As they (generally) are not very sophisticated, I have been using a combination of Solidworks for designing them, then convert to. Most are one-offs, as each is designed for a very specific job, and fit in very specific places and spaces.
Along the way I have learned how to use a 3D printer, CNC engraver, Co2 laser cutter and of course the programs that design the parts and convert them into files that can be used to drive the machines mentioned above, namely Solidworks, Qcad, Inkscape, CamBam, Universal Gcode sender and K40 Whisperer.Īll in all I’m quite proud of what this old brain has managed to learn and produce.Īs part of all this I am having to produce a load of PCB’s. It’s a fantastic job that they have done, and as a result I now have really professional looking ‘cockpit’ panels that interact with the game. There is a whole forum dedicated to it that has loads of information and help with the individual panels, plus a clever guy came up with a program called DCS BIOS which outputs the game info to switches, LED’s, LCD displays and stepper motors for gauges using Arduino Nano boards. The current project is a homemade flight simulator rig to work with the DCS A10-C program.
Some backgound, I am one of those home bodgers who is always making some crackpot project and as a result is always learning. The file will be opened in the SolidWorks in the part design window.I’m a newbie to Fritzing, and I’m hoping to eventually use it to help me produce some PCB’s that at the moment I am struggling to make. Wants to import the constraints and dimensions. Select the required option like Unit of imported data. If it’s 2d Drawing then go for a 2D sketch and if it’s a 3d part select the 3d curves or the model option. Select Import to part as a 2D sketch or 3d curves or model according to the design. Browse the file and select it and click OK.įollow the steps in the pop-up screen “ DXF/DWG Import”.Then you have to click on Insert > DXF/DWG.Select the plane on which the DXF file will be inserted.In New part design means when you go to “New > part design”
The second way is applicable when we are in the “New part design”. To change the model orientation about the origin, select Rotate about the origin and enter the angle of rotation.Ĭlick Finish on any of the three screens to import the file.Adjust the origin values and click Apply.Click Define Sketch Origin and click a point in the sketch preview to define the origin.DXF file as a 2D sketch for a part, you can define the model origin and orientation.
