Does it cycle suspensions and stuff? is that how you guys use it to figure out 4 links and stuff? how do you make drawing like cages and junk? Just curious...:) LAME 04-11-2003, 01:41 PM It's like photshop with dimensions:D sceep 04-11-2003, 01:42 PM It took me 24 months to finish an 18 month course and $20k to leard autocad. yeah.. i got screwed. :( zakk 04-11-2003, 01:43 PM so can you cycle suspensions? sceep 04-11-2003, 01:44 PM it can.. depending on the program.. autocad sucks for shit like that. some of the solids programs are on the ball and then there is always pro-e derek 04-11-2003, 01:51 PM its good for drawing circles and lines.:flipoff2: derek WindRider 04-11-2003, 02:13 PM Just about any CAD that lets you "cycle" or animate your drawing is going to cost some big $$. You can do a close aproxamation with AutoCad by blocking and then rotating the parts of the assembly.
