Auto CAD Drawings??

[JediJohn]

Does anybody out there have a scale drawing of a flatfender??

That would take hundreds of drawings <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">. Or are you just talking about one with outside dimensions? Either way, I don't <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

the only Jeep I did on autocad are not scaled.

[JediJohn]

I am looking for the basic 4 views around the tub ad frame nthng super detailed..but detailed ones could be nice to...

Ughhh, modeling a Jeep in AutoCAD would be a nightmare!!!

It's all about Pro/E baby! <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

Sorry, I don't have any models though. I did think about doing something with my TJ, but I really don't have the time being in school and working full time and all.

Is it 3D or 2d?...If it's a 3D drawing and you want it rendered then...in the render dialog box, choose "File" in the drop down menu in destination. after that you can click on "more options" and choose the file type. I personally like .TGA...adjust the resolution if you like, then click ok...you'll go back to the render dialog box...If you click ok, it'll ask you where you want it saved...

If you're drawing is 2D then you can use "export" under the FILE drop down menu. I export mine as .eps and then open it in Illustrator...do what I have to do with the image(crop, etc.) then save it as .jpg or .gif

Did you do this in AutoCad or ProE?? I've been going to play around with drawing a tub in Acad but who want's to stay after work when theres wrenching to be done? That and we just to Acad 2002 at work so I haven't had time ot play with the new version and figure out all the new 3d stuff.

I have 3D of my Willys frame at home, but that doesn't help much <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
I might create a Willys drawing for the hell of it.....make it look like the Vette in the sample .dwgs in R14.

Here is a snapshot of my project.

EFICJ5.0,
Looks great!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">'ey! how'd you do the tire?

[ 08-22-2001: Message edited by: solid ]

Man that's cool. I'm a paid Cad whore, and I can't do that. You're makin' me feel stupid. I had alot of trouble with the 3D in school. I just couldn't get the swing of it <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

[alancaster]

I built it using Pro/e's toroidial bend functionality. <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

[98DVL]

What version of Pro/E are you runnin? That's pretty sweet.

I s'pose you don't got an extra copy do ya? <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I've been tryin' to get it at home for a while now. Just don't got that $$$$$$ for a license.

Brent

Cool! But is there a reason why the tire and wheel are floating in front of a window? <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

I am on 2000i2. The computer is a dell 420 gigahertz with 2 gig of ram. I could get you a license for home but it would cost you a set of rebuilt full width dana 60's filled with detroits and disks all around! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Did you ever see the Discount tire ad where the old lady threw the tire through the store front.......? <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0">

We're still using Pro 2000i here at work (they like all the bugs to be worked out of a version before we switch) <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">.

I whipped up a quick rep of what I wanted my cage to look like one day:



(The spreaders in the front arent't supposed to be angled up. I just whipped it all together one day and never fixed it).

Looks good so far.

Are using swept features or pipe?

I used points. I designed my over head console in pro and had a machine shop build the parts.

I just created a bunch of swept features. It's not even to scale.

That 2000i^2 looks pretty smooth. I like the reflections there.

I picked up a kit from Tennessee Offroad and needed a way to show the guy I'm having install the cage what it will look like so he could quote me a price.

Where do you work? If you ever need a Pro/E job, let me know! We're looking for a few good engineers here at Raytheon.

That is too funny that you work for Mother Ray! I worked for Raytheon (RE&C, now Washington group) in Denver. I put a resume in with Tuscon and they never responded. <IMG SRC="smilies/pissed.gif" border="0"> I am doing contract work for thier competitors (Merrick & Co.)
