3D - 2

Mechanical Engineering Design Project help?

Ok so this is just a concept design that we have to make.. for a mechanical device that launched golf balls in a bucket 2 feet away. Anywayz thats not important. The problem i am having is with the Illustration of the concept. heres what it says one well-documented and illustrated concept(about one page) Excellent, well annotated, three-dimensional drawings are preferred. Lacking the ability to provide these drawings you should at least make the drawings as informative and professional as possible. At least use a straight edge and templates. Computer generated drawings can be very good; however the use of only 2-D assembly drawings is usually not satisfactory. So yes I do lack the ability to provide 3D drawings (assuming that requires using a software like Auto Cad) So i have to use a straight edge.. ok and "Templates"... I dont understand what he means by using templates. Can someone explain this? thanks

1. He is referring to drawing templates. You should be able to find them at the bookstore. There are drawing templates for circles, ellipses, hex's, etc.
