If you do this, I am able to give you a C grade on the lesson and you can move on to the next.

BELLRINGER: We meet to discuss our new unit: FUSION. This is actual work and actual learning. You will be creating recognizable models from the first day, but you ABSOLUTELY need to know what you are doing, or you will be completely lost. Please review each video tutorial closely, rewinding and reviewing as needed.
WORK DAY:
FIRST: We need to create an Account with AutoDESK. I THINK that I have sent you an invite from AutoDESK to be an authorized user. Please check your school email for this today. I don't know what it might say, but hopefully, it gives us some guidance.
We will also need to open FUSION and attempt to sign in. Unfortunately, this may be tougher than it should be. If you get an ERROR message when you try to "SIGN IN", do the following:
Open a separate Google Chrome window. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner.
Click SETTINGS
On the left side of your screen, click DEFAULT BROWSER.
Click to set Google Chrome as your DEFAULT BROWSER. Microsoft may try to convice you to use Edge by bringing up some windows. Keep insisting on Chrome.
Now, return to Fusion and reclick to LOG IN.
Click to START A NEW ACCOUNT.
Please use your SCHOOL EMAIL for your AutoDESK account. You may need to jump through some account creation hoops here. Do your best or ask for help, if necessary.
Once you have your account, OPEN FUSION. Click that you want to DESIGN and then click NEW.
Review the USER INTERFACE INTRO video. I expect all students to know and understand all parts of the 360 screen.
Review and follow the LESSON ONE video tutorial regarding the TOY BLOCK. Review the MATERIALS video and create your own colored TOY BLOCK.
Work on the Wood Block and the Dice when you are done with the TOY BLOCK.

BELLRINGER: IT'S CHALLENGE DAY. It won't really be all the much of a challenge for most of you, though. First off, make yourself a CHALLENGE folder on your RED DRIVE space. Please put it at the same folder level as your AUTOCAD FOLDER. We will put lots of files in here before the end of the year.
Please create a properly DIMENSIONED and accurate DRAWING of the front and side views of the BLOCK that we drew the first day of class.
I would like you to use CONSTRUCTION LINES to make sure that your figure is the same size on both sides. CONSTRUCTION LINES are found in the DRAW ribbon and look like this:
and create guidance lines on your workspace, so that you can line up objects properly.

Creating LINES in AutoCAD.
Creating CIRCLES in AutoCAD.
Using the TRIM command in AutoCAD.
Creating standard DIMENSION LINES, ARROWS and NUMBERS on all drawings in BLUE.
Creating drawings without any dimensions that are proportional and to scale.
WORK DAY- I am going to list all of the current and slightly future assignments, just so you have stuff to work on, if necessary:
AutoCAD Assignment 4- "BASIC DIMENSIONING". Remember, from now on out, any problems in AutoCAD that have dimension lines need to be replicated when doing the problem. Problems without numbers do not need to be dimensioned. All dimension lines should be in the color CYAN (see the BELLRINGER or AutoCAD 4, PROBLEM 1 for details on how to complete this!) I have not yet graded this, but will likely do so IN CLASS on WEDNESDAY.
AutoCAD 3- LINES, CIRCLES, TRIM REVIEW.There is one easy and TWO extremely difficult Challenge Problems at the very end of this assignment, please try them! ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE!EXAMINATION COMING NEXT WEEK, PROBABLY TUESDAY. Again, not graded, but I will try to grade these on WEDNESDAY.

BELLRINGER:Work on completing your BLOCK DRAWINGS at the start of class today! You have 30-40 minutes!
COMPUTER LOGINS:
ON THE TECH LAB COMPUTERS, you will first need to log in to the machine first.
USERNAME= TECH1, TECH2, etc. This number is on the sticker on the top of your computer tower. For instance, Computer HS-104-8 is "tech 8"
Password= "Technology1!"
First thing to do when your computer is logged on (it may already be on when you come into the room!) is to open CHROME and log in with your school Google Account. This will let you access the Internet.
FOR TODAY: The class has a BLOCK PROJECT to complete. Mr. B. would really like it if we could complete that in one day:
PART ONE: We discuss Perspective Drawing and work on the 3D Pencil Drawing of The Block. Your drawing must include ALL of the following:
PROPORTIONAL VIEWS of the FRONT, SIDE and ISOMETRIC VIEW of the block.
DIMENSIONS for all LINES and CIRCLES on the drawing.
AUTOCAD LEARNING, PART ONE: Mr. B. does a demonstration of the basic layout of AutoCAD and points out some areas of the screen that we need to care about at the beginning. We also review how to draw lines, how to use polar tracking, snap grid and object snap. I would like you to TAKE SOME NOTES on this material!
AUTOCAD PRACTICE, PART TWO: AutoCAD LINES: (Make an AutoCAD_1 folder in your folder on your color drive. Save all of your files there.)

What are we struggling with? How could this process be easier?
IF WE HAVE TIME TODAY(we probably won't)
HOUSEKEEPING: We log in to our computers, find AutoCAD and open the program, so that we can see what happens. We also get our COLOR drives, with instructions on how to use them.
