Reviewing programs, marking assignments, and grading tests can take a considerable amount of time for teachers. This quick tip can help you not only get through file review quicker but also help you provide better feedback to the student.
This video is focusing on 2D geometry. This is but one portion of the file review process but it can be a lengthy one if you try and review each piece of geometry individually. Most will have some geometry they already use to merge into the students file but this can still be troublesome in differentiating between the correct geometry and the students incorrect geometry. What I like to do is save all my files with the geometry a different color, red is the go to for me, and I also move it slightly lower in Z. This way the merged geometry will not only be contrasting in color, but it will be hidden under the students correct geometry. Leaving only exposed red geometry where there is incorrect features.
Those who have access to our Mastercam Teacher Kits, I have added all the geometry for Mill 2D Lessons 1-8, with their exercise files as well, and added it as a download link at the very bottom of that page.
I do plan on adding similar content to the Lathe and Mill 3D Teacher Kits as well. I'd like to get some feedback on this 2D stuff first though, just in case any changes or requests come in.
