1:1 Template Printouts

Xtreme Cartz · 01-01-2010, 01:44 AM

Do you guys ever draw and print out 1:1 scale paper templates for making brackets? Is there a simple drawing program for this? Paint doesn't come with an inch scale so thats out.

This would be a tremendous fab help and time saver for me if there is a program.

I can do it in autocad but, it is not a cheap program....

Xtreme Cartz · 01-01-2010, 02:14 AM

Yep autocad would do it. Which one do you have Scotty? Maybe you'd draw me up some templates and send them my way?

Well I was hoping for a simpler program. I dont need anything to extravagant. Suppose I could draw it the old fashion way on drafting paper but thats not as fun when we have computers and gadgets.

I have an older version I got from a company I worked for. Autocad LT2000... I'm not that good at it though.... Pretty tough program to self teach but, still fun. I drew up my engine cradle and stuff with it....

Cool that would be fun to learn and very handy to know! I wish Christmas hadn't passed already or autocad program would be on my list.

You better be real good if you think you are gonna get that next year ....

What are you drawing up?

Xtreme Cartz · 01-01-2010, 02:55 AM

Oh I will try

its the first day of the new year, if I start being good now maybe it will be enough time to rack up points with santa by next Christmas.

I want to start messing around with a program but dont have anything in particular to draw up right now. Most the things I have in mind are very simple. It would be nice to use a template for marking holes or laying out anlge cuts for various tabs and brackets. I probably could just keep laying them out by hand with a sharpie but this would be so much better.
