How can I draw spiral with precision?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I like old ironworks, and i want to learn how to draw complex shapes in AutoCAD, as you can see on the pictures, with good dimension.

King Architectural Metal's has a digital download category of all their products in DWG format

 

Bookmarked! :D

 

I sometimes have to build models of fences, gates, etc. and this could really save me some time. Thanks.

I have found an old book that explain how to draw special shape by hand ;)

You can do a lot with Illustrator/Inkscape on those images once you learn to use the program, much better than doing it all by hand.

 

Unless it was critical for accuracy, I would find something close and use that.

 

Then again, you did ask for information on how to draw them in AutoCAD, would be nice to reference the old book you found.
