This is just an idea but would detailed design sheets help anyone?

i use autocad and have some very expensive software, would people be interested in drawings of parts, here is very basic design of a nos bottle, but is to scale 1/24, i can do loads of stuff like this, any requests?:bandit:

also here is a super basic x5 on 22's, i have created far more detailed drawings.

Which version of AutoCAD are you using?
I have 2002 here, as well as using SolidWorks and Pro/E.

2002, Inventor, Mechanical Desktop, and 3D Studio Max here....need to practice doing more 3D stuff and animations:)

but nice work...

How about a detailed blueprint of Volvo S60? ;)

S60R! :devil:

3d modelers could use your help a lot..using zmodeler (nobody knows i guess:p) and 3dsmax:)

how about...dunno:D

i heard maya was expensive:eek: i was about to download it from kazaa:D but figured it wasn't worth buying the manual and having to teach myself.....would be cool to take a class on it and they give u a free copy:p

i use acad 2002, architectural desktop. i have been drawing for 18 years now, love to get the details in! i work in construction and we do one hell of a lot of drawings on the multi million pound contracts. have access to anything i need,:devil:
if i can get a picture of something and one reference dimension i can draw it.

Same, as long as there is a reference to scale to:cool:

BTW, where in Kent are you? I used to live in Gillingham :)

wow...i've only been doine it for about 5yrs....worked in an consulting engineering company and it was pretty cool driving around and telling people "yeah, i drew the plumbing or the duct work for that building" :hehehe: and my favorite when talking to guys that work in construction is "yeah i draw up the work on the computer that u build"....but i don't have that job anymore:( but as i am only 23....i have a lot of fields to explore:D

You got laid off? When:(

well i am 21, and have been in the construction industy 2.5 years now, i have worked on buildings in canary wharf and now on a £600,000,000 job in blackfriars, very stressful, hopefully starting my own logistics company. I live near dartford in kent.
it does piss people off when people over twice your age ask permission from you to do things tho, am acting jr project manager/cad manager at the moment

that was last year...i was 22 at the time and given a "leadership" position over the cad room....well that day we were slow and the boss wanted us to come to his house and help him move....well i was plotting some very important drawings that was to be shipped out that day and the boss told us "let's go"...well i passed the task over to the new guy (not his 1st time in the business)...told him to the the drawings off the plotter and my desk and to take them downstairs...well i come back in the next day and guess what...drawings were sitting on my desk that i told him to take....the boss is steaming mad b/c the secretary downstairs didn't look thru them to make sure they were all there just took the guys word that they were....he asks me what happened and i tell him the truth...i told the guy to take the drawings off the "plotter" and my "desk" and he didn't take them off my desk....well they played it like i was putting the blame on him and i could have said "it won't happen again blah blah blah" but he asked what happened and i told them and i got fired:mad: but now i draw up lubrication systems for automatic lubrication systems on construction equipment, dump trucks, tractor trailers....etc...don't like the job and would like to find another...but don't want a lot of jobs on my resume

sorry for the long story

No need to shout ;)

Not quite been drawing that long myself, maybe 15 years, but I have the age advantage ;)

Last time I was in Dartford was just after the bridge was completed, a while ago now.....

here is another drawing that was created from a photo, and will follow with a focus in a min

here is the focus

what kind of construction work do u do?? i did plumbing/mechanical/electrical work at my previous job and part-time at home for another engineering company.....that is b4 my computer died:(

I'm another that has been useing autocad for a living for 14-15 years
My Job just requires 2D mechanical detail and layout drawings.
Sample here (http://www.cleevemh.co.uk/drawings/test-plant.dwf) but you will need a dwf plugin first.

Steve, looking at the system you posted a link to there, have you ever had any dealings with Flexicon Europe?

nice....u did that?? that is begging to be in 3D...not may jobs require 3D....the most 3D that i use at work is iso's

i work in the ductwork airside package, me and my main project manager get given the prestige work. its pretty cool, loads of money availiable to buy gadgets for the office coz no1 else understands what they are for and think i need them!!!!!! but the money is fantastic and i am learning all the time,and the mor i know the more i earn, we have used a thig called A3D, which the whole job and building are drawin in 3d, including manufacture drawings. Main benifits include real time walk rounds and auto clash detect, lus the fitters love the 3rd angle views when installing. at present we are working in blackfriers on a 350,000 square foot office block for mellon bank, very very nice, biggest floorplan in the city at the moment.
