Can anyone make me a CAD drawing?!
« on: 25 July 2011, 20:36 »
Hi all,

Im after someone to give me a little help or guidance. I have designed up a badge for the back of my car that i want to have waterjet cut from alloy plate.

I have drawn my design by hand a scanned it, but no company will quote me for it to be done unless i can supply it in either dxf or dwg. I have no idea what either of those files are as i have no experience with CAD drawing.

If anyone can point me in the direction of how to have this done, or even better is willing to do it, it would be very much appreciated.

Heres what im after....



I want it to be around 200mm wide and 75mm high.

Cheers

you can do the drawing in something like illustrator or Corel Draw and then export it as a .DWG or .DXF file.

also there are free "student versions" of autocad on the internet (use to creat a .dwg cad file) all you need is a student email i.e something with @"college name or uni name".co.uk or something. so if your wanting to give it a go yourself check out the autocad website.
