Paul, I don't know for sure what overflowed the last attempt at
this. Gmail showed a 15 MB limit and the file was 12.3 MB. The
yahoo limit shows 10 MB so I went to deleting again and got it
below 6MB by eliminating the derivation of the design, inserted
raster immages and anything duplicated. If you get this as
usual-no rights reserved- copy,  redistribute ,  all or any part
that can help anyone. The airframe drawing when pared down this
way is still 108MB. If you want this data_no rights rederved-of
course let me know a mailing address and I will send a cd by
snail mail. The airframe was entered in X-plane at sun-n-fun
2008 by Alex Portalatin at the computer workshop using only
700HP and was extremely stable except for too fast a roll rate
at full stop aleiron inputs and with travel stops that was
solved. at idle power it will come down but any attempt at
dumping altitude to land speed goes uncomfortably fast and it
floats forever. I am considering
 adding spoilers on the wing upper surface which has not yet
been added to the drawings while I sort out the 6 rotor but if
you want a copy of the current design send me a mailing address.

  It was
a five meg dwg. I tried loading it into two cad
programs. Rhino could not read it and the other one Qcad
will only accepted dxf.
What cad program are you using?
Can it export dxf, iges or stp files?

The other thing you can try is screen captures.
press the function pri scr key upper right
on the key board. Load MS Paint and paste into MS Paint
then save as a jpg.

If you use Linux the screen capture program saves directly
to a png file which is almost the same as a jpg as most
graphic programs and read it directly. I think the Mac does something
similar but I don't know how to use it.

If that does not work take a picture of the screen with
a digital cameras and send that as a jpg.
Here is an example of that last trick.

Paul, I am using autocad14 which surely can save as dfx since my old
autocad 12 which we had where I worked could do it. Also, the autocad web
site offers a free download which can also be distributed freely called
TRUE-VIEW. it is available in 64 bit and was also available in 32 bit but
the 32 bit is uncooperative trying to download. You have several screens to
navigate yhr first of which is as I remember on the left side of the screen.
Anyway the file is much too large to email but easy to download in 64 bit.
It will open autocad dwg format solidworks dxf and others and display on any
windows computer, a separate mac download should be available. You can zoom
in, check layers and print with whatever printer is hooked up to your
computer. it likely makes an image bitmap and prints that. The
program(TRUE-VIEW) is intended for customer review of drawings and does not
include the dimension commands.

It prints in the drawings layer colors so a
yellow layer on a blackground becomes yellow lines on white paper. The dwg
file is to scale and can be measured to 17 decimal places accurate to the
.0001 it is drawn in. The parts being to scale can be printed in pieces full
scale and the prints taped together for a part larger than a single sheet op
paper. Auto-cad has another download which I can't remember the name of on
their  autocad.com website that allows marking  notes of corrections  on the
drawings to send back  electronically to the designer.

I will try to get a
save in dxf for you today. I have rhino as a demo version and had to enter a
dfx version of my main wing  and fusaloge to use their loft command.The
start point of polylines had to be in the same plane for lofting so I don't
know how that would translate the 3D engine parts.
