Toy Train
Overview
To complete this project I had to make a miniature toy train based on the dimensions given to us. We also had to the drawing sheets for each individual part. Mostly using the "dimension" tool I was able to mark the lengths and widths of the parts. I can also make a complete part list using the "part list" feature. I was able to highlight these features in the exploded view using the "balloon" tool. For the parts that were made using the "revolve" function it was easier to dimension them using the "Section" feature. For the chamfers on the cow catcher I can use the "detail" tool to create an enlarged view of a part/whole drawing. To create the dimension for the chamfers I used the "chamfer" feature of Inventor.
Review
Overall I thought this was a good project and learned a great deal from it. I feel that I learned the most from the drawing sheets and making the cow catcher.
