CAD for free ..........
Darren:
Oh yes, I know what you mean now by "offset" used it many times myself in AutoCad .. No, don't hink this one has that... shame
But what it does have is a gear calculator ... that's brill :)
I have two gears and wanted to work out what size blanks I needed to make new ones of different sizes. This prog tells you :)
OK, I know, I need to learn the sums for myself ... :doh:
Darren:
What annoys me with Autocad is that my ver doesn't work with Vista or Win7
So I need an old machine with XP on it just for CAD .... that's really irritating !!
Darren:
And here's the gears I would like to make :)
John Stevenson:
Quite a few freebies.
In no particular order and you will have to google for download links.
A9CAD a lot like Autocad
Progecad LT same as autocad but legal to run.
Bricad another Autocad clone
Dolphin CAD free to use but the cam side needs a licence.
Alibre Express free 3D modeller
And probably the best deal out there for 2D CAD is Solid Edge Origin, full parametric program for free. Parametric is where you change a part and the whole drawing updates itself.

This thread is moving too quick for quotes :bugeye:
1) Darren .......... if they have omitted an "offset" command that's a bit like having a "chocolate" fireguard :scratch:
2) Vista ........... where's the "spitty" smiley ....... that's why my "Vista" went in the bin and I re-installed XP ...... and will continue to do so ......... CAD is more useful to me than "shiny windows" ........ that's not a Tina Turner track is it :coffee: .......... steam is involved somewhere ::)
forgive my ramblings :poke:
3) JS ............ thank you :thumbup:
