Beetle & Fuchs CAD Files
karmannghia60 - June 12th, 2003 at 03:40 PM

Read the other post about 5sp gearbox and topic of CAD came up. Thought that some of you might be interested in the files below. Done in MicroStation (I work for Bentley Systems so wouldn't touch AutoCrap :D). I drew the fuchs one myself but can't claim the beetle. Its a bit faceted but, gee, a lot of work

Raf, how hard would it be to draw up a wheel if you have an original to draw off!

N!

Fairly easy if I can get enough measurements

:thumb very nice. as for autocad it's not so bad if you know how to use it. I admit it's not flash for 3D but I get by. Ive got most of a vw motor drawing in 3D with it.

Don't know if the Beetle dimesnions are correct, didn't measure anything. Sure, if you want the dgn, let me know

hey how big is the dgn file? id be interested.

Hey Autocad isnt that bad, I find that I work faster with it than microstation (but thats probably cos we use autocad at work :))
