TCC 122 - 2-D CADD

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Technical Communications

Description:

This is a course in computer-aided design and drafting using two-dimensional orthographic projection drawing techniques. Emphasis is placed on sketching/layout techniques for personal-computer-based CADD system operations. A series of increasingly difficult drafting assignments, ending with presentation-quality CADD drawings will be the major outcome of the course. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Use appropriate sketching techniques to lay out a drawing, establish drawing parameters, determine set-up criteria and represent the conceptual aspects of views for a two-dimensional drawing; Use various input devices, display, drawing and plotter commands to satisfy the specific requirements for completing drawings for both the mechanical and construction industries; Modify and correct redlined orthographic drawings, using Inquiry and Edit commands available in the CADD software; Provide annotation, in the form of standardized dimensions, notes, bill of materials, tabulation tables and other text on drawings; Develop, structure and manage related drawing files and previously prepared drawings to associate desired information and entities for the creation of a specific set of final drawings; Apply basic through intermediate techniques of drawing composition and development for plotting scaled views in various viewport configurations; Create two-dimensional engineering charts, graphs and tables; Develop User Coordinate Systems to facilitate drafting of intermediate through advanced drawing views to include orthographic, axonometric and auxiliary planar views.
