description of part one (5.5A)
In order to use CAD effectively as a design tool, the designer must have the skills necessary to create, edit, and manipulate a 3D model of a part in order to create a realistic representation of an imagined object. In this activity you will build on the CAD skills that you learned in Activity 5.2b Introduction to CAD Skills. You will learn about and use additional tools and features available in most CAD programs and apply your new CAD skills to the creation of more complex parts that will be used in later activities (as components in the assembly of parts) to create complete products (including a complete Automoblox vehicle and a Button Maker machine).
As you work through the exercises in this activity, pay particular attention to the environment in which you are working. Several CAD tools can be used as sketch tools or features tools, and it is important to understand the difference. For instance, sketch components (such as points or shapes) can be patterned within a sketch. But pattern tools are also available outside of the sketch environment to create patterns of features (such as holes or protrusions).

description of part two (5.5B)
Two dimensional sketches are nice, but parts have three-dimensional (3D) qualities that sketches can only imitate and communicate in an abstract manner. CAD 3D solid modeling programs can bridge the gap between 2D representations and 3D artifacts by providing an electronic representation of an object that can be moved and rotated so that all aspects of the object can be viewed.
A sketch in a 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) solid modeling program serves as the foundation for a three-dimensional feature. Some three-dimensional features require a sketch from which the 3D form is created. Other features do not require a sketch, but instead require a three-dimensional form.
In this activity you will learn about and use additional tools and features within a CAD program to enhance your knowledge of the capabilities of the program and improve your skill in producing 3D solid models.

conclusion of part two
What CAD feature would be used to most efficiently model a baseball bat (Extrude, Loft, Revolve, Sweep)? Explain your answer.
Loft-- if find it easier to create and just use that.
How does a 3D CAD solid model program display the progression of work involved in creating a model?
You see what parts you have done, basically the outline of the creation.
If a mistake is made, how does the user make a correction without using the undo function?
You can cut lines with the trim key.
