Hey slamedcat, did you do that in autocad?

Yeah when boredom takes over I start getting all these stupid ideas for stuff to do on my car...and usually also get an itch to buy parts. I also cycle between the same 3-4 websites continuously even though very little of anything new is on them.

No a little more advanced. Pro/E 2001. Here are some more pics of stuff I have done out of boredom.

More advanced than Autocad R12 maybe.

I've done stuff like that in Autocad 2000 :dunno: must not be THAT advanced.

I'm using Inventor 8 (would like a newer version..but that's what I have).  I am not an ACAD fan myself having trained on Pro/E.  I don't think in ACAD, I think in 3D.  I have the Inventor (even though it's an ACAD product) because I got it for cheap and I can't afford the Pro/E price, but I needed a good standalone modelling program.
I just don't have enough time to spend getting too involved with it.

We use Inventor 10, (11 is on its way) which is DVD based now, and I can't imagine a more user friendly modler. I remember doing 3D in Autocad 2000 (we're on Mechanical Desktop '06 now) and the switch to a dedicated 3D Mech. program was like candy. That was 7. Autodesk subscriptions are great. I'm just glad I don't have to pay for it.
