CAD / CNC help needed. * Lowboy plans now complete *
« on: May 27, 2010, 06:31:27 am »
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone here with CAD skills can help me finish off my Aussie Lowboy cabinet plans?

I've built myself one of these for myself and keep getting friends asking me to build them one. I've spoken to a local CNC company and they'll cut it all out for me at a reasonable price but need me to supply all the measurements as a PDF, I think that's what they needed...

My plans are about 90% complete (thanks to a member here some years ago) but unfortunately I lack the skills to finish it off...

Any help would be awesome  :cheers:

You already have a PDF with the dimensions in your zip file. I imagine they will want a DWG/DXF.

I had a look at your PDF and there are a fair few pieces to draw. I am at work today but I'll take a look at them later this afternoon or tomorrow as I have the day off :)

Could you confirm exactly what file type they want before I get to work on them?

Cheers Franco, here's what they asked for...

"Best format is either eps- or pdf to size (we could open and use the pdf you sent- but need it resized)"

I believe it was done in InDesign previously, those files should be in the .zip if that helps. There's a couple of minor changes to the PDF in the .zip file that need to be added also.

Many thanks,
Simon

PS. Cheers solidteezme, it's an Australian Lowboy cab, it's the one I'm trying to sort out some CNC plans for.

Just wondering how things are going with the building plans? I'm building one myself, and looked at the one Holdennut built. Always nice to have more measurements etc. before beginning actually begin.

I am building one i've designed using a lot of the measurements you used and RXII:

Many thanks to Franco B for all his hard work on converting and refining my Lowboy plans (found a few errors).

Anyway here they are, hope they make your project a little easier...
