I have serious problems to use the dxf Files in Autodesk Inventor or in AutoCAD i am using the 2012 Version. Did someone have these Files in dwg or in a working dxf file??<br /> Thanks </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files/page/2#post-508 Tue, 25 May 2010 08:03:42 +0000 Jacques 508@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I recently completed a Solidworks 2009 version (down to the nuts and bolts) available in the download section with the explanation and a couple changes (fixing the y belt holes, etc.) at <a href="http://betaorbust.com/blog/2010/05/17/diylilcnc-now-in-3d/">http://betaorbust.com/blog/2010/05/17/diylilcnc-now-in-3d/</a></p> <p>Here's the image:<br /> <img src="http://betaorbust.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/DIYLILCNC.jpg" /></p> <p>All the best,<br /> Jacques </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-469 Sat, 01 May 2010 01:31:02 +0000 tkluysk 469@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I am interested in the assembled 3D model. I'd like to use it to visualize a length modification.</p> <p>I come from a film background, so I'm not super familiar with CAD packages. I work in Maya/Houdini/3D Max. Preferred formats would be DXF (3D), OBJ, or FBX. As long as grouping/hierachy is preserved. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-425 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:14:16 +0000 bfloresf1 425@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I am interested in the Solidworks files, do you have these available? </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/z-sled-mod-how-to-convert-to-dfx#post-318 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:12:14 +0000 Bill 318@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Yes, the CS4 version of AI allows exporting to dxf files. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/z-sled-mod-how-to-convert-to-dfx#post-317 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 03:25:07 +0000 DIYengineer 317@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Lol my fault, yes DXF. I was on my cell phone, driving as i was wondering how to convert it, and my mind made a typo. I don't own a mac so im A-ok. I'm sure i can source them up somewhere for free =)</p> <p>My brother has adobe cs4 master collection, i'm gonna see if i can open the AI file in illustrator and save it to a DXF.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/z-sled-mod-how-to-convert-to-dfx#post-315 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:21:22 +0000 Taylor 315@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>There will be many opinions on this, but we like to use Rhino. It's not free for the PC, but the Mac version is still in Beta and is relatively fully-featured. Sign up for the free download at <a href="http://community.irhino3d.com/">irhino.com</a>. Blender and Sketchup are two other free options that might support the export you're looking for.</p> <p>Also, do you mean DXF? </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/z-sled-mod-how-to-convert-to-dfx#post-313 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 23:40:13 +0000 DIYengineer 313@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Whats the easiest way to convert the .AI mod file, into a .DFX? I used adobe reader to open it as a pdf, but there are no dimensions at all? Should i open it as illustrator and try to save it as a DFX? </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-171 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 03:43:57 +0000 Chris 171@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>We've added a section titled Community Sandbox to the <a href="http://diylilcnc.org/downloads">downloads</a> page for community-submitted content. If you've been tweaking a file (converting from DXF to a different format, for example) or making improvements that you feel others could benefit from, please <a href="http://diylilcnc.org/contact">send it to us</a> and we'll post it for all to share. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-151 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:14:15 +0000 cgosnell 151@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Thanks, I should have all of the assemblies available by Jan 1, so I will hold off sending the files until then. Without the assemblies, they are no more useful than the .DXF files already available. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-150 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 04:31:41 +0000 Chris 150@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@cgosnell, that's great! </p> <p>Taylor and I are working on a member-content section to allow posting of just this type of content. We'll keep you posted when it's up. </p> <p>In the meantime you can send files you'd like us to make available for others to download to info at diylilcnc dot org. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-149 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 15:53:17 +0000 cgosnell 149@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Sorry about the late response... I have been busy converting the .DXF files to Solidworks files.</p> <p>Pro-E==WF<br /> WF (Wildfire) is the newest iteration of the Pro-Engineer CAD/CAM/CAE software suite, similar to Solidworks, Inventor, etc...</p> <p>My preferred format is Solidworks 2009 or 2010.</p> <p>BTW, I have all of the components designed in Solidworks 2009 now, and am creating the sub-assemblies. I have, by default, made all of the components .25" thick, but after reading the notes about the issues relating to the thicknesses of Masonite available, I may refine this to .240"(exactly the same size as the width of the slot).</p> <p>I can supply now all of the components shown in the .DXF files as native<br /> Solidworks files, but they are only 'dumb' components tat use the .DXF files as sketch patterns. There is no 'associativity' defined in the part files.</p> <p>I can turn over the native files at any time you wish (or to anyone who wishes...) </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-105 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:20:07 +0000 Open Form Architecture 105@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I noticed that in the DXF file the lines are all exploded and not closed polylines. This could possibly slow down some machines if they don't complete whole lines in a continuous fashion but rather jump around from one partial line segment to another. I have re-built the polylines in a .DWG / or .DXF file if it is desireable to anyone. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-82 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:33:57 +0000 Michael 82@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>The PDF file can be imported in an open-source line drawing software called Inkscape (Windows/Mac/Linux). From there it can be edited and saved as SVG which is a very common standard format that almost any software can use.</p> <p><a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/02/24/opening-adobe-illustrator-ai-files-when-you-don-t-have-adobe-illustrator.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/02/24/opening-adobe-illustrator-ai-files-when-you-don-t-have-adobe-illustrator.aspx</a> </p>
