RE: Horten Go229 Drawings
Well, it is quite a long story. I emailed the guy mentioned in this thread. We were suppose to work on it together. He never did mail me the information though. Then my wonderful country decides to stick me in jail because of a paperwork error... So, I am currently working on a few things. The Horten is on the to-do list Jonny

RE: Modeling Software
OK one more time. I must hop on the soapbox for AutoCAD Users. I just read the rest of the thread for the few weeks. A preface first. I was a btea tester for Auodesk for years. I get it for free now. As far as AutoCAD's drafting none can surpass it. Nothing. As far as solids go, it goes. Out the door. I think it is harder to use than Catia is. I use CADKEY for alot fo things that I hate using AutoCAD for. 3D is one of them. You are always drawing in 3D in CADKEY. AutoCAD is to detailing what UG NX is to Everything else in the world. Jonny Thanks for your'lls timew. <yes I am a hillbilly>

RE: Modeling Software
I mean I lied to the contractor about me knowing. I am not the only there struggling wwith it. The full time employees have been using it for about 6 months now and I have passed up 2 of them in only a month. Remember people, DATA CREATION in the software you are using. It transfer to other software albeit in different commands. Jonny Hope this is the last post tonight :-)

RE: Modeling Software
One other thing, using CAD software of anykind is like using the other. It is all about data creation. Once you understand how data is created it that program you have it made. I lied about knowing Catia. I know how data is created in it because of SolidWorks and UG experience. Heck I learned Inventor in about a month. Not because of brains but because I understand the data creation in high-end sketched based software. Jonny

RE: Modeling Software
I agree with you, both Unigraphics and Catia are not for the feint of heart. The are the top of the line graphics software. There is no better. I use SolidWorks 2003, CADKEY Workshop EX21.5 and AutoCAD 2005 in my business. I use Unigraphics NX, Catia v5r13 and AutoCAD 2005 at my current contract. I know from past experience in forums that if you mention something you usually get a reply sooner or later. I am looking for a license file for UG or Catia. I am not going to take the files from my current contract. That is a bit unethical to me. I will pass out my license file for CADKEY. It is no longer being produced. KEYCREATOR has replaced it. I may even do the same for SolidWorks. I only want a license for Catia. I do not have the machine to run it. I do have the machine to run Unigraphics though with a 2 gig mem upgrade. I will trade copies of Catia and UG NX for a license file. Jonny

RE: Modeling Software
This will get me banned for sure. I use Catia v5r13 and Unigraphics NX at work. Now have a copy of Inventor 9 and SolidWorks 2001Plus for home. I have copies of UG NX and Catia if anyone can find licensing files for them. Oh, by the way if you are not running dual 2.66 ghz 1.5 gig memory and the latest in Catia compatible video cards do not even bother talking about Catia. My machine at work chokes. I design dies for the auto industry. My assembly files are an average of 200 meg in size. Catia sucks the big one, but we have no choice as our parts are coming in Catia now. SolidWorks is very close to Catia by the way, it is owned by Dassault Systems as is Catia. For a comparison, UG is like AutoCAD, Catia is like a right handed man designing with his right arm cut off and his left hand stuck... Jonny

RE: Free Extra 300 Plans
This may cause me to receive alot of flak... If you order the AutoCAD 2005 CD... there happens to be a file you can "locate" and download to make it a full installation with NO expiration. And for the record I am a Registered Paying user of AutoCAD 2000i, AutoCAD 2005 and 3D Sudio Max 5. Just an idea for those of you that have no access to a CAD package that will read/write dwg and or dxf files. Jon

RE: Northrop N9M Plans Availability
Well people here are some pics to wet your appetites. The model was designed and rendered in 3D Studio Max R5. I am considering selling the model as it took quite a bit of time to create. It could be used to make a set of plans. I am currntly trying to buy a 3d model from Andrei Shepelev in Russia. Here is a link to a few pictures of his book and the 3d model: http://home.planet.nl/~otten100/ASHO229.html Craig, I have not forgotten to do your drawings, yet [:)]. I plan on doing the dimensioning this evening and emailing them to you tonight. You should have them in the morning Indiana time. Jon
