 Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2008 5:56 pm Post subject: CD ROM Question |
 |
|
I downloaded the CD ROM from the AeroElectric website, but I am unable to open the various drawings. I was told that the CD ROM should also contain .PDF copies of the drawings, but I cannot find them. Am I missing something? Does the purchased version contain more than the downloadable version? I am trying to find examples of wirebooks and wire labeling examples. [quote][b]

The .dwg files are opened with AutoCAD or one of its
compatible brothers like TurboCAD V7 or higher.
The downloadable CD is the same as the purchased one
which is the same as the website itself. CAD drawings
are found at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/ACAD_Architecture_Dwgs/
the .pdf versions are at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/Adobe_Architecture_Pdfs/
and both directories cited above are mirrored on the
CD

I found them. Thank you Bob.
Two additional questions:
- What are .SHX files, and what software is needed to access them?
- Are there any .PDF versions of the wirebook examples contained in
http://www.aeroelectric.com/PPS/ACAD_Wirebook_Samples ? (I attempted to
use the wirebook.exe file, but nothing seems to happen).
Thanks...

Those are font shape files. Of no use to you unless you plan to open,
edit, print and save the .dwg files in an AutoCAD-like application.
No, the samples are wirebooks-in-progress that were taken
from a client's project years ago. Again, intended to be
starting points for someone interested in saving a lot
of time in to crafting their own wirebooks in a CAD program.

It may not have been obvious but that is a self-extracting
.zip file. After you exercised the file, about a dozen new
files were deposited in the same directory. This too
is a sampling of .dwg files of use only to an individual
with CAD editing capabilities.
