1 00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:02,160 As you work to make sure that your CAD models are 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,750 good and you're learning how to check the quality of your own 3 00:00:05,039 --> 00:00:05,550 work, 4 00:00:05,719 --> 00:00:08,029 it's really valuable to know that there's 5 00:00:08,399 --> 00:00:09,630 a tool that can help you, 6 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,310 and it's called the CAD Checker. And how do you get the CAD checker? 7 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:13,640 Well, 8 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:14,100 first of all, 9 00:00:14,119 --> 00:00:15,909 you come up here to the app store, 10 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,350 and in the app store 11 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,790 you type in the word "checker" 12 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,040 and we see what comes up when we do that. 13 00:00:22,149 --> 00:00:25,479 There is the CAD Checker produced by the people who create Onshape. 14 00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:27,280 You can just click on this, 15 00:00:27,370 --> 00:00:29,530 get it downloaded into your Onshape. 16 00:00:29,569 --> 00:00:30,319 It's free. 17 00:00:30,610 --> 00:00:31,329 Once you do that, 18 00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:34,240 you see this little box down here called the CAD Checker. 19 00:00:34,450 --> 00:00:36,400 And one of the beauties of the CAD Checker 20 00:00:36,689 --> 00:00:41,919 is that there are two really important evaluations you can do with the self-check. 21 00:00:42,090 --> 00:00:44,919 You can compare your model properties to a reference. 22 00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:46,799 So, if I have provided you, 23 00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:47,500 for example, 24 00:00:47,549 --> 00:00:48,759 a solution file, 25 00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:50,279 you can type in the URL, 26 00:00:50,409 --> 00:00:51,049 not type in, 27 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,119 you can paste in the URL right there, 28 00:00:53,415 --> 00:00:58,525 and then it will compare the two models. And I'm comparing my NES that 29 00:00:58,525 --> 00:01:02,235 I've been using in the videos to the NES that was used for all the drawings. 30 00:01:02,485 --> 00:01:03,634 And I can see that 31 00:01:03,884 --> 00:01:07,114 the two models compare beautifully because they're all 32 00:01:07,444 --> 00:01:09,235 green and it checks out as being 33 00:01:09,644 --> 00:01:09,995 correct. 34 00:01:10,165 --> 00:01:11,324 If any one of these were wrong, 35 00:01:11,364 --> 00:01:15,154 these would show up as red, we'd be able to go in and figure out what we need to work on. 36 00:01:15,444 --> 00:01:18,595 Now there's another part of the CAD Checker that's valuable 37 00:01:19,025 --> 00:01:20,834 and let's... 38 00:01:21,610 --> 00:01:23,080 How do I get out of this? 39 00:01:23,290 --> 00:01:24,720 Why is that not happening? 40 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:26,595 There 41 00:01:26,595 --> 00:01:27,040 you go. 42 00:01:27,650 --> 00:01:27,710 I 43 00:01:27,710 --> 00:01:30,089 can click on the CAD Checker again, and when I click on 44 00:01:30,089 --> 00:01:33,529 the CAD Checker, I can come here and compare to best practices. 45 00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:33,959 Super, 46 00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:35,599 super valuable here, 47 00:01:35,849 --> 00:01:36,760 especially for 48 00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:38,040 a couple of things. 49 00:01:38,330 --> 00:01:39,160 Number one, 50 00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:42,209 you can look to see which features you're using that's helpful. 51 00:01:42,322 --> 00:01:42,862 OK, 52 00:01:42,992 --> 00:01:47,222 you can also look to see if your sketches are well defined or 53 00:01:47,513 --> 00:01:49,623 as we see right here in sketch number 6, 54 00:01:49,953 --> 00:01:50,862 under defined. 55 00:01:51,032 --> 00:01:53,432 We don't want to have any underdefined sketches and 56 00:01:53,432 --> 00:01:55,472 this goes and checks all of them for us. 57 00:01:55,553 --> 00:01:58,623 So, now we need to know. Now, we know we can go into sketch 6 58 00:01:58,833 --> 00:01:59,902 and make a fix. 59 00:02:00,193 --> 00:02:02,992 Also I know there's two parts in this particular Part Studio. 60 00:02:03,185 --> 00:02:05,975 And I really like that it's telling me that I've renamed all 61 00:02:05,975 --> 00:02:08,615 of my parts so that I'm not just having part 1, 62 00:02:08,695 --> 00:02:09,095 part 2, 63 00:02:09,175 --> 00:02:09,845 part 3. 64 00:02:10,136 --> 00:02:11,175 Use the CAD Checker, 65 00:02:11,216 --> 00:02:12,005 it's helpful, 66 00:02:12,455 --> 00:02:14,326 especially for seeing if you have any 67 00:02:14,535 --> 00:02:17,326 underdefined sketches that you need to go pay attention to. 68 00:02:17,496 --> 00:02:19,645 I suggest not turning in anything, 69 00:02:20,175 --> 00:02:20,445 in 70 00:02:20,455 --> 00:02:23,975 your workflow that has underdefined sketches.
