Hi Ron,

The chief reason for me was ease of use. I can draw just about anything. I work with the 3D model then break it down to 2D. I look at it as something that CAD SW 2000 lasted for 16 years, and is used today. So I was offered a 2016 seat at a less price I have both now

Talking about the creative features, I couldn't find a product that was easy to use ..
There are easy ways to send a SW file (other file types) and I get what I need from the machine shop.

Just want to edit, I have legal use for SW 2000 and SW 2016. Here is another forum that is a good example of what can be done

Hi Ron,

Looks good is that a 3D model.. Sorry to hijack this topic we should make a new one for 3D CAD..

Hi Ron ya its easy for me to make a helix. The assembly drawing using individual parts can be tricky. Believe it or not, my gif animation for my engine cycle was made using solidworks files. [flashsteam.com]

Neat stuff, Ron and Jeremy!

Hijack threads at will; I don't mind. It's those pesky Forum Admins you gotta look out for. One "start a new thread" from Authority Figures, and I'm "siryessir!" Somehow I seem to fit in this outfit, maybe kinda like "Oddball" [Donald Sutherland] in the weirdly anachronistic war/heist flick "Kelly's Heroes". Is it 1944 or 1969? Or 2000... whoa, what year is it, anyway? Well, whatever the number is, hope y'all are having a great new year...

CAD is "one of these days" for me. When well done, as you guys do, it sure looks great. Graphpaper/mechanical pencil, and lots of fine-point eraser/redraw, fit my shop purposes for now. I just finished 12 multi-piece sheets of paper drawings for the "Cable-Operated Valve", 34 parts, most unmodified/off-the-shelf, and all bandsaw/drill press machining, in the "Easy-Clean Vaporizer" system, in 3 days, several hours per day [I don't "punch the clock"]. Pro shops can work from that, for not much extra charge for paper-to-CADCAM conversion. And I don't currently plan to out-shop anything.

When you insert your 3d model is it possible to rotate and zoom areas.

Its been something I have been working on recently. Here is an example where the model can be rotated from its image and there is no requirement of the program.

I have a 1 pipe that needs to fit precisely, it has a helix about 3 turns, then is routed to its connections.

The only way I will be able get the proper fit just hand the CAD files to the CNC bender and what not could be established is done..

That is highly unlikely that they would be able to do that

That may be true. I think this is where rocket science meets steam engines. I have looked at many rocket engines and I wonder how the hell they bent the tubing for that.
