netman Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 fish and sea grass.dwg Fish in siamese trawl 1.dwg Trawl Door with Tickler (basic) 1.dwg Aluette.Pelagic..dwg Given that I use these simple type sketches, is there a moderate level 3D program that would interface with AC12Lt. I'd like to get a little more professional look out of some of these. I am NOT looking at the intricate design you all do....just something that I can use with ACLt that would give drawings like these a little more depth. Is this feasible? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netman Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Is this a software that I get to try out and then buy or is it a software that is a BETA or something else? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netman Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Whoaaaa! I just went from Fred Flinstone and Bedrock to Jean Luc and StarTrek.... Thank you for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It is free software. It will time out I think about April of next year when I assume they will make the 2014 version available for free. I suspect this is a marketing scheme to compete with (read bury) the competition in direct modeler market. Inventor Fusion has been free for several years now. I recommend you search for free classes by Kevin Schnieder here http://au.autodesk.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 You could always try out SketchUp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netman Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 JD, Thank you for the information again. I'll look into the classes as this is all new, but i need to dress up my drawings. ReMark, I tried Sketch up several times, I just could not get it nailed down. I'll ride this out as there will always be some support from AutoDesk and the forums. Thank you too......
