Week 4

Today i'm learning another similar software with AutoCAD which also able to sketch. I'm learned to use "tangent - tangent Radius", so that it can connect 3 circle into 1 smooth curve line after TRIM.

Secondly, I am learned how to use ARRAY function to duplicate a object to become many and with a correct offset distance. Besides that, learned how to show the dimension the objects.

Lastly, learned use polar array and to refresh use function of TRIM, DIMENSION, ARRAY, LINE, CIRCLES and etc.

Week 3

WEEK 3 1. Learn how to draw a line in the angle according the sample 2. Learn how to use Trim, Offset and Mirror functions

Week 1 & 2

WEEK 1 We just had a one and a half hour lecture briefing for the course outline, at the same time we got to know well for the basic functions and benefits in AutoCAD which I'll learn in this semester. The lecturer taught me how to use the software to draw to object and let us to try up, so I selected drew Minion.
