Looking for drawings I can 'borrow'
« on: September 19, 2007, 08:06:03 AM »
Good morning everyone...

I'm looking for drafters and designers from all disciplines who are willing to send me drawings they've done in order to help me debug the ACAD add-in I am working on.

I'm looking for LARGE and small drawings, preferably those with dimensions and notes. 

Please send them to me at gmyroup@digitalfreehand.com or upload them to the Swamp.

Thanks again

Jerry Myroup

I just emailed you a drawing using dynamic blocks, annotative objects and such. I stripped out the client information but other then that its one of our actual working drawings.  And yes, that client normally has that much information and pages for a little run of casework.  I have spent WEEKS drawing a kitchen for them many times.  Certainly pays the bills though  :lol:

I'd be careful with that Chris. That's company proprietary work you're sending off mostly intact. Hope that doesn't come back to bite.

It won't come back to bite anyone.... whatever happened to people actually trusting each other?

Thanks again Chris

Nothing against you, personally, but I think one would be irresponsible to think they could trust everyone with their drawings or anything else, for that matter.

What I gave is a good simple example of a working drawing of a very simple item of casework.  It has a few neat dynamic blocks and a few dimstyles that took time to work on, but overall there isn't much in the drawing I sent that is all that cutting edge or anything that we could not post in any public forum for general public review.

The owner and I have agreed that is in the best interest of everyone if we share some of our methods, we just don't give away the farm.  I handed him an apple in comparison.  If he can manage to take the one drawing and draw out enough to develop a whole cad system he can make money from and manages to be a business "threat" from such a small amount of info, then he is smart enough that he would probably be able to do that himself without the drawing anyway.   :-P  If we can't compete with simple good cad practices, we have more problems then avoiding the posting of an example drawing can help.

Now, you will notice I did NOT paste up my CUI file with the 12 different workspaces currently in use, my 1500 script files, my 15 or so custom tool palettes, or my whole block libraries, detail libraries nor all my client standards.  That would be dumb.  :-D
