CAD Tool For Design Tiny Aircraft

How many do their check plots at 1/2 or 1/4 scale to
save time, ink & paper?
How many proof their CNC programs at similar scales
(in wax or Auminum or ..)?

 

This seems like it would be a helpful link.

Just want to summarize that SolidWorks seems to be what I was looking
for. Alibre's CEO makes a compelling argument about tactics of
salespeople to derail reason (in this case, he's talking about
SolidWorks), so I might at least give that a look. But I spoke to
sales engineer yesterday and SolidWorks is surely what I was looking
for.

Thanks for all the links Jon & All. I've been looking at them.

So much to learn, so little time.

WHY would you "think" that?
Other than it's about something else you have no clues about.

 

Jon Banquer! Small world, eh? I wondered what you were doing on

Hi Dana,

One day more users many come to realize that you really need both
approaches in one system. I believe UGNX 5 has made major progress in
this area and probably is the leading system for using both
approaches. KeyCreator should be adding parametrics and SolidWorks
should be adding more tools for working directly on non-native
geometry.

 

Such as their dimensions being their displayed Parametrics?
Pretty good for aircraft & airfoil shapes, is it? Or driven features?

The real problem right now is that the major CAM systems need video done to
cover their massive gap in documentation. I'm speaking of MasterCAM and
Gibbscam.

UPDATE -- July 8, 2007 -- I had to close this blog post to further comments and
to remove the personal attacks between Jon and some other newsgroups readers.
Before the interview, I made an agreement with Jon about the style of the
interview and the way to handle it. Jon didn’t respect our agreement, posting
comments under fake names. Jon’s authentic and fake comments are all posted from
the same IP address, 72.199.251.224. I can now see that my trust in Jon was
misplaced.

What version of Mastercam are you talking about ?

The current version has a HUGE help file with MANY MANY videos available via
links inside the help file.

Tell us again about your aerospace shops ..... P&W & etc. .... or if you've
ever actually even seen GibbsCAM or MasterCAM ....
Clearly you've never actually used either. Nor any other similar system.

 

And you get the history-based & parametrics back exactly how?
Using a fake-history generator?

How many bricks is enough to build a wall?

Because you are clueless.
HTH

 

Still utterly clueless, eh?
Another system you've never used & know nothing much about: UG.
