first angle, third angle correction

Apologies. Gave some "wrong" information. With
autocad, you can place the views generated from a
solid model in any projection method you wish. For
example, from a front view of a solid model
solids>setup views>UCS>current ....
front view "setted" up
solids>setup views>ortho
"specify side to project"
click on right side of front view
"specify view center"
Now you can place this right side view on the right
side or the left side of the front view depending on
whether you are American or Dutch.

Hope this made up for any damage from wrong
information.
P.S. still think placing right view on the right side
is intuitive.

Ballendo,

Thanks for the lead. I had tried CO2car earlier with
no success.
in addition to sdp-si and/or techno-isel, found some
other things that are of interest.

Wonder if any of those toys can be EASILY drawn by a
low cost CAD, fed to CAM and machined safely,
preferably by schoolchildren?

Thanks again.
