-**How to Laser Cut**
+**How to Choose a Hole Diameter for Your Fasteners and the Likes**
-.) Save the view that you would like cut using your Solidworks part and saving it as a .DXF file.
+Bearing holes should always be 1.125" in diameter
-.) Move to the computer next to the laser cutter. Open a new 24 x 12 in file on Adobe Illustrator and place your .DXF file on the sheet.
+Otherwise, for bolts and rivets, refer to this spreadsheet: [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18voqgjbJtyfr2O7htokv0n161DI1woDY9wG7nuWMSVU/edit?usp=sharing|Official Fastener Standardization Sheet]]
-.) Set the line thickness of your part to .001 in. Set the color of your lines to red for cut, black for raster, and blue to engrave.
-.) Print from Adobe Illustrator. Open the UTP application and select appropriate cut settings.
+**How to Structure Your CAD File Tree**
-.) Make sure to orient your part so that it cuts in the most space efficient way.
+Please refer to the EagleStrike CAD Standards for any questions about file structure that you might have.
-.) Cut the part, watching the laser to make sure it doesn't set anything on fire.

+Learn Solidworks! Solidworks is a CAD (computer-aided design) software that EagleStrike Team 114 uses to plan our robot out before we manufacture it. At the beginning of the year, our new designers followed these tutorials [[http://www.solidworkstutorials.com/solidworks-user-interface/|here]]. I recommend that you do the same before build season starts so that you can be on the same page as everyone else with the software.
