Is this a project for university?
Are you doing this using AutoCAD or Inventor?
Is this going to be done in 2D, 3D or both?
Metric or imperial units?
What other criteria do you have to meet besides having 50 parts?

yup, it's a project for university. It should be done this midterm in 2d but soon we will make it in 3d. I'm using AutoCAD and I'm just a beginner.
It should be in metric and should be related on machines or anything that has gears.
thanks for your help. :)

yup, it's a project in our university. It should be done in 2d this term but next term we will make it 3d. I'm using AutoCAD2007 and I'm just a beginner so I'm seeking for some help.
It should be in metric and related in machines or any thing that has gears. I want to ask what's an easy thing for beginner like me? Thank you very much for your help. :D

Easy and 50 parts? That's going to be more involved than you think.
A machine or anything with gears. OK. I suppose I could look in some of my mechanical drafting books but they are all in work. Can't do that until Monday morning.
Where in the Philippines are you located. I have a friend who lives in Sampaloc, Manilla.

Thank you so much. ^^ It will be a GREAT help. Seems like you're very professional doing CAD works.
I'm from Rizal but I have an aunt in Manila. :D

50 parts?
I've been looking through my books and so far the best I can come up with is a gear reducer with 21 individual parts, however, some of the parts like the retaining plate is used twice, while some of the bolts are used four times. The total number of parts comes to 41. Would something like this be suitable?
By the way, only seven of the parts are fully dimensioned.
I'll keep looking.

thank you and sorry for disturbance.
hmm? i'm trying to make a bike and i'm looking for
detailed parts of it, but i can't find any.
it is not actually required as a machine, it can be like bike, cars, robots,
or any appliances.
Sir, may i know what's the title of your book?
Can i find it in any bookstore?
THANKS. ^^

A bike? I'll have to take a look around. I may have come across one but I cannot recall where at the moment.
Note: there are CAD block drawings of various bicycles here at the CADforum in the CAD Blocks section. Use them as a reference but please draw your own version. Don't cheat and use someone else's drawing. If you have a bicycle measure it and draw it up. You could use the experience.
The book's title is Technical Graphics Communication (Third Edition) by Gary R. Bertoline and Eric N. Webe. It was published by McGraw-Hill and the copyright date is 2003.
I don't think you can find it in a bookstore. I purchased this for an AutoCAD class I took in college.
