  1. Laboratory 2: Introduction to AutoCAD and Microsoft Project Created by: Steven W. Cheung

  2. Overview • Objective • Computer Software • Sketching Rules • Line Types • Drawing Views • Procedure • Written Assignment • Closing

  3. Objective • Learn basic technical design techniques • Become familiar with engineering design tools such as AutoCAD & MS Project • Use your new knowledge towards your lab and independent design project

  4. Computer Software • AutoCAD • Computer Aided Design tool • Allows objects to be drawn in 2-D or 3-D • Microsoft Project • Tracks progress of different tasks of the project • Enhances time management skills

  5. MS PROJECT Example

  6. Sketching Rules • Done in pencil • No use of rulers • Very little detail • Objects represented by blocks • radiators, tables, etc. • Double lines to represent walls • Consider the type of line used • Orthographic projection (for this project)

  7. Line Types • These are used to identify when creating technical drawings • Construction Line • Hidden Line • Dimension Line • Center Line

  8. Drawing Views • Orthographic • Shows the exact shape of an object from one side • Depth of the object is unknown • Multiple 2-D drawings used to represent 3-D objects • The three orthographic views we use are top, front, & most detailed side

  9. Drawing Views • Isometric • All three orthographic views shown in one picture • Creates a sense of depth • Used to represent 3-D objects

  10. Procedure • AutoCAD • Read the instructions on page 30 to create a AutoCAD drawing • Use the reference in the Appendix to guide you

  11. Procedure • MS Project • Read the instructions on page 33 to create a schedule for your Independent Project • Use the reference sheet starting on page 37 to guide you

  12. Written Assignment • Print out and hand in the two exercises • AutoCAD Room Drawing (Bart Simpson’s Room) • MS Project Independent Design Schedule • Submit a copy of the house design sketch • Remember to use sketching rules • Write a proposal explaining your house design (1-1/2 double spaced)

  13. Closing • Each person should have a turn to work with the software • AutoCAD Manual and library of symbols are available if requested
