Mechanical Drawing

We made a mechanical drawing in a program called AutoCad, and we had to use some new skills and techniques we had just learned like offset, trim, dimscale, and hidden lines. First we plotted a point like @140<0 and we continued with another point like @20<90. Then we pressed enter and had a 90 degree angle. After that we used offset to copy and move the lines to where we want and needed them. Then once we had all our lines we used trim to cut off the excess part of the lines that we didnt need to have in our drawing. Then we used dimscale to show the measurements we used to make the drawing. Then once we were at the end we used hidden lines to show that there were holes in the figure.
