Thanks to EVERYONE'S help. I finally have a part made. Granted i had to do it different than the book said to, but it still came out great. All i did was set the dimensions to half of what they were supposed to be for the revolved protrusion.,

In a revolve, if you create a dim by clicking on the entity, the center line, the entity again and then middle mouse to place it, you'll get the diameter.
 
Im pretty stocked that i made that part. Though it took me 6 hours. GRRR

I also learned that if i choose my sketch plane as FRONT and the ref as RIGHT and the orintation as RIGHT. it is exactaly the same veiw as FRONT TOP TOP.

Check out Leo Green's Tutorial videos. He does a turbo fan in one of them. Lots to learn from his stuff.

NICE, thanx dude. SOrry for such a LATE reply. Finals are very very soon so i have had math test after math test and all my isometric and orthographic hand sketches are due this week so i have been swamped.

Here is the turbo fan blade that we had to create.
