Maiden69 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 You donated there are PRS drawings in the download area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee6 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yeah, thanks for the reminder. I downloaded them before. They're nice, but I'm looking for dimensions, specs, etc. The drawings will come in handy for carving. I figure when I'm ready I may just puchase a set of templates from the guitar templates site, which certainly make cutting out and routing easier.

spazzyone Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 the dimentions are in the cad drawing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee6 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Do I need autocad in order to determine the dimensions? Because all I get is the pic of the drawing. I've been downloading the dwg file vs. the jpeg. They both look the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PoonTangRat Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Sorry dumbass noob here didnt read the part apart having to donate :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks. I guess I'll have to get autocad first! There is a free version of TurboCAD 6.5 availible. Not from TurboCADs web page, but you can Google it and you will find the file. Don't get the newer "free" version. It will only work for 14 days. And TurboCAD opens dwg files. TurboCAD has two pretty cheep versions availible. I got myself TurboCAD Deluxe 12 for like 135$ but there is a even simpler version (no 3D) for 65$. And I'm sure they can be found even cheeper.

SwedishLuthier Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah, and then there will be no version of solidwork or any other SW that runs on Vista or the next OS. Cmon 65$!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PoonTangRat Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I know we are going slightly off topic here but when you are a student you can't afford to be spending $65 on a piece of software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee6 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Let's not get fiesty! We have a new member and should welcome him like everyone else. I recall seeing a number of times that many of our members have limited funds and that's what brought them here in the first place. In fact, we've got high schoolers, college students, etc. PoonTangRat (maybe you should think about another name? just a suggestion) If you make a donation it will enable you to access the download area that has a number of CAD files for your use. The instructions on donating are on the first page and on the home page. I believe there is no minimum. Swedish luthier's recommendations for free cad readers is great to know and will help you use the drawings. I've had a bit of a problem with a couple of the freebies (and my memory), hence my start of this thread. However, I have other guitar plans in pdf, if you'd like. See the top of the thread. (Just email me thru the forum) Enjoy the forum, there is an incredible amount of knowledge and experience here. It's essentially a luthier school online. There're all great people here and you'll notice a lot of regulars. I'm still finding my way around... And you will get a few good natured jabs. Just my $.02, no $.25!!

Guest PoonTangRat Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 A quick search on www.google.com came up with this I haven't tried it out but seems pretty much an easy viewer. Free DWG Viewer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherokee6 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 It's pretty good. I've used it, but it's only good for 30 days. Can't hurt to try it out to see the drawings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
