This week I got to go have a little fun with Adobe Illustrator. It is fun to do something out of the ordinary once in a while. Team PrISUm is laser cutting parts for our next car, and we had a little extra space on our acrylic sheet, so we decided to make some profiles of the next car. The problem came in not having a vector (line) drawing of that profile. I got to take Illustrator and trace a picture to get our profile. I hadn't really used Illustrator since leaving high school. Its amazing how much people can remember about a task, even a few years later.
It is amazing how you are able to remember different skills even though you haven't used them for awhile. I took a few computer aided drawing classes in high school and when began ME 170 a year later, I recalled a lot of the skills I used in my CAD classes very easily. Also, I noticed that you mentioned team PrISUm. I'm thinking about joining it next year and was wondering how is the club?
ReplyDeleteIt can be some grinding hard work, when work needs to be done, but they're a good group that's fun to hang around with. Plus you actually get to build things.
