Way off topic: any CAD people here?

Stan Conroy

Just wondering if there are any CAD gurus on this site? If so, what software are you using?

Well, you didn't say if you were talking mechanical CAD or electrical CAD.

I do Printed Circuit Board (PCB) CAD Layouts using P-CAD 2001/2002.

I also write Visual Basic utilities to support P-CAD 2001/2002. *grin*

Hi Jim,

It's amazing what you can come up with with Visual Basic. I wrote a CAM program to run within Rhinoceros with VB. I also wrote a automated hole function for Mechanical Desktop. I'm not done yet...

Hi Stan,

I work for an Architectural Engineer we use AutoCAD 2002

I have struggled to learn lisp and failed miserably. I have done quite a bit of customization of my AutoCAD. Then I got sidetracked with my exit from the Watchtower Bribe and Trash Society (tm)

Jim_TX,

What do you think of P-CAD, and is it inexpensive?

I looking for a schematic capture/router for work. We are currently using an old DOS based CAD (Draftsman EE). The company that made the program went out of business years ago. Unfortunately, we have a lot of boards created with this old program and I don't think we will be able to convert them to any other format.

For everyone else, I also want to add that, you can get a simple CAD program for circuit boards from www.expresspcb.com. It can only be used to order boards from them, but for about $60 you can get 3 boards (about 3.5 x 2.5) in 2 days. This is great for prototypes.

I have done CAD design for about 15 years or so.... 3D modeling/assembly. I just finished up a project at Boeing, working on a satellite...

And, I am always looking for work.
