Pelfreybilt Off-Road

I need a design program for my Mac so I can you some deigns for my bed rack. Know any programs?

 

No clue. Especially for Mac. I use Solidworks, Surfcam and Omax but they are pretty specific to manufacturing. Something that works for sketches I really don't know.

 

Hey Tyler...if you're not busy this week...would you mind showing me around AutoCad a little bit? Waiting for a call back on a job (hopefully tomorrow!) and they asked if I had any experience (no). Would like to be able to walk in on the first day with at least a basic understanding.

Interesting

 

I have inventor fusion, and google sketch up on my mac, i like them both, but haven't spent enough time on them to tell which is better.
best part is they're free.

 

Autocad isn't internet explorer. You're going to need more than 20 minutes of being shown around to do anything. Moat people take an hour to make their first line.

 

Translation :

Jeff told them he does it in his sleep & now must cram for it....

I've got an etch-a-sketch.......

better scratch that.... all the sand leaked out, so I've got an etch....

I hate partying with people like that....

 

I don't use Autocad, haven't touched it since early 90's, much like most other people.

 

I use AutoCAD professionally

 

Ahhhhh. Well, it's for road surveys. I was shown a giant blueprint and the guy said I should probably familiarize myself with AutoCad. Ok well, I'll watch a bunch of videos all week and see if that helps lol

 

Haha, so you're that guy, I heard about you.

 

They probably just need you to be able to navigate thru it, extract information etc, not actually draw anything. That's no biggie. Autocad is very user friendly and very good for stuff like that, its just not as strong with the 3D modeling as some of the other options out there today.

 

Good to know Thanks guys

 

I design modular homes. Would much rather use Revit but my company hasn't stepped up yet haha

It's basic and time consuming, but you can draw anything with enough practice. I've designed a bedrack and sliders just dicking around

 

i do love me some autocad. due to the ease of use, almost anyone can sit in front of the program and have a very basic idea of functionality in about 20 minutes. from there, it allows you to quickly and basically plot down ideas to later come back at with solidworks or the like.

 

I really do like inventor in my limited use of it.

 

My front bumper is being built by Tyler as we speak and I CAN'T FRIKKEN WAIT TO DRIVE DOWN AND GET IT!!!!

 

Maybe Tyler can time it so we can caravan and I can pick up my front AND rear bumpers!
