could be used in the real world for making a blueprint for a machinist of maybe a toy. The problem I had was not knowing how to trim. I solved this problem by reading several times on how to trim and do it the right way. After doing that I realized on how to do it. I was sucessful on puting the lines in because I remembered from last time I drew a drawing. That could help me because if I can remember on how to do things that will be a useful tool. I was creative by challengeing my-self on the triming. After I knew what to do I challenged my-self and didn't look at the directions.

​ Extra Credit 3b. This drawing was different than the last one I was working on. This week I started to put dimensions in for my drawing. When putting lines in instead of useing the the snap on tool you just put the dimensions in for the drawing. But when doing this you have to know your dimension which I figured out and wrote down. The skill I learned is useing the F10 button on the keyboard. That will come in handy in the future of this class because its more time consumeing. Instead of repeating the same steps to disconnect a line just press F10 and it does it for you. That will be nice to know. The problem I ran into in this past week was doing the path to figure out what dimensions to put in for x and y. I solved the problem by just taking my time and thinking out each problem and not messing anything up. If I did mess something up it would make the drawing inaccurate. One way I was succesful this week was not useing the snap on tool and actually drawing lines without doing it freehand. That will help me in the future because in the real world most drawings aren't going to be free hand. There going to be accurate with decimals for numbers. So that helped me be succesful and applied to the real world. A way I was creative this week was not being on the dots. I wasn't useing the snap tool and drawing with out drawing on the dots. So that was very creative for me.



Extra Credit 4. This was different compared to last week because were working on 3 dimensional shapes. I've never done that in this CAD class before. Last week we didn't work with 3-D shapes and this week we did. The skills I've learned this week was how to make the lines to 3-D shapes. That will help me in the future because Mr. Bailey said that we were going to be working with those kinds of shapes later. Those skills could be used in the real world when designing a car. You need to show all angles of the car so that could come in handy. The problem I had run into this week was making the lines into 3-D shapes I overcome that challenge by reading the directions in the book carefully and applying the knoledge in the book to the computer. The ways I was succesful in this drawing was making the lines straight and centered by useing the center/mid tool. That will help me in the future because a lot of times you have to center lines. One way I got creative this week was making a 3-D drawing. That itself was pretty awsome because 3-D come hard for me sometimes.
