Assignment checksheet
Bring a copy of your
completed pre-CAD plan and your current progress to next
class (keep the original for use in class and for your final
submission).
Final version HW6 (Parts a-c) due 2/8
You will receive scores for each:
HW6 (part a) - your pre-CAD planning (including notes and
design layout sketch),
HW6 (part b) - your SW process documentation, and
HW6 (part c) - your final products (fully defined SW sketch
w/minimum dimensions, solid model, and engineering drawing).
Refer to the
ENGINEERING DRAWING PRACTICES
packet for best dimensioning practices in dimensioning your
engineering drawing.
Print out the initials assignment

Assignment checksheet
(Due 2/13)
Create a customized hammer (with a head for pulling nails as
well as a lofted handle). Build from your initial work in the Lofts
tutorial. Modify the head and create a custom handle.
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 metric units).
