COURSE OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to 1. Produce a working set of detailed dimensioned drawings with the proper orthographic projections and scales. 2. Create external reference drawings (XREFs) to produce another detailed drawing. 3. Set-up and create Prototype (Template) drawings to the proper scale for use with other drawings. 4. Create pictorial drawings (Isometrics) from 2D views of objects.(Isometrics) 5. Successfully Extract 100% of the data from graphic files using Attributes and use this data to create a bill of material. 6. Create 3D Wireframe and Solids models to scale. Extract the 2D orthographic projections to create a dimensioned detailed working drawing INSTRUCTOR CONTACT INFORMATION Instructor: Johnny Pousson Email: jlpousson@lit.edu Office Phone: 409-247-5136 Office Location: TA5 room 109 Office Hours: Varies REQUIRED TEXTBOOK AND MATERIALS 1.
