Each sketch should be neat, labeled (as needed to show me everything that is on the design), and has notes so that I understand what is going on in your design. o Step 3- Plan it! – Pick one idea that you like the best, and then create it in CAD (ProDesktop or Autosketch). Your final drawing should have all sizes (dimensions) that are necessary to build the object (these are mandatory, see grading sheet on back), as well as all notes necessary to build your design. This drawing should include the following views: Front, Top, Right Side, and Isometric. o Step 4- Build it! – Using the tools and materials provided create your design.
