Unfortunately I think that machining the mold is still the hard part. But then, having never done one before, I could be wrong.

I drew this with a simple Mac CAD package called TurboCAD. They also make Windows versions. It's very inexpensive. After the $40.00 mail-in rebate, it cost me $60.00. It's not SolidWorks, but it also costs a fraction of the price.

Gene, I re-exported the DXF file so that it is now AutoCad 2004 format. Hopefully you can import either that or the IGES version.

Marty, no go on either one. The IGES version comes in really weird to Inventor and when I load the dxf into AutoCAD all it shows is a single circle. It's kind of strange.

My bad. I generated the IGES file in 2D instead of 3D. I verified the updated file with another CAD program and it seems to work now. As for the DXF file, there is definitely a problem with my CAD program and DXF exports. Give the IGES file another try and let me know how it goes.

Still no joy Mardy, sorry.

If you could give me a dimensioned drawing set, I could rebuild the model in Inventor.


Grant, have you read your PM yet?
