So i basically got free range to use a laser cutter and cut almost anything i want. i was thinking about a nice rigger but kinda want something else maybe a tunnel or cat?:w00t:

anyone have any ideas or some nice plans?:confused1:

by the way the biggest sheets of anything that can fit in the laser cutter is 12in by 24in.

Oh, nice. A little too big, a little scaling possibly. Are the plans on paper or in pdf/dxf/dwg format?

heh i used AutoCad 2008 along with Rhino where the cutter is and 2007 at home.

you know when you orbit the objects in 2008, why does it turn into a solid block? it makes it hard to find the view i like to work on.

btw i have never heard of solidworks...:confused1:

Here I offer to help and you put me on the spot with something I know nothing about!!! UGH!:doh:

I use AutoCAD 2007 - haven't touched 2008 yet. I only make drawings in orthographic and isometric views.

I believe "solidworks" is the 3D modeling feature from AutoDesk.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

My dad uses autocad everyday, he may be familiar with your question, his user name is peells. I think he has 2008 version at work and 2006 or 07 at home.
