| Autocad Library? |
| << < (3/8) > >> |
| Bill_S:
How much space would be required to host the library? I don't use much of the space allocated to me by my ISP. Would it all fit in there? |

Not to mention with distiller it would be another short step to PDF for folks who dont have Autocad and want to "cut and paste" a control panel. |

1up has already modelled many of the individual parts of a control panel in 3D Studio and has made them available on his website. It is by no means complete, and many parts are not there, but it's a great start/contribution to any library. |

How about starting a list? The popular ones people would need: happ super happ competition happ ultimate happ triggerstick happ 360 happ rotary happ ms.pacman replacement 4-way happ comp pushbutton happ horiz pushbutton happ 3" trackball /w mounting plate happ 3" highball trackball /w mounting plate (maybe other ones, too, but 3" seem like most popular) oscar spinners (and joystick restrictors?) and wico ball top joys? SNK ls-30s? various pushbuttons (like atari cone start button, or small momentary contact buttons for system controls) leaf buttons/switches t-stick, j-stick, etc cup holder - these are just suggestions- |
| OSCAR:
I was actually planning on hosting my library right on the Oscar Controls site because I have plenty space and bandwidth, that's not a problem. My biggest problem is the amount I time I have available to work on my drawings. :) What types of drawings would be most useful? 2D, 3D? I have most of my stuff already drawn in 2D, either section views or plan views, but some of the simpler things like buttons I have in 3D. It's extremely easy to convert between imperial and metric units, so as long as everything is drawn full scale it really shouldn't matter. Here's a shot of one of the pushbuttons I've been working on. |
