CAD Plans?

02-05-2004

Okay, plenty of CAD plans around on the net for download, but where can we get them plotted out at reasonable cost?

Here's a selection of plans for download: HERE

Try me. I have a vinyl cutter, that also takes a plotter pen. I can plot anything (dxf, vector file) upto 600mm x 6m Price depends on detail and time taken to plot, but should be only a few quid... Postage is the stinger...

Terrific Joules. When the latest project is out of the way I'll be in touch.

A lot of these CAD plans are real sketchy - not much use to a beginner, but fine for us old hands. Notice your size limitations - can the plan be broken into strips for plotting? i.e. fuselage and wings on seperate strips, that sort of thing. Most of these plans have the wings above or below the fuselage making for one big square/rectangular sheet.

No problem, if your wing span exceeds 6m, I can put it on another sheet

Yeah, as long as the drawing is in a vector format, not gif, tif or any other bitmap, I can split and plot here.

I took note of your link and have downloaded as much of the free stuff as I could lay my mit's on... I also picked up some boat plans, if any of the other guys are interested.
