Week: #4 -- Drawing Sketches

Another week has passed, as it inevitably would. Recent work entails further use of AutoCAD and, surprisingly, creating our own sketches. These sketches are primarily for our projects, which were assigned to us within the week. I was assigned to making something our instructor deemed "a bad-ass grill". The job requires welding and basic metal construction and design. I do not know much of this yet, but I am sure I will learn in time. The other tasks we undertook during the week included learning how to use the trim tool in AutoCAD, which allows the user to erase lines to clean up blueprints. We also added some simple dimensions to act as a measuring tool for real-life construction. This allows us to see what measurements would attribute to particular areas of an object or structure in AutoCAD.

Other ventures included the Object Snap Challenge, where the class learned all the different snap maneuvers in the program. This allows one to have precise drawings and have all lines match up perfectly. A very useful tool if one wished to not be an ignoramus and have a proper drawing.

Additional Focus:
The Additional Focus of this quarter moon is "taxes". How colorful. Taxes are a financial charge levied by a state on a particular person or institution. Such charges can be paid with money or labour, yet failure to pay can result in punishment with the law. Taxes are used for a variety of purposes, including the military, education, health services, public safety, property protection, social security, economic infrastructure, public works projects, and other state-supported institutions. There are many forms of taxes such as income tax, capital gains tax, property tax, and most commonly, sales tax. Taxes are a fundamental process for a stable economic system and generally benefit the country or state overall.
