But a large number of components manufacturers have CAD drawings of their parts -- bearings, fasteners, motors, etc. -- in various CAD formats. You can scale the CAD (often DXF) drawings, use a freeware program to convert them to a raster format (TIFF, JPEG, etc.) and paste them into your drawings that way, if you want. If you're drawing in CAD, you're all set. Here's one to look at: http://www.solidcomponents.com/ I don't know anything about them, but it should give you the idea. -- Ed Huntress |

McMaster-Carr www.mcmaster.com has lots of 2D drawings and 3D models of common hardware items, bearings, fasteners, etc. For example: http://www.mcmaster.com/#cadinlnord/6435k25/=g6v1h5 You can download free viewers for native Solidworks and Inventor 3D models that allow you to zoom and orient the part to your liking, choose shaded or wireframe views, and print or take screenshots of the screen image. -- Ned Simmons |

MMC requires registration which I have now done. Will explore the other 2. Thanks to you and Ed. l-) -- John G |
