00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:02.160
As you work to make sure that your CAD models are

00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:04.750
good and you're learning how to check the quality of your own

00:00:05.039 --> 00:00:05.550
work,

00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:08.029
it's really valuable to know that there's

00:00:08.399 --> 00:00:09.630
a tool that can help you,

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:13.310
and it's called the CAD Checker. And how do you get the CAD checker?

00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:13.640
Well,

00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:14.100
first of all,

00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:15.909
you come up here to the app store,

00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:17.350
and in the app store

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:19.790
you type in the word "checker"

00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:22.040
and we see what comes up when we do that.

00:00:22.149 --> 00:00:25.479
There is the CAD Checker produced by the people who create Onshape.

00:00:25.870 --> 00:00:27.280
You can just click on this,

00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:29.530
get it downloaded into your Onshape.

00:00:29.569 --> 00:00:30.319
It's free.

00:00:30.610 --> 00:00:31.329
Once you do that,

00:00:31.370 --> 00:00:34.240
you see this little box down here called the CAD Checker.

00:00:34.450 --> 00:00:36.400
And one of the beauties of the CAD Checker

00:00:36.689 --> 00:00:41.919
is that there are two really important evaluations you can do with the self-check.

00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:44.919
You can compare your model properties to a reference.

00:00:45.250 --> 00:00:46.799
So, if I have provided you,

00:00:46.810 --> 00:00:47.500
for example,

00:00:47.549 --> 00:00:48.759
a solution file,

00:00:48.970 --> 00:00:50.279
you can type in the URL,

00:00:50.409 --> 00:00:51.049
not type in,

00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:53.119
you can paste in the URL right there,

00:00:53.415 --> 00:00:58.525
and then it will compare the two models. And I'm comparing my NES that

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.

00:01:02.485 --> 00:01:03.634
And I can see that

00:01:03.884 --> 00:01:07.114
the two models compare beautifully because they're all

00:01:07.444 --> 00:01:09.235
green and it checks out as being

00:01:09.644 --> 00:01:09.995
correct.

00:01:10.165 --> 00:01:11.324
If any one of these were wrong,

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.

00:01:15.444 --> 00:01:18.595
Now there's another part of the CAD Checker that's valuable

00:01:19.025 --> 00:01:20.834
and let's...

00:01:21.610 --> 00:01:23.080
How do I get out of this?

00:01:23.290 --> 00:01:24.720
Why is that not happening?

00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:26.595
There

00:01:26.595 --> 00:01:27.040
you go.

00:01:27.650 --> 00:01:27.710
I

00:01:27.710 --> 00:01:30.089
can click on the CAD Checker again, and when I click on

00:01:30.089 --> 00:01:33.529
the CAD Checker, I can come here and compare to best practices.

00:01:33.940 --> 00:01:33.959
Super,

00:01:33.970 --> 00:01:35.599
super valuable here,

00:01:35.849 --> 00:01:36.760
especially for

00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:38.040
a couple of things.

00:01:38.330 --> 00:01:39.160
Number one,

00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:42.209
you can look to see which features you're using that's helpful.

00:01:42.322 --> 00:01:42.862
OK,

00:01:42.992 --> 00:01:47.222
you can also look to see if your sketches are well defined or

00:01:47.513 --> 00:01:49.623
as we see right here in sketch number 6,

00:01:49.953 --> 00:01:50.862
under defined.

00:01:51.032 --> 00:01:53.432
We don't want to have any underdefined sketches and

00:01:53.432 --> 00:01:55.472
this goes and checks all of them for us.

00:01:55.553 --> 00:01:58.623
So, now we need to know. Now, we know we can go into sketch 6

00:01:58.833 --> 00:01:59.902
and make a fix.

00:02:00.193 --> 00:02:02.992
Also I know there's two parts in this particular Part Studio.

00:02:03.185 --> 00:02:05.975
And I really like that it's telling me that I've renamed all

00:02:05.975 --> 00:02:08.615
of my parts so that I'm not just having part 1,

00:02:08.695 --> 00:02:09.095
part 2,

00:02:09.175 --> 00:02:09.845
part 3.

00:02:10.136 --> 00:02:11.175
Use the CAD Checker,

00:02:11.216 --> 00:02:12.005
it's helpful,

00:02:12.455 --> 00:02:14.326
especially for seeing if you have any

00:02:14.535 --> 00:02:17.326
underdefined sketches that you need to go pay attention to.

00:02:17.496 --> 00:02:19.645
I suggest not turning in anything,

00:02:20.175 --> 00:02:20.445
in

00:02:20.455 --> 00:02:23.975
your workflow that has underdefined sketches.
