Readability Technical Drawing 101 with AutoCAD®: A Multidisciplinary Curriculum for the First Semester Page 2
Once the design problem is clearly defined, the designer begins preparing preliminary de-signs that can meet the parameters defined during the problem identification phase. During this step, multiple solutions to the design problem may be generated in the form of freehand sketches, formal CAD drawings, or even rendered three- dimensional models. Designers refer to this process of generating many possible solutions to the design problem as the ideation, or brainstorming, phase of the process. The preliminary designs are shown to the client to see if the design is in line with the clients expectations. This step allows the designer to clarify the clients needs and expectations. Page 215 As with mechanical drawings, drawing and dimensioning standards apply to the creation of architectural drawings. Often the standard is described in an in- house drafting manual that has been developed by the designers, architects, and drafters of the firm. This manual is used to guide placement and spacing of dimensions, text height for dimensions and notations, and naming conventions for the title block and layers. Increasingly, however, national standards are being adopted by architectural design firms, especially those that bid on publicly funded projects such as schools and government buildings. At present, the United States National CAD Standard (NCS) is gaining acceptance by the building design and construction industry. Page 293 In the mechanical engineering field, drafters are often required to create complex sets of mechanical working drawings for entire mechanical assemblies. To better understand the creation of these drawings, it is helpful to step back and take a wider view of the mechanical design process itself. For most mechanical designers, the first phase of a design project involves clearly defining the design problem and specifying the criteria that the finished design must meet to be considered a success. As stated earlier in Unit 1, designers often refer to this phase in the design process as problem identification. For example, before beginning a design for a machine part, a mechanical designer must have a clear understanding of the following: the function the part serves; the ability of the part to work in conjunction with other parts; an idea of the shape, size, strength, and material of the finished part; any safety and reliability concerns the part may present; and an estimated budget for the project. 
AutoCAD 2009 and AutoCAD LT 2009 No Experience Required Page 2
Your introduction to AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT begins with a tour of the user interfaces of the tow programs. In this chapter, you’ll also learn how to use some tools that help you control their appearance and how to find and start commands. For the material covered in this chapter, the tow applications are almost identical in appearance. Therefore, as you tour AutoCAD, I’ll point out any differences between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. In general, LT is a 2D program, so it doesn’t have most of the 3D features that come with AutoCAD, such as solids modeling and rendering. The AutoLISP programming language found in AutoCAD is also absent from LT, as is the Action Recorder. The other differences are minor. As mentioned in this book’s introduction, when I say AutoCAD, I mean both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. Page 237 As you select objects in the cabin drawing to move them onto their prescribed layers, you use various selection tools. Mastering these important tools will greatly enhance your performance as an AutoCAD user. As you select objects by picking them and windowing them, you’re building a selection set. Here is a summary of the basic selection tools that you have used so far, with a couple of additions: Picking. This is the basic, bottom-line selection too. Click the line, circle, or other object to select it. If no command is running, grips appear on the selected object, and the object becomes dashed. Page 627 You have already created the title block in model space, so you just need to move it to the layout. As in any other Windows program, you can use the cut/copy/paste tools to move objects between model and paper space. There is also the Change Space tool for the specific purpose of moving objects from within a viewport to the current paper space layout or vice versa. When the Change Space tool is used, the objects that are moved are scale appropriately so that they appear just as they did in the previous space.
