Week 4 of Winter Quarter 2007! After a wacky few weeks, we seem to be in full swing. Three snow delay days, one snow cancellation day and one holiday all consecutively made getting into a routine dificult. But everyone seems to be off to a good start...In the coming weeks, we have two field trips. Our first is on Friday, February 2nd to Warmoth Guitars in Puyallup. Warmoth uses CNC machining technology to manufacture their beautiful electric guitar bodies and necks. We'll get to see this process in action, ask questions of the designers and maybe even learn a thing or two!
MED 158 Beginning AutoCAD - after learning to create lines, circles and other objects, MED 158 students have progressed to layers. The student drawing above shows different types of drawing entities in different colors (i.e. object lines, hidden lines, center lines, etc.) Each of these types of objects lie on their own "layer" and can be assigned separate properties such as color, linetype and lineweight.
If certain layers were to be "turned off", signifying they are not to be displayed, you would still be able to view the remaining layers. To the left, is the same drawing with the center and hidden layers turned off. The object lines of the part are still very visible. Layers are a great tool for drawing and plot management.
