1. Copylink, Pasteclip Open the CH22EX1-M drawing from the Chapter 22 exercises. Use Copylink to copy the entire drawing to the Windows clipboard. Start WordPad and type the following sentence: Identify each type of bolt in the following figure below. Use Pasteclip to insert the contents of the clipboard into WordPad. Save the WordPad file as CH31EX1-M.DOC.
2. Copyclip, Pasteclip In this exercise you will create a cover sheet and insert general notes onto the sheet. Begin a New drawing and set Limits for a C-Size sheet. Create or Insert a border and titleblock. While AutoCAD is running, start WordPad and type the paragraph of notes as shown below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Next, select all of the text and use the Copy command (Copy from the Edit pull-down menu) to copy the text from WordPad to the clipboard. Return to the new AutoCAD drawing and use Pasteclip to insert the text as shown in Figure ME31-1. You may need to resize the text box to generate appropriately sized text. Save the drawing as CH31EX2-M.

3. Editing an Embedded Object
Open the CH31EX2-M drawing from the previous exercise. Double-click on the text block to open the text back in the original WordPad program. Change the size of the fonts and make all of the text bold. Exit WordPad. Note that the changes are automatically updated in AutoCAD. SaveAs CH31EX3-M.
4. Copyclip, Pasteorig Open drawing CH28EX2-M from the Chapter 28 exercises. Use Copyclip and select all objects to copy to the Windows clipboard. While this drawing is open, begin a New drawing. Use Pasteorig to paste the objects into the new drawing. Use Saveas and assign the name CH31EX4-M to the new drawing. If you compare the two open drawings (use the Window pull-down menu or press Ctrl+Alt), you may notice that the dimensions appear differently since the new drawing does not have a previously created dimension style or appropriate dimension variable settings. To remedy this you can perform one of the following actions: A. Use DesignCenter to drag and drop the dimensions style from the CH28EX2-M drawing into the CH31EX4-M drawing, make the new dimension style current, then Update the existing dimensions. B. Create a new dimension style with the appropriate settings, then Update the existing dimensions. When you are satisfied that the two drawings look the same, Erase the diameter dimensions in the CH31EX4-M drawing and replace them with labels A, B, and C as shown in Figure ME31-2. Next, while AutoCAD is running, open Word and construct the following table: Hole Letter A B C Number of Holes 4 2 1 Hole Diameter .25 .75 .88 Hole Depth Thru Thru Thru Figure ME31-2
When finished, use Copy from the Edit pull-down menu (in Word) to copy the table to the Windows clipboard. Go to your AutoCAD drawing and use Paste to bring the table into the CH31EX4-M drawing. Highlight the table and reposition and resize the table appropriately. (Alternately, right-click on the highlighted table and select Properties from the menu to produce the OLE Properties dialog box. Experiment with the Size and Scale to achieve the desired arrangement.) In the OLE Properties dialog box, set the Plot Quality to Line Art to achieve a high quality print. Save the drawing and make a print.
For these exercises you should download the following files from the www.mhhe.com/leach Web site: BEV.GIF, DFLO.JPG, PLATE.BMP, and CASTER.TIF.

3. Plate Complete the drawing of the plate shown in Figure ME32-3. Activate a layout and Insert a titleblock and border. Use Imageattach to place the PLATE.BMP file on the right side of the drawing. Use Imageadjust to adjust the appearance of the image. Save the drawing as CH32EX3-M. Figure ME32-3
4. Caster Assembly Open exercise CH30EX1-M from Chapter 30. Activate a layout and Insert a titleblock and border. Use Imageattach to place the CASTER.TIF file in the open area on the right side of the drawing as shown in Figure ME32-4. Use Imageadjust to adjust the appearance of the image. Save the drawing as CH32EX4-M. Figure ME32-4
