Thank you. I've downloaded nanoCAD and will give it a try.

I'm planning on using it to produce a diagram of the wiring on my 

Kitfox (which did not originate from a very carefully thought out 

plan) and then presenting it to the list to for advice on modifying it.

   All of the z-figures are available in both

   pdf and dwg formats. NanoCAD will open, edit,

   print and save the .dwg drawings. So you can

   start with a almost-but-not-quite drawing

   and modify to meed your needs.

   Have you used a cad program of any kind

   before?

Thanks, I'll do that. I have to first figure out what my setup actually is. The wiring was mostly five by a friend of mine who's been flying for 30+ years and who built a few planes before, including one of his own designs. 



We discussed certain things like OV protection and the ability to turn the Alternator off (which he considered unnecessary on a Rotax 912 while using its inbuilt generator, but which I insisted on) but I didn't make a note of all the schematics at the time. I'll have to sit down and write it all out.

No. I tried poking around last night and was able to open the Dwg files on the aero electric site. It took me a while to figure out how to simply copy and paste items and then I had to scale them to make them fit what I had drawn...  Seems like i might save done time with some decent training material. Are you aware of any?



I'm considering buying TurboCAD but most of the stuff on ebay US doesn't ship to Italy so it would be a bit convoluted to do so. It's so difficult to get hands on stuff here compared to the US where you can just order and get it overnight!
