Slide 27: Build: the tools
Communication Consistency Standards Utilize higher level tools and features Build: the tools What tools or features will assist with Efficiency “Back in the day”, drafting tools included such things as pencils, erasers (Manual and/or Electric), T-Squares, French Curves, Paper, Vellum and some symbol
Slide 28: Build: the tools
Communication Consistency Standards Utilize higher level tools and features Build: the tools What tools or features will assist with Efficiency Tools are based on programs and commands that allow users to create designs that were never imaginable before. We have emerged from a flat 2D table to a vas
Slide 29: Time vs. Quality
Communication Consistency Standards Time vs. Quality • Efficiency; Where do we look for this in our working environment? Some look at it through an hourglass or time cards • Some analyze efficiency through product completion • Some look at efficiency in a longer span of time, from estimating an idea
Slide 30: Time vs. Quality
Communication Consistency Standards Time vs. Quality The tools and skills of a Cad designer varies as in any job, but the ability to learn and grow using the Cad tools is endless. To be outstanding at your design position, it takes more than drawing lines, arcs and circles. Cad developers and progra
Slide 31: Cad software applications are intelligent
Communication Consistency Standards Cad software applications are intelligent Inventor has advanced tools, but you must learn those and incorporate the intelligence into company methodologies Administrators efficiency comes from having template scenario Efficiency of an upgrade is key in achieving p
Slide 32: Questions
Communication Consistency Standards Questions: 1.Does the Cad administrator/manager implement 1 template per file type or multiply that by units of measure? 2.Are there company standards for drawings, parts, assemblies and/or presentation files? 3.What are the basics for extracting BOM’s (Bills of M
