is it not a word document?

No it MUST be a pdf.

For your first question I believe that you are allowed 1 page at the front and one page at the back that arent counted, so its really 16 pages if you count your cover page and bibliography.

Yes the sketches can be stuck into your project once they are the original sketches and not copies.

Thanks a million !

Do the references have to be like the exact address you got it from?! Or can it be like "boards.ie" rather than "boards.ie/nonsense-blabla???"

It only has to be the domain name, i.e www.google.ie and www.boards.ie

Where do the references go?

You are allowed a front and back page, front for exam number and pictures of your solidworks models, the back page is used for references. Do your best to style it up a bit as well, remember there are points for presentation.

Cool thanks!

Side Note: Will I lose marks for not doing a references sheet? I'm running a little low on time, i.e. I still need to do my Part B on Solidworks. It doesn't say you have to do refs on the brief, would I get away with it?

It does say you need to give references on the brief so you can be guaranteed to be deducted marks. Just throw a simple one together though. Are you nearly finished solidworks? You have like 2 days left !!!

Had a bunch of frees today, so I managed to finish it: absolutely chuffed! Just gotta bind it, scan it, put it in a PDF format and put the whole lot on a disk and then I can forget about this evil project!!

how the hell did you manage to finish half the project in one day?

I did the references last night and e-mailed them to myself, I used 3 parts from Part A in the pump system for Part B, so I didn't need to remake those, so all I really needed to do was make 5 parts, assemble them all together, explode them, plop them all on a sheet, and print. Oh and I stayed back 2 hours after school, and I made a little plan before going in this morning, so I could be as quick and efficient as possible, and I stayed in at lunch, and I skipped religion and PE. Oh and finally, I'm a bit a whiz at the ol' Solidworks.

oh and PS: if anybody's behind on Solidworks I recommend setting up keyboard shortcuts, I had it set up so I could tap...'s' for smart dimension, 'r' for add relation, 'c' for circle, 'e' for extrude, 't' for trim, 'l' for line, 'a' for 3 point ark etc. It takes about 1 minute to set up and will probably save you hours on your sketches. Pretty nifty stuff! (google it)

^^ I see .
Ive the second bottle assembled just need to do the exploded view and the other sheets. Still have a good bit of the outputs to do though .
In the compare and contrast what are people comparing ? Im a bit lost. Would weight and volume be an example?

I opted for dimensions, weight, volume (how much of the perfume it can hold) and materials. Btw just so I know, is the project due to be completed this Friday?

No it's due the following Friday (the 20th).

Beautiful !!! Plenty of time to finish sketches

So do you have to reference evry single picture?

Thank God I have lots of perfume bottles at home so 90% are my own pictures

No, for instance if you found the images on google then just link www.google.ie

Hey guys!Just wondering am I allowed to do Powerpoint files at home? Asking because It's much easier for me. My Teacher told me that examiners will be able to find out that I have done it at home which is kind a not allowed. :mad: Is that right?
Also what should I do now I have done this much for output 7 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=n1cj6h&s=5 . Just 1 slide. But the problem is Im not very shure about next thing what needs to be done I want the second sheet for output 7 !! ?
Help please
Thanks any answer will be appreciated

Firstly, I recommend not posting parts of your project on boards.ie, this thread has over 20,000 views, so think of the amount of people you're giving access to your work. Secondly, the examiner has no way of knowing where you made your written project, what program you used or when you made it as you do not hand up the PowerPoint file, you hand up a PDF of the project once it has been printed out (i.e. you print it out, put in whatever sketches you want and then you scan every page and make a PDF of the scanned pages). The Solidworks, you won't get away with doing at home because you do have to include those files on the disk and Solidworks files store information about when and where you made them.
