Any proficient users on the board. I need to have a couple of simple pieces drawn up but have not messed with autocad for at least 15 years.

Re: autocad
sketchup is pretty cool. I use Autocad, but for land stuff, not mechanical...Stefan

Re: autocad
^^^ Nice models. I use MicroStation & SketchUp - learned on AutoCad... if you're doing it yourself I'd go with SketchUp. It's easy to learn and free.Last edited by All_Euro; 04-20-2012, 01:46 PM.Comment

Re: autocad
Just to model the basic shape of an o-ring? Draw large circle with center radius, then circle perpendicular. sweep small circle around large circle.Originally posted by toplessvw View PostComment

Re: autocad
No i need to do two o-ring channals inside a cylinder. I am trying to draw out both top and bottom air bag plates that can be used on a audi A4 sport shock using double convoluted air springs. Similar to how the bagyard setup is. I was going to just do a set for me but decided to do them as a dwg so I could do a small run for those that would be interested.Been driving VAG for longer then allot of the members have been aliveComment

Re: autocad
Haha. Actually 3 including uploading the picture
Just create o-rings the way i said and a cylinder then subtract them. If you get me exact sizes i can do it up for you pretty easilyComment
