If I had a CAD, could I use my jpeg images from Paint in the program?
crenshawchica asked:
For the past 7 years I’ve been designing clothes using Paint. I want to know if I’ll have to recreate those designs with CAD software or can I use what I already have?

How do engineers test their prototypes and ideas from CAD drawings?
johnny’s mombo asked:
Do engineers have a program where they can import the 3D CAD drawing and test it for physics and desired performance? Is there an industry standard simulation software for these things? If engineers design an engine or parts of an engine what is the simulation environment they test it in?
Please let me know your ideas and mention any software you might have heard of that is used in the (mechanical/electrical/auto) engineering industry - from laying out oil hoses for a piston to creating a rotating crank for that piston. Integration of circuits and electronics with this mechanical simulation would be ideal as well. I would like to design the “under the hood” portion of the car with this software (designing the body would be nice too).
I suppose you would be able to design something like a toaster, shaver, iron or a lawn mower as well.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!!!

- Designing custom PC case mods and/or electronic components with some detail
- Designing notebooks and/or mobile phones (its exterior, in this case no need to design inner components)
- Metric system
- All price range
- Average system requirements (must work with core 2 duo, 2 gigs of ram, 400 gigs of hdd, GF 6600 GT)

Is Auto-Cad a good software to learn if I am the type of person who love to invent?
Inquisit asked:
I’m thinking about learning to use the program AutoCad. It’s looks somewhat difficult to learn, the book for beginner is about 1,500 pages. I haven’t even counted the workbook and references. Anyhow, it will be learned if AutoCad is proved useful.
To all of the AutoCad users out there, do you think it’s a good program to learn if I am the type of person who loves to customize things and or invent something?
For example, I would like to build a desk but lack the skill of a handyman. Don’t want to buy the desk because I dislike the designs. I would like to use AutoCad to create a blueprint of the designs and then send it off to a company that will help me cut, sand, and paint all of the materials for me and then all I would need to do is put it together.
Will AutoCad help me do this? If I am wrong, then what is AutoCad use for? Please help.

Looking for designs for a new home please?

Hi everyone. Is there anyone out there who could assist me in finding designs (free) without all the CAD software needed etc, for homes…I am going to be the luckiest lady, in about a year when my new home will be built to my exact liking, but it is difficult without seeing for myself some plans…I will ask the architect also at a later stage, but I am excited now and want to see ideas for myself…Thank you
