Re: Need help drawing my ideas

I constantly find myself during boring lulls of classes and the empty study hall drawing out various robot and mechanical ideas. I suffer from two major problems, however.

1- I don't have the patience to convert these over to CAD.

Thanks CD!
Sometimes there just is no shortcut to take and you have to bite the bullet and do it.. "Just Do It". I found there is no better way to get started in CAD then to have a project to draw. Mechanical drawings are the English Essay of mechanical designers. The only way you might be able to communicate is with your drawing. You have to get good at it for others to help you. Practice with simple shapes and use those to rough out a drawing freehand. Then start cleaning up the drawing using finer strokes.
A drawing teacher had us trace a line with our pencil just above the paper back and forth between two points several times and then let the pencil decsend with each pass until the point makes contact.
