Lesson
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
Goal:•Utilize the 3D actuator arm from the previous lesson, to layout a Front, Top, and Right side View. (Orthographic Projection)
Objective:•Switching to Paper space form Model space•Locate and identify the Base tool.•Define and utilize the From Model Space option.•Implement the Current option•Utilize Update tool to manage a changed model.
Orthographic Projection
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
So you’ve created a solid model……..Now what?
Orthographic Projection

Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
What is it?
•Model space is the drawing environment in which you create the geometry for your model.
•Paper space represents the paper representation of your model as it will be plotted.
Locating Base / From AutoCAD
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
What is it?
Generates the base view of a model created in model space from which all other views are derived.
From AutoCAD / Current
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
What is it?
Projects the Current model view orientation from Model space into Paper Space.
From AutoCAD / Current
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
In Paper space pick the first location for your Front view. Continue to select the next 4 view locations to complete the layout orthographically.

AutoCAD Activity
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
•Open dataset labeled (Actuator Arm 3D.dwg)
•Switch from Model space to Paper space
•Create a layout using Base From AutoCAD
•Implement the Current Tool
•Check Layers
*Handout*
Presspull
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
In Model Space we will utilize the Presspull command from our first lesson and increase the center lug height by (1.00”).
Auto Update
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
What is it?
The Auto Update tool updates Layout drawing views, including the dimension when the Solid model is changed.
Note indicating model has changed
Red box Indicates model has changed and view needs to be Updated.
Auto Update
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
When the Update command is implemented
Demonstrate

Utilizing Layout Command “Model Has Changed” Indicators
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
• What do the red boxes indicate in Paperspace?
• Did the dimension update automatically?
• What is the height of the center lug?
Review / Conclusion
Preparing a Diverse Population for Work.
Advantages:• Warnings when model has changed• Automatic view update• Automatic dimension update• Automatic layer creation
