I´ll do one in Rhino.
Will take a few minutes, when drawn.

Rhino opens nicely all the IGES files so far.
Rhino supports EXCEL links for table driven objects, to an extent.

If there was need, I could do a 3DStudio version as well.
(Some sw is not yet installed on this, me new PC. Still setting up mills
and lathes after move).

Your explanation re: named dimensions was EXCELLENT !
Many, many thanks.
Implementing similar stuff for me will be easy, now I know what to base
it on, ie named dimensions, in Rhino.

Also, the explanation re: production stuff was great, great, great.
Very much appreciated.
