Assignment 3 was a simpler compared to assignment two, there was less sections to consider and projections had become easier. I still struggled with lineweight and linetype, placement of dimensions wasn’t done well either and wasn’t very clear. Plating the drawing is where most of the problems seemed to be held, the viewport frames were visible and unaligned, the drawings in two of the views were in the wrong scale and I was missing some labels in the drawings. To add onto that the title block was not done right. With practice in each of the assignments plating has become easier and almost natural to do. Scaling the drawings in viewports has become so much easier as well as creating a uniform title block. Placing dimensions has taken a little bit of practice but grows easier as time went and goes on. Linetype wand weight are still a bit of a struggle, but as mentioned in assignment twos evaluation the potential for getting better is possible.

Drafting during the first assignment now seems very simple and an ok start, it was much easier to use layers and easy to understand using them. At the time creating orthographic views was a tad difficult, it took time for me to be able to visualize projections of a shape in different views. With time and practice of different techniques like using a miter line and construction lines it became easier.

The concept of lineweight is easy to understand but I struggled putting it into action, I still do. There’s a possible sign of progression with the lineweight since the second assignment was given, but it has been extremely slow progress and it has taken a lot of practice. The second assignment also showed a problem with my geometry. I was bad at it in high school and it continues so it isn’t a surprise, but there is a little bit of growth from the beginning of the semester to this point and even more since high school. The mistakes found from the dimensions that point out problems with the geometry have drawn my attention to checking more thoroughly into making sure the drawing is right. In assignment two we also reviewed hidden lines and in the assignment I was missing some, at this point or even right after when I reviewed it the missing ones were obvious and should have been common sense for completing the drawing.
