 |
|
I tried to post this sometime back but it seems it never got through for
some reason.
For anyone looking for a CAD tool to help them with building a Zenith the
folks at Unigraphics has recently released their 2D version of Solid Edge
for free download. The package previously sold for $999 USD and includes
some neat features like parametric sketching. Basically this allows you
to sketch a shape and then add and adjust the dimensions later. (Just be
careful to not over constrain the sketched object.)
If interested go to www.solidedge.com/free2d. You will have to give up
contact information to them and you can expect a follow up call.
Full Disclosure: I have not actually loaded the software but someone in
the office where I work has it. My employer also uses the 3D version of
Solid Edge exclusively. I do use a similar product that has an ancestral
link to this product.

I've downloaded this software (it's huge) and it works quite well. I did get a follow up sales call and once I told him I was just building an airplane and not looking to move up to 3D, he wished me luck and thanked me for trying their product.
There's a great tutorial at the beginning that takes you through drawing a right angled part with matched holes, so don't be afraid if you have little CAD background.
