1.Class Practice (AUTODESK FUSION & SHAPR 3D)
On the left is our group's warehouse, where you can share and edit the parts you have made.
If we want to create a new component, we need to click the New Component button as shown in the picture.
4.Final project component
This is one of the parts of the last work we made. It is a pot bottom tray. We use the above methods to make it. After each part is made, we will then customise the parts.

7.Simple introduce another CAD software or experience
5.Plug-in usage
Learn about Autodesk API: First of all, you need to understand the API documents of Autodesk products, which will tell you how to interact with Autodesk products and develop plug-ins. Different Autodesk products may have different APIs, such as AutoCAD, Revit, Maya, etc.

Choose development tools: Plug-ins for Autodesk products usually use specific development tools and languages for development. For example, AutoCAD plug-ins usually use AutoLISP, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or. NET and other languages are developed. Revit's plug-ins can be developed using Revit API, C#, Python and other languages. Choose the development tools suitable for your Autodesk products and skill level.

Write plug-in code: Write the plug-in code according to your needs and the API documentation of Autodesk products. This may involve interacting with various objects of Autodesk products, such as drawing objects, model elements, etc. You can use the functions provided by the API to realise your plug-in functions, such as creating new drawing elements, modifying existing elements, performing specific operations, etc.

Testing and debugging: After writing the plug-in code, it is very important to test and debug. Make sure that your plug-in works properly and there are no errors or abnormalities. You can test in Autodesk products and debug and modify the code as needed.

Release and distribution: Once your plug-in is completed and passed the test, you can consider publishing and distributing it to other users. You can upload the plug-in to the Autodesk plug-in store or other third-party platforms for other users to download and use.
Use the tools on the left to sketch.
Constrain sketches through "sketch dimensions" and the right toolbar.
The sketch line before constraint is blue, and the sketch line after constraint is black.
Parts can be constrained by labelling the size.The shortcut key is CapsLK plus D.
Using connections to achieve twisted connections between parts.
Fix the center of the circle at the same position in the specific selection.
Determine the motion mode between the connected parts.
Four point twisted connection, moving with mouse drag.
6.Drawings
SolidWorks is a three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Dassaul Systems, which is widely used in engineering and design fields. SolidWorks has powerful modelling functions, which can help engineers and designers create and modify 3D models quickly and accurately.

The following are some main features of SolidWorks :

  • 3D modelling: SolidWorks provides rich modelling tools, including solid modelling, surface modelling and assembly design, which can meet various complex design needs.
  • Graphical user interface: SolidWorks has an intuitive user interface, which allows users to easily learn and use software and quickly get started with design work.
  • Engineering analysis: SolidWorks integrates finite element analysis (FEA) and fluid mechanics analysis (CFD) tools to help engineers evaluate product performance and optimise design.
  • File exchange: SolidWorks supports file exchange with other CAD software, can share data with other team members, and collaborate with suppliers and customers.
  • Automation tools: SolidWorks provides many automation tools, such as automatic generation of design, part library management and drawing, which improves design efficiency.

In general, SolidWorks is a powerful CAD software, which is suitable for various engineering and design tasks, and can help users quickly and efficiently carry out product design and development.
