Timothyl Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I buy moldings from a couple of local vendors but they don't offer DWG's of the moldings. What is the best method for getting a molding profile (from a catalog) into AutoCAD? Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothyl Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I've drawn several and it's good practice! I was hoping there was a way I could scan in essentially a whole catalog of locally available moldings and have them in my tool palette.

I would put a little more pressure on the suppliers to provide DWGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothyl Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have been talking to these guys and some of them are receptive to it. They recognize the potential benefit but on the other hand they say they haven't had much call for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
