Greetings, I've collected a bunch of free gokart and ATV plans and I've posted them on my WEB site. The main index is at http://home.together.net/~dslee/ about 2/3's of the way down the page. There's other stuff there too like lathe and mill plans and other home workshop stuff. I haven't...

Greetings, I have lots of free plans (including ATV, Dune Buggy and Go-karts) on my WEB site. http://home.together.net/~dslee/ The free plans index is about half way down the page. Regards, David Lee

Rigid, If you can wait until the first of the year, I expect to have mine finished. http://home.together.net/~dslee/ David Lee

I can see that I've got a great deal to learn. What do I look for on the Thomas Register WEB site? Is it called PartSpec? David Lee

There was only one CD in the owner's desk drawer. I printed the User's Guide and the Tutorial while he was with a customer. I returned the CD before he came back. It wasn't in a box. It wasn't even in a case. It was in there with a bunch of other CD's. I feel like a kid in high school...

Can ACIS or ParaSolid files be converted to SW files?

I did the 97Plus tutorial. I must be missing something though. Although 4 hours for a cylinder may have been a bit excessive, it came out slick. Is there a way I can post it here and have you guys critique it and tell me where I went wrong? David Lee

"Today SW04 - Toolbox is shipped with SW Office and Office Pro, not just Pro. Back in SW97 I think Cimlogic was the company making Toolbox (before SW bought them up). If you go to Tools\Add-ins do you see Toolbox or Cimlogic in your add-ins if you do then all you need to do is check mark it. If...

"How many people are there in your company? Are others using some other type of CAD? -Bradley" Bradley; Let me count - the receptionest, the GM, the owner, me and five shop grunts. The owner has AutoSwindle light and he can't drive that either. I use my own VisualCADD for 2-D. "What I would...

McMaster's 3-D library can't be read by my version os SW. I'll try cadalod.com. DSLee

Bradley, Not unless I buy it myself. The owner bought SW97Plus years ago and could never figure out how to drive it. He's as tight as the paper on the wall. We even have to pay for our own the coffee. Being the owner of a small business doesn't necessarily mean you have an IQ above your...

Thanks to both. I've found SW97P to be fairly easy to learn and quite powerful but I don't get much help from the error messages. I drew a .750-10 hex nut with not problem at all but I just couldn't get the top a bottom corner radii. The nut looks acceptable to most here except me. I'll try...

Thanks for the responses. I'm new to Solidworks (and this job). The box I've been assigned to has Solidworks 97Plus. Nobody here know how to run the software. I've been here a month and all I know is what I've learned from the tutorial. I didn't enen know that there is a SW model library or...

Greetings, Does anyone know of a threaded fastener library for Solidworks available on the Internet. Freeware would be good. Shareware would be OK. Regards, DSLee
