Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Sharing models

Hi All:
     I am like Bill (list Mom) in that I can do things a lot faster with a pencil and paper then I can (and many cad guys) do it on the computer.  I also still do most things in 2d but I have worked in 3d ( wire frames and a little solids).  When I am working on the computer I have to work out the dimensions.  In the time it takes me to do this I sketch out the part on paper to rough shape so I can get the size relations.  So since I all ready have the sketch I just add the dimension and then build the part on CAD or the real thing.  I like CAD and have used AutoCAD since version 2.4 (1985) and I have been working with NC since 1962 but, for a lot of things I still do it by hand.
     Because of this interest in improving my CAD I started taking photos of different tools that I am interested in making for my shop.  Just the other day I saw a different design for work support on the mill for sell on Ebay.  The two parts each had 117 drilled and tapped holes in them.  I was going to buy them just for the idea but they sold for too much.  So, I took a photo of the enlarged picture on the screen with my phone camera and printed it.  From the photo I was able to scale the unknown step size and now I can draw up the project in CAD and share it with you folks.

                                                                                   The other Bill      (Thomas)

                        MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!
