LMR CAD TEAM

Join the LMR CAD Team! We (Krumlink and -Gary) are a group of Experienced CAD users capable of designing stuff in CAD! We use the STEP file types to share files between all (Autodesk and SolidWorks) software. Put your name in below, and begin collaborative CAD design!

This post will be improved upon later, but we will post our collaborated CAD drawings, etc

Hi Krumlink, I also am a

Hi Krumlink,

I also am a CAD although mainly working in 2.5D in town planning. Use Autocad 8 at work but have never heard of STEP files.

Will do some research into them. I have designed a few RC aircraft but never in 3D. Count me in.

Hey team, I’ve had a lot of

Hey team, I’ve had a lot of experience with AutoCAD, Pro Desktop and SolidWorks through uni/work. I can do some pretty fancy FEA (finite element analysis), including stress prediction, thermal and fluid studies.

In about a day or so I should have my SolidWorks '09 back up and running, keep me posted.

i dont understand

a~~re you designing stuff for people? or looking for people who no how to use cad?~~

Looks like I’ll have to drop out

Found some info about the STEP files and we have no need for this at work so a bit hard to justify the expense (unless anyone knows of something better than a 10 day/use freebie).

As a famous Aussie once (supposedly) stated - such is life.

In autodesk inventor you can

In autodesk inventor you can save files as the STEP format instead of the regular .ipt, iam, etc files.

Will have to show yall the frame im working on. Lexan shield took longer than everything else!

This group will just be a cad group, ie we will create large complex group project, give out design tips/tricks, etc.

i’m in

i am not experienced in cad, but i will try to make my robot designs in inventor first, so count me in to post those.

is there any library with things like microservos and other parts?

The only CAD software I’m
The only CAD software I’m using is Eagle, for pcb making, of course.

Hey good thing this group,

Hey good thing this group, Krumlink & Gary!

Let us know if you need any tools to maintain the group!

Part Libraries
I will talk with Krumlink and see if we can get some of our Library files added somewhere. Maybe we can get a File upload area for cad files.

bobby · January 22, 2010, 2:13pm

Yeah, that would be cool
A place with tons of robot CAD files : D
