0:00:00.009,0:00:02.160 As you work to make sure that your CAD models are 0:00:02.160,0:00:04.750 good and you're learning how to check the quality of your own 0:00:05.039,0:00:05.550 work, 0:00:05.719,0:00:08.029 it's really valuable to know that there's 0:00:08.399,0:00:09.630 a tool that can help you, 0:00:09.640,0:00:13.310 and it's called the CAD Checker. And how do you get the CAD checker? 0:00:13.520,0:00:13.640 Well, 0:00:13.760,0:00:14.100 first of all, 0:00:14.119,0:00:15.909 you come up here to the app store, 0:00:16.120,0:00:17.350 and in the app store 0:00:17.760,0:00:19.790 you type in the word "checker" 0:00:20.440,0:00:22.040 and we see what comes up when we do that. 0:00:22.149,0:00:25.479 There is the CAD Checker produced by the people who create Onshape. 0:00:25.870,0:00:27.280 You can just click on this, 0:00:27.370,0:00:29.530 get it downloaded into your Onshape. 0:00:29.569,0:00:30.319 It's free. 0:00:30.610,0:00:31.329 Once you do that, 0:00:31.370,0:00:34.240 you see this little box down here called the CAD Checker. 0:00:34.450,0:00:36.400 And one of the beauties of the CAD Checker 0:00:36.689,0:00:41.919 is that there are two really important evaluations you can do with the self-check. 0:00:42.090,0:00:44.919 You can compare your model properties to a reference. 0:00:45.250,0:00:46.799 So, if I have provided you, 0:00:46.810,0:00:47.500 for example, 0:00:47.549,0:00:48.759 a solution file, 0:00:48.970,0:00:50.279 you can type in the URL, 0:00:50.409,0:00:51.049 not type in, 0:00:51.159,0:00:53.119 you can paste in the URL right there, 0:00:53.415,0:00:58.525 and then it will compare the two models. And I'm comparing my NES that 0:00:58.525,0:01:02.235 I've been using in the videos to the NES that was used for all the drawings. 0:01:02.485,0:01:03.634 And I can see that 0:01:03.884,0:01:07.114 the two models compare beautifully because they're all 0:01:07.444,0:01:09.235 green and it checks out as being 0:01:09.644,0:01:09.995 correct. 0:01:10.165,0:01:11.324 If any one of these were wrong, 0:01:11.364,0:01:15.154 these would show up as red, we'd be able to go in and figure out what we need to work on. 0:01:15.444,0:01:18.595 Now there's another part of the CAD Checker that's valuable 0:01:19.025,0:01:20.834 and let's... 0:01:21.610,0:01:23.080 How do I get out of this? 0:01:23.290,0:01:24.720 Why is that not happening? 0:01:26.480,0:01:26.595 There 0:01:26.595,0:01:27.040 you go. 0:01:27.650,0:01:27.710 I 0:01:27.710,0:01:30.089 can click on the CAD Checker again, and when I click on 0:01:30.089,0:01:33.529 the CAD Checker, I can come here and compare to best practices. 0:01:33.940,0:01:33.959 Super, 0:01:33.970,0:01:35.599 super valuable here, 0:01:35.849,0:01:36.760 especially for 0:01:36.930,0:01:38.040 a couple of things. 0:01:38.330,0:01:39.160 Number one, 0:01:39.330,0:01:42.209 you can look to see which features you're using that's helpful. 0:01:42.322,0:01:42.862 OK, 0:01:42.992,0:01:47.222 you can also look to see if your sketches are well defined or 0:01:47.513,0:01:49.623 as we see right here in sketch number 6, 0:01:49.953,0:01:50.862 under defined. 0:01:51.032,0:01:53.432 We don't want to have any underdefined sketches and 0:01:53.432,0:01:55.472 this goes and checks all of them for us. 0:01:55.553,0:01:58.623 So, now we need to know. Now, we know we can go into sketch 6 0:01:58.833,0:01:59.902 and make a fix. 0:02:00.193,0:02:02.992 Also I know there's two parts in this particular Part Studio. 0:02:03.185,0:02:05.975 And I really like that it's telling me that I've renamed all 0:02:05.975,0:02:08.615 of my parts so that I'm not just having part 1, 0:02:08.695,0:02:09.095 part 2, 0:02:09.175,0:02:09.845 part 3. 0:02:10.136,0:02:11.175 Use the CAD Checker, 0:02:11.216,0:02:12.005 it's helpful, 0:02:12.455,0:02:14.326 especially for seeing if you have any 0:02:14.535,0:02:17.326 underdefined sketches that you need to go pay attention to. 0:02:17.496,0:02:19.645 I suggest not turning in anything, 0:02:20.175,0:02:20.445 in 0:02:20.455,0:02:23.975 your workflow that has underdefined sketches.
