We have finished AutoCAD session today, have to mark up the drawings we did though. It was good time to learn and remind doing AutoCAD this week. Every AutoCAD user has different tastes, so the more I look how the tutor draws, the more I learn. Even though having pre-experience of AutoCAD, I had almost same problems with other mates. What I felt through last week and this week is my English skill is too weak even I was confident to my listening when I wasn't really into this environment here. What should I do...What I really want to learn is the tiny points which are not common knowledge that Chris or other tutors are saying, but I can't hear that. Writing and speaking? I don't know what to say.

Isometric view and oblique view are different. I think oblique view has one surface that is on the same surface where it is drawn and two other surfaces are looked oblique as compared to Isometric view. We can draw Isometrice view by changing into Iso snap from rectangular snap.

This is a drawing of a flange using array and divide commands.

doubler, through hole inside - I have to understand the concept of this and should have measured all measurements by scale rule. It would be easy to know how they are working.

We handed our small assessments but I have to mark them up by next monday. Heaps of mistakes on them! I will look into the book 'small craft and safety' because we are having day skipper next week.
