Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAD experiment entry

Here's mine created in Autodesk Inventor 2009 Academic. Models posted in
native Inventor IPT as well as STEP, IGES, and STL. Drawings posted in
native Inventor IDW as well as AutoCAD DWG and PDF. Solid modelling took 3
minutes 35 seconds and preparing the print took 7 minutes 30 seconds. The
only premade tools used were my standard Titleblock template.
