Posted Assignment #1

Once sent to me, I am posting student homework assignments at the following EastCoast CA/CAM download site. http://www.eccadcam.com/downloads/public/mep_training . If you're interested in seeing what your colleagues have been able to do in AutoCAD MEP check it out. If you don't think that you could replicate their work, then you probably need some assistance. Let us know..

P.S. Beth plans to review each individual student submission following the due date of January 7th and will provide comments or some additional help/suggestions where needed.

When downloading homework I got a blank page.

Hey Charlie,
I'm not quite sure why you're seeing that. I just checked the homework download and I received all of the files. Make sure you're donloading from this url http://www.eccadcam.com/downloads/public/HomeworkAssignment.zip (paste in browser). If you use the url from this post (student homework) you would find 2 dwg files, one from Charlie and one from Mike. I'll be out of the office all day tomorrow but will be in all day on Wednesday. Please call me if you're still having a problem (603-672-7880).

Mike,

You had a question about the duct label. I have screen captures of the duct label style and will send Dave a document to post that explains this for you.

When you select the duct label and right-click on it, you will want to Edit the Label STYLE. Make sure you are clicking on the label and not the duct.

You will want to set the tab that is for Label Style Offset. Again, I'll send Dave a document to post.

Homework feedback so far.
Mike, yours was so perfect it makes me wonder what you were up to! You didn't do a copy and paste did you? lol :)
Charlie, you forgot to attach 1 diffuser at the start and then the once diffuser on the last leg to the louver. That last diffuser was tricky so I wouldn't worry about that one as much. It also had an smaller neck size. Question: Why did you choose 18 x 12? Was that a better design?
I sent Dave the finished version in .dwg format with all xref's bound for you to review and reverse engineer.
Mike, I'll expand on your annotation question separately.
A fantastic start!

It seems that the url isn't displayed as a full link with the last part of it missing. I've broken the folders down in to three lines so that you can build the single url from the 3 parts below:

Beth,
That was just a quick 5 minute down and dirty drawing. I let MEP size the duct so maybe some of the design criteria was bad.

Dave,
The only file I can view for homework is Details label style.doc I can not view any of the dwg files. I used your link http://www.eccadcam.com/downloads/public/HomeworkAssignment to get to the homework files.
