Introduction to patterns and the image

00:02

BRAD HENDRICKS: Welcome to item creation for fabrication,

00:05

I'm Brad Hendricks.

00:10

In this course, we will focus on patterns and the image.

00:17

During this course, we will cover three objectives.

00:21

The first objective will be creating a new item using

00:25

the make [INAUDIBLE] command.

00:27

We will be building 150 pound flange gate valve.

00:34

In the second objective, we are going to use an existing item

00:37

to create a similar item.

00:40

We will take that same 150 pound flange gate valve

00:44

and turn it into a 150 pound flange check valve.

00:50

And in the final objective, we will make and apply

00:53

the button image.

00:57

Creating a quality button image for your services

00:60

not only shows your professionalism,

01:02

but I consider the most important value

01:04

of a good button image is it gives

01:07

your detailers the confidence that they

01:09

are using the correct item.

01:13

So whether it is the corporate press

01:15

system, threaded stainless steel, PVC, or PVDF

01:21

mechanical joint service images should be clean and clearly

01:25

what the item is supposed to be.
