Lab 1 reference documents
The main goal of this lab is to provide some fundamental for sketching in perspective and to have you complete some CAD tutorials to provide a good foundation for this semester.
- Lab 1 Assignment (download and print out for lab)
- Lab 1 Supporting Material (download and print out for lab)
- Need Finding (look at online before coming to lab)
- How to draw more human like figures (read after lab if interested)
- Prototyping with foam-core (read after lab if interested)
- Lab starts this Thursday/Friday (8/31 & 9/1 and will meet in the CADE lab.
- For the first lab you’ll be doing some drawing & sketching & will need:
- A pencil
- A black marker or pen (for reinforcing the \”good\” lines and shading)
- Plenty of blank paper, preperably a spiral bound artists pad (8 1/2\” x 11\” or larger).
- As preparation for Lab1, download and look at the handout on Need Finding (from my old notebooks). It gives examples of idea generation, mind maps (brain storming), and thumbnail sketches (note that when you are brain storming, you need not be serious or realistic).
- For the first lab you’ll be doing some drawing & sketching & will need:
Feedback on this lab from last year (fyi, it was called Lab0 last year)

Lab 1 CAD tutorial 1
- The ProE tutorial for this lab is located at http://www.ptc.com/products/tutorials/proewf3/newusers/index.htm.
- You only need to do pages 1–33 and 60–68. You can do all the pages in between if you decide you love ProE, but those are the only required pages for this lab.
- Print out an isometric view of the piston and the drawing of the connecting rod. Download the connecting rod file here. You will have to unzip it before you can use.
Tips
- Until the cade lab gets this issue resolved, to start wildfire 3.0 you need to type in the full path. The full path is /usr/local/apps/wildfire3_M020/i386_linux22/bin/proe. Just type this path in a terminal window on the command line and hit enter. Wildfire 3.0 will then start.
- The first page of the tutorial is written for windows, so disreguard steps 4–6. All you need to do for the first page is download the file ‘Intro_WF3_Tutorial_student.zip’, unzip it, start wildfire 3.0 as described above, and navigate to where you extracted the tutorial files.
- To unzip it, either right click on it and choose ‘Extract Here’ or in a terminal type ‘unzip Intro_WF3_Tutorial_student.zip’ It will extract to a folder called users with several sub folders. Make sure you know where you unzipped it.
- To navigate to where you extracted the files: navigate to where you extracted the tutorial files using the file browser pane on the left side of the wildfire 3.0 application window, assuming you saved the files to the default location then this path should be something like Desktop/users/student/Intro_WF3_Tutorial and click on ProE_models. All the wildfire files in this folder should then appear in the wildfire window.
- when printing your drawings the following advice should be useful:
- click the ‘fit’ button in the main toolbar to fit your drawing to the viewing area
- select print and under the configure menu set the desired paper output size (A is 8.5 X 11)
