<DIV><BR></DIV>I used to sell the hp pen ploter (draftmaster), but I gave up
on ACAD years ago I could not keep fixing it with add on software like I have
one for all the hardware (nuts, bolts, AN hardware)<BR>and god dang try and
loft a wing ie all the ribs. To be shure Im talking about swept back wings
with taper ratio, and try to start out with a NCAA wing formula ..... can you
say real ugly... doing by hand is almost easyer.... Go find a copy of Pro
Engineer and Pro Mech. I lofted a pair of wings from NCAA wing formula in
under 2 hours.. (most of that time was reading the book)... Plus it does my
springs and force predictions... cool stuff....<BR>Cris <BR><A

<P>Nnooby here with a comment and a queston. . . .</P>
<P>The old carousel type pen plotter. I was given one when it quit working.,
5 years ago. <BR><BR>The problem(s) is/are service and maintenance; pens
& inks, parts, knowledge-able people and drivers. I've not found any one
in my area willing to admit to knowing how to get it going. (Sacramento
Calif. ). I think the problem with mine is the hard disk. Only reason
for that is it was working fine until it quit. Computer could not seem to
talk to the plotter. Boss bought a new HP inkjet plotter. Way better. Way
better. The old one was much more fun to watch tho. <BR><BR>If it were me I
would watch eBay and such for a used inkjet or equivalent. </P>
<P>AutoCAD! I'm using Rel-14. Loads in ,.5seconds flat. 3d capable -
rendering is primitive but adequate for me uses - 3D aircraft. . . Tedious
but I find numerical precision easier than in Blender or AC3D. But I'm
trying them also. <BR><BR>My reason for being here is to pick up what I can
about the design/const of cockpit sims. Of particular interest - force feed
back on controllers. Are there archives I can search? Point me for further
reading. . . </P>
<P>Thanks </P>
