I agree, the learning curve on auto cad type products is painful sometimes, I use a product - Turbo-Cad that is normally priced around $40- $80, depending on sales, it will do most anything, and save in most any format.
The thought to use a student is quite good, George Cone C&C 40 From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Bill Coleman via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2015 11:09 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Off C&C, but boating related question I use Autocad lite, which works well and USED to be pretty cheap, but not anymore. There are iterations of this for tablet, but they say you can only edit, not completely draw, so, not sure how that would work. Maybe edit an existing drawing to your specs. There is also Google SketchUp, free, after they probe you for every bit of info about your life. This could very well do what he needs to do. In the end, the easiest thing may be to go to a local college or community college and get one of the students to tackle it, they already have the software and some know-how.

He is leading the task to design and prepare a kit to build a model of one of our oyster 'buy' boats which used to be prevalent on the Chesapeake. We have the real boat (65' long) at the museum, and he has taken measurements, but wants to have a professional set of plans for the prospective model builders. Any one have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Gary Nylander St. Michaels Maryland
