I have spent about an hour making these AutoCAD drawings of the uprights based on the IRS system we are using, which is loosly based on the ST rear end.

What do you think?

And:

There are 2 layers on both of the, Measurements (light blue) and the upright (white), so I am working out how to use it slowly.

Not bad for a first attempt.
You can turn of the grid by clicking on GRID on the bottom of the screen.
Dimension styles can be changed in Format.
You can make the outline as one line by typing pedit and use the join option.
Try using the arc for free hand drawing of circle parts,just go to Draw and click arc.

Thanks Cita.

Here we go in the edited form:

And

You have two toolbars on the left side of the screen.The top 3 icons of the right side bar can be used to put measures on the drawing.No need to make your own arrows-lines.

any chance of exporting jpeg or similar so those without autocad can take a peak?

yes, i know i'm awkward..

Ned.

Im with Ned too

I said it was my first shot, I don't know how to export, although I expect I'll work it out.

I've just started a ten week evening CAD course at my local college. I have a package at work which allows you to export CAD drawings as PDF's. I'll dig it out next week and try to post a link up.

I'm teaching myself.
