NOTE 1:
Your finished model should utilize customized surface appearances, reference planes, and an expanded as well as annotated (i.e., renamed) design tree.
NOTE 2:
Be sure to use the ME drawing template found under course resources on the shared drive. Fill in important linked cells of the title block (DRAWN BY, QTY, PART #, MATERIAL, DESCRIPTION) by editing the part's 'File Properties' Summary tab (Author) and Custom tab (Quantity, PartNo, Material, and Description). Variable names are case-sensitive. Your engineering drawing of your hammer should show the length of its handle, dimensions of the bottom of its handle, and the diameter of its striking surface (in inches). |
