    Dear Paul,
    do you have a CAD file of the 13B rew engine ?

    regards
    Roderick

    Yes. What format do you want it in?
    I have igs and dxf. Also native Rhino 3dm.

    Paul


    Paul,

    If you happen to have a .DXF or .DWG file for the 13b that you wouldn't
    mind sharing, I would love to have a copy.  Thanks very much in
advance.

    Regards,

    Jack Hilditch
    RV-9A (R) project

    I just uploaded one. Here is another slightly different version.
    Let me know if they don't work and what kind of CAD program you have.

    Paul Lamar

    Thank you Paul,

    I have AutoCAD LT 2000.  Unfortunately it will not open the Rhino
    engine.3dm file format you included in the zipped file. I've been
    meaning to purchase a copy of Rhino but, given the uncertainty of these
    economic times, my available cash has been going into the project
    instead.

    Regards,

    Jack Hilditch

    How did the dxf work?

    Paul Lamar


    Perfectly. AutoCAD opened it with no problem at all and I was able to
    scroll, rotate and otherwise manipulate the drawing. (Now I just need
to
    get a more powerful video card.)  Thank you very much.

    Regards,

    Jack Hilditch

    Hey Paul
       Id like to grab a copy of the file also but couldn't tell where you
    uploaded it?

    Mike C.

    It was attached. Check for that and get back to me.

    Paul Lamar

    Hi Paul
      I looked back thru the e-mails but didn't see one with a .DXF or .DWG
    file attached.  .3dm won't work for me but I think CATIA will open .DXF
    or .DWG?

    Thanks

    Mike C

    It is a zip file Mike.

    Paul Lamar

    That explains it... Boeing filters out Zip Files.  If you still have it
    can you change the ext to .txt or something and resend it... I can then
    just save it and change it back.  That's the only way I know how to get
    around the auto filters.

    Thanks

    Mike C

    Ok lets try this.


    Paul Lamar


Hi Paul,
Can you please resend me the .dxf file ?

all the best

regards
Roderick

Rename the file to .zip and unzip it.

Paul Lamar



I would need them in any of these formats: STP or Parasolid

Don Bedwell

Don, I sent them to you already in stp form.
