Help..Mechanical Practice Files Needed

Hi:);

Can anyone send me mechanical 2D and 3D practice files for acad 2008? As of the moment I am a self-studier/beginner and I am practicing using acad 2008 with old mechanical drawing from my previous company and old school notes.

Most of the files I get in the net are Architectural, etc...

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks!

I dont know how much of a beginner you are but this is a good tutorial for beginners, it covers pretty much all basics.

Let me know if it helps...and I will try to find more.

Some of the best sources of mechanical drawings are from books. I've listed two or three sources here in the past. Try searching on "French" and/or "Spencer" (two noted authors).

Basic Technical Drawing by Henry Cecil Spencer.

Engineering Drawing by French.

Technical Graphics Communication by Bertoline & Webe.

Hi BDesign: I checked it out previously and have downloaded the lessons. Have you any links to simple-intermediate mecahnical technical drawings that I can use for practice? Thanks! voltron ------- Hi ReMark; Thanks for the tip. The tips that you sent me with the links and all are really helping me out. I am now keen on Technical Drawing and refreshing myself with my school day drawings, the reason why I am asking for additional drawings. I seem to remember author French from my school days... I really don't have the means as of the moment to purchase books since the economic downturn and lately the typhoon Ketsana which devastated my country (Philippines). I'll check the net for free e-books about it. Thanks you dude! voltron

Let me check it out and see what I have that is not proprietary.

Voltron: If you want to PM me with your address I could photocopy some pages out of the books I mentioned and send them to you.

Philippines...right. Typhoon...yep, I heard your country took quite the hit. Sorry to hear about that. Were you in the path of the storm?

Hi ReMark;

Yeah, we were right i the middle of it. Most of my countrymen are still back-to-zero because they didn't have a chance to save anything...We are still under state of calamity in selected areas. Yes sure I will PM you my email address so I could receive copies from you.

Thank you very much.

Voltron:

Our prayers are with your countrymen. A terrible "state of calamity."

Good luck with your AutoCAD studies.

Hi Tankman;

Thanks your prayers and help is deeply appreciated.
