DCG Project 2013

ScummyMan

Quick question, does anyone know do all drawings have to be free hand? I've done a plan and elevation for the second page of my compare and contrast showing the measurements, is this okay? I've drawn it out properly to scale using a t-square.

whats it mean in CD when it asks for just drawings ?

deink

Which folder do the sheets with the plan, elevation, end view go in? Are they supposed to be saved as solidworks files or pdf?

Not 100% sure what did your teacher say, I would have said freehand to be honest

What exactly are you asking here I don't understand the question>

Both. The drawing sheet with the front elevation plan and end view goes in the Part A folder and Part B folder as solidworks drawing files but also saved as PDFs in the other folder on the CD

Its asking for in folders A and B of the CD to have

Parts
Assembly
Drawings
eDrawings

What are the drawings ????

seavill

Drawing file of your assembly front elevation plan end view sections dimensions etc
Drawing file of exploded view
Rendered pictorial (not the photorealistic)

Found This Fork Sir

The drawings are where when you open up solidworks, instead of making a part or assembly, you click drawing. They're basically your orthographic, exploded and rendered sheets, i thiiiiink.

What's everyone doing for their cover? I was going to go with the usual plain white page with the modified lectern and the project title but just should I up the standard a bit? :pac:

For all of my outputs bar the solidworks drawing I have a special background, so I'm using that on my cover too, but I'm just using the photorealistics from part a and part b I'd say, with a title

For the CD, for part A, I add in all the parts, the assembly and the edrawing? do I add in the drawing too? as in the output 5 printed file?? Thanks for any help

I don't believe you need freehand sketches here. Would have advised it but not necessary. Only output 3 and 8 HAVE to have freehands.

Only 3 and 8 have to have the original sketches the rest can be scanned onto the sheets I don't remember reading anything where it says about freehand not being required in anything else. It only mentions sketches rather than specifically mentioning the word freehand, as far as I remember anyway although I am open to correction

Just to add, I asked my teacher about this today, and he reckoned it was okay to not have them freehand. He said the same thing, the only place that MUST be free hand is outputs 3 and 8.

Don't put anything on your cd until the exam numbers come in a few weeks. Put your name and date of birth on every sheet and the main file on the cd is to be called dcg sa 2013 name date of birth.

Decal JPEG I assume need to be included (as the decal won't work without it) having said that I'm open to correction!
With regards to Output 6, as long as it's included in the PDF you don't need to worry about including them!
And the electronic files for Output 5 are part of Output 4 (the solidworks drawings) so so yeah they do have to be included!

How do you save the ortographic views, exploded views ect, are they saved as jpegs or something ???

Found This Fork Sir

I haven't even started output 7 or 8

They are saved as drawing files as opposed to part files in parts A and B and must also be put as PDFs for the electronic format folder

Ahhhh it's a lovely thought that in about 9 hours and 40 minutes I'll be finished this project! (I know it's officially due Friday but our teacher has decided he wants it due tomorrow, doesn't bother me he could give us forever and I don't think my project would get any better!) It's been such a weight on my shoulders for the last few months! On Friday I'm going to a well deserved party to celebrate it being finished!

Leaving Cert Student

For output 9, i included some phororealistics with my drawing sheet... they don't appear when I open it now though they did print and are scanned... will it be sufficient to leave them out?

Haha same as myself! Few beers saturday night to celebrate the end of 3 or 4 hours work every night for the last 3 weeks and a huge amount of school hours used on it as well

"As examination candidate numbers will not be available at this time, students should use their name and date of birth as a means of identification on their design portfolio and on the main folder contained on the CD. The name of this folder should be in the following format “DCG SA 2012 (Student Name Date of birth)”. E.g. “DCG SA 2012 (John Smith 04-07-1994)”. Please note the use of dashes in the date of birth format."

This is taken from the official department circular and would suggest to me that the CD should be burned now.
