Paul, try three. the export tab in autocad is where to save to many file
types. I chose autocad14(dfx.)  I clicked the file and it auto opened in
true-view2009 which must be installed on this computer. I tried rhino
version 1. The file symbol in upper left corner then select file type to
autocad14dxf from the list and it opened. the view " top" seems to be
the plan view and since this is a twoD working drawing that seems right.
text doesn't translate in other views. I didn't set the circle
performance numbers from the default and it is readable, just not as
smooth on the lines.What is left is the various cross sections up
through the core engine in true scale. I will be extruding, revolving
etc these into 3D solids and joining/filliting the solids for the solid
model shortly.As usual no rights reserved,  anything helpful to anyone
is available. this drawing has most of the mazda engine parts to scale
as well as RWS  RD-1B mounting plate with the coordinates in decimal
degrees translated from polar coordinates from the newsletter last
month.The stock side housings were deleted off this drawing and the
rotor was never drawn. Also the e-shaft between the eccentrics is
approximate not to scale.The tension bolt locations were measured by
dial caliper and the expected tolerence is on here somewhere.
Enjoy oshkosh, I have family visiting and can't get there.

The dxf file did not load. It appears it was not a vector dwg.
The error message was un supported data type raster image.

I am afraid the 3D world has moved away from autocad.

ACAD kept shooting them selves in the foot year after year making file
type after file type incompatible with the previous year's file type.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Did I say thank you?  I must have
missed this file the last time it made the rounds.

BTW, my outlook inbox nearly choked on it, but didn't.

Sorry. I normally don't send out files that size as they fill every
bodies
inbox. Brain fade on my part.

If they loaded OK into your CAD program can you render them and send us
jpgs?

Paul Lamar


Sure, but of what?  There are a bunch of different items on here.
Decker, Michael


Anything that looks interesting. Are they all 2D section dwg's?
