Google does not know ****. But you allready knew it.

Tonight another try....learning is not as fast as I though. Took couple hours to draw a plate that has a recess and PCD to mount electric motor + three cylinders to model wheels.

Yesh...magical word is "pattern" :doh:

Andrew,
I had the same problem a while ago, I too remembered the IBM keyboards that came with IBM Systems.

After a lot of searching I came across 'The Keyboard Company' who supply some really good solid keyboards.
And they are a UK company in Gloucestershire, but not UK made keyboards. They know a lot about what they sell and the options.

You might find the prices a (mild) shock if you would normally buy the ones available on the High Street. But for me they are worth every penny.

And they have selection. They even have an up-to-date version of the original IBM keyboard.

I bought, on their recommendation, a Filco FILCKF15 which is as near to the IBM in use as I can recall. You can specify the key tops you want.

You probably know a lot more about keyboards than me, when I ordered the second one, for my CAD system (Inventor) I accidentally ordered with blank key tops!, but the quickly supplied me with the UK tops, but an expensive mistake by me. I should have known better and read the specs more carefully. The first came with a uk set any any way.

Delivery to me in Mansfield is usually overnight, even if I order on Friday afternoon.

Hope this helps

Thanks Jerry, I'll give them a call once I've rounded up the cull ewes that are going to market today.

OK, PCD was easy when I learned the word "patern" - and that has nothing to thin paper dress makers paterns.

Next problem: I want frame tied up to origo and there is no problem. Standard procedure. BUT I need a line - centre line for a pivot shft on which the multiple part structure (belt sander/grinder) turns.

So I need an auxiliary line to which I can constrain a plane, where multiple parts are tied in relation.

Probably need more fitting names for this "line" and "plane" which are not "sketch", body, part or such but used as a reference plane to tie up parts.

Watch Lars's Youtube video on 'Constraints' - items and lines can be defined as specific relationships to each other
