Computer Aided Design
Introduction
This weeks assignment was learning the Computer Aided Design which included both 2D and 3D Drawings.However, the challenge was the softwares to be downloaded and learnt within the short period. This week's assignment is to make a 2D and 3D model of a potential final project and here I am using Autocad to make a 2D model and Solidworks to make the 3D model. I also tried out FreeCad that I found out trough Professor Neil's Lecture and looked very handy and easy to use,so through it I made a small simple sketch guided with some YouTube tutorials for which I'll provide the link below.
\AUTOCAD
Using AUTOCAD I designed what looks like the outer structure of my project as a 2D model of the top plan as I had to have very detailed dimensions because of the standards set of the project.
Corel Draw
After using AUTOCAD i had to use another software that can't transfer its 2D drawings in 3D,and COREL DRAW was pretty interesting although I couldn't cover all it can do I tried to make a 2D design from a
Youtube tutorial
Through this design I learnt the tranformation function which is more like an offset done within angles at the same distance
Solidworks
Using Solidworks I designed the outer structure of the project using the same dimensions.For which I had various difficulties while doing the assembly.
FreeCAD
Using FreeCAD I designed a 2D small model of a rectangle for which I got a pan(basically its transforming a 2D model into a 3D model which I find interesting because you get to manipulate the dimensions of your 2D sketch of what you want you want your 3D model to look like.).And after that I also tried out the 3D model of the FreeCad and manipulated it by placing different shapes and trying out different functions like fillet,pocket.All those I got them from a tutorial on Youtube (Click here to get to the link)

This is a 2D model that I got to manipulate and give a pan on the following.
This is a 3D model that I got to manipulate with functions like:
