explanation of artifacts
In the pictures above show the skill I have of scaling my drawings. First, you go to an empty paper space. Then, you click rectangle and click the top left hand corner and bottom right hand corner and your drawing shows up. After that is done you click the box and select scale and you choose a scale that your drawing best fits into. After that is done you type in what the scale is on the bottom of the paper space and you are done.

I met this standard by simply following the directions given to me by my instructor, Mr. Grummer. Scaling is by far the easiest thing to do because it is just quick and simple steps. The only thing that takes a little bit of time, which is barely any time at all, is picking the correct scaling size for your drawing. When I first started the scaling unit Mr. Grummer gave us a scantron and a series of maybe 100 drawings to scale. At first this was very hard due to the fact that we hadn't learned about it before. Once I got help and was told what to do it was easy from there.
This standard has real- world application because of the sheer and simple fact that engineers and architects use scaling on a daily basis. Scaling is very important in an engineer or architects daily job because if you scale something too big you will not be able to see all the parts of whatever you are scaling or it will be too small to read.
This standard has inspired me to further discover choosing the correct scale for any project that I have done, am doing, and will do. Also it has inspired me to discover all the different scaling of not only orthographic drawings, but floor plans as well. When I was done with my first floor plan ever Mr. Grummer helped me scale it and it seemed a lot more complicated then just scaling a orthographic drawing. I feel like next semester, since it will most likely be harder, I will get to learn how to scale houses and floor plans onto paper space.
