I have taken CADD (Computer Aided Drawing & Design) for two years now. First year was the boring, learning everything about it and 2D drawings. This year we built 3D houses and designed paper planes that could fly the length of a high school basketball court. On my free time in class, this is what I work on. Note: Neither of these are completely finished. They are just what I have now and am currently working on. Comments welcome, and any tips are appreciated. Enjoy.

Anyone ever mess with CAD?

I've been working in Autodesk Inventor for about 3 years. I started back in R2, and I've moved up to R5.3 for now.
I took a brief class in highschool that introduced me to the software. Needless to say after about a week the class bored the crap out of me (working at the same pace as others in the class) I talked with the teacher, and he allowed me a copy of the program to take home where I advanced on my own time.
I have about 2 weeks total class/book time on this software, 90% of that being 2D stuff. I've been told I have a well above average mechanical / 3D mind.

Back in 1987 I used autocad - can you say BASIC stuff.
Then moved into Autodesks's Gerneric CAD (autocad, but really de-contentet, but hey for $99 what does one expect) software sometime in early 1991 and used it through 1994 to create basic dimensional drawings for product catalogs.
Four years of old school drafting in high school and my writing has never been the same. I graduated in 1988.

I'm doing an 2 year Associates degree in Cad-Cam right now. I'm in my thrid Auto cad class. We just started 3-d last week and are just starting surface modeling. You can draw anything in Autocad. If you ahd the time you can draw the E30 and make it look like the real deal but you'd need lot's of measurments. I haven't worked with Inventor yet but we have the soft ware at shcool and I'm required to take one class in either solid works, Inventor or Mechanical design. So I'll probally go with Inventor.85 325e 2.7 ITB'd stroker
