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 01:03:42 +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 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:31:02 +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 11:14:16 +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/where-are-the-cad-files#post-171 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:43:57 +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 09:14:15 +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 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:31:41 +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 08:53:17 +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 14:20:07 +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 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:33:57 +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> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-36 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:26:45 +0000 Taylor 36@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Cgosnell,</p> <p>We are absolutely interested in diversifying our file format list. Solidworks would be great. Can you tell us a little more about Pro-Engineer and WF? </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-34 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:41:44 +0000 cgosnell 34@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Hi! I just signed up and am interested in your project. Let me know if there is interest in 3D files. I can make all of the cut sheets as Solidworks files (2010) preferred, or any other 3D format SW supports. I can also create files as Pro-Engineer files up to Wildfire 4 (Soon WF 5).</p> <p>Good work! I look forward to contributing to this project. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-19 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:59:54 +0000 Chris 19@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>OK, after some noodling with symbols, we've got everything as a DXF. It's in the .zip file under the <a href="http://diylilcnc.org/downloads">downloads</a> section. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-11 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:30:14 +0000 Casey 11@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Hi Chris,</p> <p>Could you please send me the .ai files?</p> <p>that would be a great help! i was importing them from the pdfs. should have read the forum first eh...? </p>
