1)Cosmetic design:
For this assignment, the deliverable is a pdf document that consists of a screen-captured image of your cosmetic design as developed in the CAD software of your choice and a description of your design serving to:
1. help the reader understand what your idea is and what its characteristics are
2. point out to the reader the customer needs relevant to your robotics design and why.
The deliverable must include the following:
Description of your robotics design: Provide at least 4-5 complete sentences that describe your idea. Somewhere in this write-up, you should reference the screen capture of your cosmetic design.
Customer needs paragraph: Please provide 4-5 complete sentences on the customer needs that you thought were central to the design. Remember, a customer need is not complete if it does not include a weighting.To help identify customer needs, you may review the stakeholder needs provided in the Lecture-Design Thinking material and/or add other additional customer needs as appropriate.
Engineering specifications paragraph: Please provide 4-5 complete sentences on the engineering specifications you think will be central to the design. Identify measurable values of your design. Engineering specifications consist of a metric that can be measured and a quantifiable target value. Refer to the Design-thinking lecture for guidance.
CAD mock-up of your design: Create a visual of your idea in the CAD software of your choice. Remember, a cosmetic design exists purely to articulate what your ideas are to someone else. You should focus on conveying your ideas clearly through what you create with your CAD software. Although this is not a functional design, however consider the ability to mock up a design that would accommodate the total number of components needed to build your robot.
The easiest way to generate the requested pdf document is to create the figure you need in Microsoft Word and the text description of your design and how it relates to your customer needs. You can then export this Word document to pdf from within the Microsoft Word software. PDF submission is required. Please see the attached rubric for assessment.
2)Create a Simple Floor Plan with Line, Circle, and Arc.
Steps:
Open a New Drawing: Launch AutoCAD 2023 and open a new drawing file.
Set Units: Set your drawing units to architectural units. Type UNITS and choose “Architectural” from the list.
Create Layers:Type LAYER in the command line and press Enter.
Create layers for different elements, such as “Walls,” “Doors,” “Windows,” “Text,” “Circles_Arcs,” and “Lines.” Assign each object to the appropriate layer as you create it. ( select various lines types and colors)
Turn Off Unnecessary Layers:Initially, turn off all layers except for the “Walls” layer. You can do this by clicking the light bulb icon next to each layer name in the Layers panel.
Draw the Room: Use the RECTANGLE command to draw a rectangular room on the “Walls” layer. Specify two opposite corners by entering the coordinates: (0,0) and (144,120).
Add Walls: Use the OFFSET command to create walls on the “Walls” layer. Enter an offset distance of 6 inches (0.5 feet) and select the inner edges of the room’s rectangle to create the walls.
Turn On the “Doors” Layer:Before adding a door, turn on the “Doors” layer and make it the current layer.
Insert a Door: Use the RECTANGLE command to draw a rectangle for the door on the “Doors” layer. Place it along one of the walls. You can use coordinates like (60,0) for the lower-left corner of the door and width of the door as 36 inches (assume wall thickness as door width).
Turn On the “Windows” Layer:Before adding a window, turn on the “Windows” layer and make it the current layer.
Insert a Window: Draw a rectangle for the window using the RECTANGLE command on the “Windows” layer. Place it on another wall, using coordinates like (24,0) for the lower-left corner and width of the window as 24 inch and thickness as 6 inches.
Turn On the “Circles_Arcs” Layer:Before adding arcs and circles, turn on the “Circles_Arcs” layer and make it the current layer.
Add a Circular Table : Use the CIRCLE command to add a circular Table fixture on the “Circles_Arcs” layer. Specify the center point and the radius.
Draw an Arc: Use the ARC command on the “Circles_Arcs” layer to draw an arc within the room. For example, draw an arc in one corner of the room to show a corner reading table.
Turn On the “Lines” Layer:Before drawing a line, turn on the “Lines” layer and make it the current layer.
Draw a Line: Use the LINE command on the “Lines” layer to draw a line segment within the room. Place it creatively to represent a tiles floor of the room.
Turn On the “Text” Layer:Before adding labels, turn on the “Text” layer and make it the current layer.
Add Labels: Use the TEXT command on the “Text” layer to label the room as “Bedroom.” Place the text at coordinates (60,24). You can also label the door, window, and light fixture.
Set Linetypes and Colors:Use the LTSCALE command and set it to 1 for consistent linetype scaling on all layers.
Type LTYPE in the command line to access the Linetype Manager. Choose appropriate linetypes for each layer (e.g., “Continuous” for walls, “Hidden” for doors, “Dashed” for windows) and assign colors as desired.
Save Your Work: Save your drawing with a descriptive name.
By keeping arcs and circles in the same “Circles_Arcs” layer, you can maintain organization while grouping these similar elements together.
Sample Coordinate Points:
Room Outline: (0,0) – (144,120)
Door: (60,0) Left corner, 36 inches and 6 inches width and thickness respectively
Window: (24,0) Left corner, 24 inches and 6 inches width and thickness respectively- (48,6)
Room Label: (60,24)
Circular Table: Specify a center point and radius.
Arc: Place it creatively within the room.
Line: Draw a line segment within the room.
Tips:
Zoom in and out using the scroll wheel of your mouse for better visibility.
Experiment with different linetypes, colors, and layer assignments to practice adjusting settings.
In this exercise, you will create a simple floor plan using AutoCAD 2023. The drawing will include the following elements in a Floor Plan
Room: A rectangular room with dimensions of 144 inches in length and 120 inches in width, representing the floor plan.
Walls: Interior walls created using the OFFSET command. The walls are 6 inches (0.5 feet) thick.
Door: A rectangular door within one of the walls. The door measures 3 feet in width and6 inches thickness.
Window: A rectangular window on another wall. The window measures 2 feet in width and 2 feet in height.
Circular light fixture : A circular light fixture in the center of the ceiling with a specified radius.(optional)
Arc: An arc drawn creatively within the room, connecting two corners.
Line: A line segment representing a design for tiles in the room.
Labels: Text labels for the room, door, window, and light fixture.
Layer Organization: Each element is organized into separate layers (e.g., “Walls,” “Doors,” “Windows,” “Text,” “Circles_Arcs,” and “Lines”) for better management and visibility.
Linetypes and Colors: Linetypes and colors are applied to layers to differentiate and emphasize various elements in the drawing. Linetypes such as “Continuous,” “Hidden,” and “Dashed” may be used based on layer assignments.
The exercise provides a comprehensive introduction to AutoCAD’s essential tools, including drawing, modifying, adding text, adjusting settings, and organizing elements into layers with appropriate linetypes and colors. The result is a well-structured and visually informative floor plan drawing suitable for various architectural or design purposes, with detailed measurements provided for accuracy.
