Fully Define the Sketch

some tips regarding good sketching practices.

Every part should have sketch(s) that is fully defined and extremely easy to edit, always remember, at school no one will read your sketch, not even the professors for grading, but in CAD, especially CAM firms other engineers and technicians will need your sketch to be as clear as possible and as much easy to edit as possible.

Use relations and construction lines, instead of dimensions where ever possible, NEVER link part sketch(s) to external (other) parts in an assembly; it is considered a very bad practice everywhere! Because if someone goes in and changes the "external" part, the original part changes due to this, which messes up the whole assembly.

Fully defining a sketch, it is always easy to just whack dimensions everywhere, but fully defining properly takes a lot of time which means a lot more money to the client to pay but stick with it, remember it is you who have to modify it later if needed, make a fully defined sketch now and save the trouble later.

The only way you would not fully define a sketch was if you are doing "recreational" modeling or something. In real work always define the sketch. It is a nightmare to make changes (for others) to parts that were created by you by using sketches that were not always fully defined. Being able to edit by another engineer should be a high priority.

Minimize the use of 3D sketches.

Entry Level CPU Build Guide for Word Processing and Browsing; for October 2013 (Pakistan Market Prices and Parts Availability)

This is the least expensive, the most basic build guide, based on the parts available in Pakistan. This build is recommended for casual users and students wanting a basic computer for Microsoft® Office™ work. And for those who run games on consoles.

CPU

Intel® Pentium™ G-2020 Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.90 GHz) ~6,500 PKR, It has 2 cores and no HT technology, will perform everyday tasks like charm! It will struggle a with the running games at medium-low resolution. Just recommended for word processing and Internet.

Motherboard

Intel® Desktop Board DH61CR ~5,500 PKR, using 3rd party mother boards is not recommended in Pakistan because of no-warranty issues. Most of the importers buy from Intel and they come with warranty, others simply don't. This board supports 4 3 GB/s SATA, USB and PCI-e 2.1.

PSU + Case + Extra Fan

~3,000 PKR. For this build you can go for the built in 300 Watt power supply that comes with you casing, but due to large time spent gaming and/or rendering and due to hot temperature in Pakistan, the system heats up pretty bad, so be SURE to buy and add an extra 90 mm fan.

RAM

Kingston® KVR16N11/2 2 GB DDR 3 1600 MHz, ~2,000PKR x1, as RAM is expensive these days, was at around half the price last year, so go for 1 DIMM 2 GB memory. (capacity of the recommended motherboard is 8GBx2 = 16 GB maximum).

HD

Seagate® Barracuda™ 7200 rpm 32 MB Cache 500 GB ~6,500 PKR. Buy the smallest/cheapest capacity/price available because most of us pre own portable hard drives anyway, use them for backup.

Optical Drive

Yeah, it was something too, something dinosaurs used! NOT recommended. Just wastage of money! We use USB ports to install any of the current OS, obviously. but of you don't have the ability to install the OS from USB port, or are afraid to make changes to your BIOS, please buy yourself a Super Drive.

WIFI

TP Link® WN722N ~1,000 PKR, it is a must as most of us have WIFI routers these days, so to get internet to your desktop, you will have to use this or a ~2,500 PKR 50+ meter LAN cable. The choice is yours! This isn't even a hard one!

This all adds up to 27,000 PKR without Graphics Card, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers and a Monitor which most of us pre own and do not change for ~8-10 years.

If you are buying everything from start, add ~2,500 PKR for keyboard and mouse, and ~12,000 for 900p monitor (Dell® or HP® only because of warranty issues).

For suggestions, send an email to fadoobaba@live.com , tweet @fadoobaba, PM at https://www.facebook.com/ThreeDimensionalDesign or https://grabcad.com/fahad.rafi.butt or comment with your contact details and I will contact you!. Thank you for reading!

Haswell Powered CPU Build Guide for Low End Gaming, Word Processing and Browsing; for October 2013 (Pakistan Market Prices and Parts Availability)

This build is recommended for casual CAD users, rendering at very high resolution will take lot of time on this build, nearly impossible and very casual gamers.

CPU

Intel® Core™ i3-4130 Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz) ~15,000 PKR, average rendering performance, it will stay for 3 years easy! It has 2 cores and HT technology, will perform everyday tasks and simple CAD tasks like charm! It will struggle a bit with the rendering software and large CAD assemblies, and of course running games at high resolution.

Motherboard

Intel® Desktop Board DB85FL ~10,000 PKR, using 3rd party mother boards is not recommended in Pakistan because of no-warranty issues. Most of the importers buy from Intel and they come with warranty, others simply don't. This board supports 4 6 GB/s SATA, USB and PCI-e 3.0.

PSU + Case + Extra Fan

RAM

Kingston® KVR16N11/4 4 GB DDR 3 1600 MHz, ~4,000PKR x1, as RAM is expensive these days, was at around half the price last year, so go for 1 DIMM 4 GB memory. I don't recommend buying 2x DIMM of 2GB capacity, because if you want to upgrade to full capacity later (and most of you will, that's why one buys a Desktop and not a Craptop), (capacity of the recommended motherboard is 8GBx4 = 32 GB maximum) it will not use up extra DIMM slot.

HD

Seagate® Barracuda™ 7200 rpm 32 MB Cache 500 GB ~6,500 PKR. Buy the smallest/cheapest capacity/price available because most of us pre own portable hard drives anyway, use them for backup.

Optical Drive

WIFI

This all adds up to 40,000 PKR without Graphics Card, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers and a Monitor which most of us pre own and do not change for ~8-10 years.

If you are buying everything from start, add ~2,500 PKR for keyboard and mouse, and ~12,000 for 900p monitor (Dell® or HP® only because of warranty issues).

Haswell Powered CPU Build Guide for Medium Gaming and Entry Level CAD; for October 2013 (Pakistan Market Prices and Parts Availability)

This build is recommended for regular CAD users, rendering at very high resolutionwill take lot of time on this build. and casual gamers (which most of us are).

CPU

Intel® Core™ i5-4670 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz) ~22,000 PKR, exceptional value for money, average rendering performance, it will stay for 4 years easy! It has 4 cores and no HT technology, but will perform everyday gaming and CAD tasks like charm!

Motherboard

Intel® Desktop Board DB85FL ~11,000 PKR, using 3rd party mother boards is not recommended in Pakistan because of no-warranty issues. Most of the importers buy from Intel and they come with warranty, others simply don't. This board supports 4 6 GB/s SATA, USB and PCI-e 3.0.

GPU

MSI® NVidia™ GeForce GT 640 GDDR3 2 GB ~10,000 PKR, great value for money too, will easily run all existing games (~30 fps), and all to be released games at low-medium settings at a minimum of ~30 fps for at least 2 more years.

PSU + Case + Extra Fan

Corsair® VS 450 400 Watt PSU + Casing ~5,000 PKR (after the price for built-in PSU is subtracted). In Rendering, the CPU goes to full power and beyond (Intel® Turbo Boost) so power consumption increases, same applies to GPU when gaming, you will probably use 300 Watt maximum, but as PSU gets older (after 3-4 years minimum) the output wattage decrease, so to make up for that, initially buy a slightly larger wattage PSU. Also due to large time spent gaming and/or rendering, the system heats up pretty bad, so be SURE to buy and add an extra 90 mm fan.

RAM

Kingston® KVR16N11/8 8 GB DDR 3 1600 MHz, ~8,000PKR x1, as RAM is expensive these days, was at around half the price last year, so go for 1 DIMM 8 GB memory. I don't recommend buying 2x DIMM of 4GB capacity, because if you want to upgrade to full capacity later (and most of you will, that's why one buys a Desktop and not a Craptop), (capacity of the recommended motherboard is 8GBx4 = 32 GB maximum) it will not use up extra DIMM slot.

HD

Seagate® Barracuda™ 7200 rpm 32 MB Cache 500 GB ~6,500 PKR. I don't recommend buying a hard disk anymore because it will slow your system down, buy a 180 GB SSD instead. Believe me, 180 GB is enough space, most of us pre own Portable HD anyway, so use that for back up. If you want a HD buy the smallest/cheapest capacity/price available.

Optical Drive

Yeah, it was something too, something dinosaurs used! NOT recommended. Just wastage of money! We use USB ports to install any of the current OS, obviously.

WIFI

This all adds up to 70,000 PKR without SSD, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers and a Monitor which most of us pre own and do not change for ~8-10 years.

If you are buying everything from start, add ~2,500 PKR for keyboard and mouse, and ~12,000 for 900p monitor (Dell® or HP® only because of warranty issues).

Haswell Powered CPU Build Guide for Hi-End Gaming and CAD; for October 2013 (Pakistan Market Prices and Parts Availability)

This build is recommended for those who use CAD software daily and render their models as well at a high resolution. And do PC gaming as well.

CPU

Intel® Core™ i7-4770 Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) ~34,000 PKR, exceptional value for money, excellent render performance, it will stay for 5 years easy! Comes with 8 cores! Do I need say more? :)

Motherboard

Intel® Desktop Board DH87MC ~12,000 PKR, using 3rd party mother boards is not recommended in Pakistan because of no-warranty issues. Most of the importers buy from Intel and they come with warranty, others simply don't. This board supports 6 6 GB/s SATA, USB and PCI-e 3.0.

GPU

MSI® NVidia™ GeForce GTX 650 GDDR5 2 GB ~15,000 PKR, great value for money too, will easily run all existing games (50+ fps), and all to be released games at maximum settings at a minimum of ~30 fps for at least 2 more years. And lets face it, AMD is crap! ;)

PSU + Case + Extra Fan

Corsair® VS 500 500 Watt PSU + Casing ~6,000 PKR (after the price for built-in PSU is subtracted). In Rendering, the CPU goes to full power and beyond (Intel® Turbo Boost) so power consumption increases, same applies to GPU when gaming, you will probably use 400 Watt maximum, but as PSU gets older (after 3-4 years minimum) the output wattage decrease, so to make up for that, initially buy a slightly larger wattage PSU. Also due to large time spent gaming and/or rendering, the system heats up pretty bad, so be SURE to buy and add an extra 120 mm fan.

RAM

HD

SSD

Kingston® SV300S37A/60G 60 GB ~6,500PKR. This 6GB/s SSD boots Microsoft's® Windows™ 8.1 RTM in 10 seconds ONLY! Get the point I was making earlier? Go for Kingston because warranty issues, again importers do not buy from Intel in case of SSD, but from Corsair and Kingston.

Optical Drive

Yeah, it was something too, something dinosaurs used! NOT recommended. Just wastage of money! We use USB ports to install any of the current OS, obviously.

WIFI

This all adds up to 89,000 PKR without Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers and a Monitor which most of us pre own and do not change for ~8-10 years. And with 60 GB SSD and 500 GB HD.

If you are buying everything from start, add ~2,500 PKR for keyboard and mouse, and ~12,000 for 900p monitor (Dell® or HP® only because of warranty issues).
