tds73 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Is there a way to post a dwg. that forum members can open? That way one could look at it and manipulate it around and see exactly what is going on.I have one drawn up with the existing 30" and the 44" existing. Then one would be able to see what it is that needs to be built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tds73 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Sure it can. That's what it's designed for. Talk to your reseller about an upgrade. You can download the Trial at autodesk.com for 30 days just to test it all out. I am currently using duct designer 3d. One problem may be the fact that I have an older version, it cannot accomplish what I need with out total user input. Maybe a newer version could do it, but now I am trying to convince the company to upgrade my Autocad so I can upgrade my duct software. Now on the other hand, our engineering company has mep. So if I go up there with all the existing pipe in place , and tell them I need to get from point a to point b , and explain the route I need to be near, they should be able to plug it in and give me the answer? If so , that would be my last resort. I would really like to figure out how it is done manually, just for my knowledge if nothing else. I am also sure having that knowledge would be a building block for future predicaments. Kind of like, we had to learn math in school , even though everyone owns a calculator.

tds73 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Sure. Just click on the "Go Advanced" button below the Quick Reply box, and you'll see the upload manager below the post box. My drawing is too big, 370+ kb. I am not smart enough to get it smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Run a PURGE and get everything out of the drawing, save. Then Right-click > Send to > Compressed Zip file. That should get it down small enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
