I learned UG and IDEAS at the same time, at firts UG seemed easier, but in the long run I grew to like IDEAS more. Been using it for the last 4 years here at work (Ford supplier). Anyone hiring for a IDEAS CAD work? $$$$
If anyone does find a CAD model of an LSx engine, please pm me I'd love to have it to play with.

well i switched my project last week sometime, but i still want to do the rotating assembly just for fun. My professor is trying to get SolidWorks for the course (we wouldn't be using it though seeing as how late in the semester it already is) But seeing as hurricane rita is causing the state to pull back on funding a little, and we've had 500+ already withdraw this semester (in the words of the officials, the budget has no fat to trim) it doesnt look like we'll be alowed any luxuries anytime soon.

sounds like alot of work for autocad. I have done similiar projects in catia and loved it. Used to work for a GM supplier doing UG and liked it as well. Using autocad 2D today is like tuning your car with a jet chip. I never liked 3d either.

Hey man!
I did exactly what you are doing, but i used CadKey v21.5 w/ KeyCreator.
What files can you read because i will send my Cadfile of an LS1 rotating assembly so you can get an idea on dimensions. It was very difficult to do because of all the angles involved and you had to Xform everything!
If you can change your drawing i would look into LS1 heads because you can find the dimensions anywhere.
I did the drawing 2 years ago.
Let me know what file ext. you can except.

Thanks for that - unfortunately not good enough. I dont need it to be accurate enough to machine parts, its for placing the engine + trans in the design of my next project.
Looks like we're gonna have to draw it.
