cyter Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I mean teeth not threads. How do I draw these teeth? I'm trying to draw a Pliers Locking Curved 7 W in AutoCAD 2009. How do I draw teeth for the upper jaw. Edited April 19, 2011 by cyter Word choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designerstuart Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 trace the image? what is the problem? do you need dimensions, or to build guidelines, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyter Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Oops! I meant to say teeth not threads. I'm tired of trying to draw them wrong. Any drawing guidelines would help. I just need the build guide lines. I care less about dimensions, I just want to know how you would go about drawing the teeth above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I used the Line command to create the teeth on this one. (see attached) You can then PE Join Extrude or Presspull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I started by importing an image. I then scaled the image so that known reference geometry was 1:1 size. Then I used a combination of measured dimensions with calipers and tracing over the image. (see attached) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designerstuart Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 haha couldn't ask for a better answer than that JD :wink: "and here's one i prepared earlier...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 That is a great model there JD. As above, I would just insert the image and trace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyter Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 You introduced a whole new way of doing my project. I have to draw the exact dimensions for a mechanical object of my choice. Although I've been using a different model of the plier It wouldn't be too late to trace the exact model. I don't know if this is too much to ask but do you have any idea where I would find a for a CR-V, PM model #33478 lock plier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Looks like you found one - start drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
