Drawing the Sandbox Log (amended)

This drawing should be drawn in CAD or Illustrator or both, if you are brave, at 1:1 scale drawing. Please reference the link below or the image above. Step by step instructions:
a) The first lines to draft are a grid of regulating lines spaced at 1" intervals in both the horizontal and vertical directions on your screen. These lines should not be any different from the hand drawn construction lines you used in your bounding space drawings. They will be very thin 50% gray lines.
b) Draft a 20" by 20" box in a black medium thick line, like the cut lines you drew in your last assignment, to indicate the extents of the sandbox.
c) Draft thick 25% (light) gray short crosses at the regulating line intersections to notate your points.
d) Represent the nails on the box periphery at every 1" as a medium line weight in 50% gray line. This line should be 1-1/2" long and project 1/2" into the sandbox.
e) Draft the circles. The circles should be a .45" radius, black and one line weight thicker than the regulating lines, and centered on the regulating line intersections.
f) Register notation about the perimeter of the box reading left to right as 1 through 21 and a though u from bottom to top on all edges of the box delineation. The font should be bold Helvetica or Arial and be 10pt.
g) Register notation housed in the upper right quadrant of each circle that indicates the particular location in bold 6pt Helvetica or Arial.

You can look at the illustrator file here.

A half scale printout of this drawing on 11" by 17" (or two halves on 8.5" by 11 sheets neatly and discretely taped together) is due at the beginning of class on Tuesday April 1st.
