I got it...Pretty proud of my self..the site is in french and I have no clue how to read or speak french!!

Never a good idea to post one's personal email address in a public forum. You might want to remove it. Just a suggestion.

 

You got everything you need then right? Did Titi95 also explain how he arrived at the solution or is it obvious from the drawing?

Thanks for the advice. I am just about to take a look at the file.

I just redid the drawing solid part of the mesh

ca took me 5min

Then I opened inventor fusion to convert slt

Why not just use the Export command in AutoCAD to derived the .STL file?

 

Did you used the first posted DWG file or work from the second one with the dimensions?

 

The height at the back of the object in the first drawing that was posted is shorter than called for in the revised (second) drawing posted.

 

The back of the object is at a slant in the first drawing that was posted which is not how it is shown in the second drawing posted. In that drawing the back is straight up and down.

Autocad does not slt.

I am part of the mesh file, I took the outline and extruded and cut the top part

Posted

PALynch30 posted the following. " I need to get the model into a .stl format so he can get it prototyped."

 

Maybe I misread that?

Posted

CIVIL 3D does .stl with no problem. The second drawing I attached does have the correct demensions. The first drawing does not match the second because I had no idea what I was doing. I do need the object to have the dimension properties of the second drawing.

Posted

In that case if the first drawing was used to create the object then it is wrong. I'm not finding fault with Titi I want to make that clear. Since you provided a drawing with dimensions and a cross-section showing the back of the object I felt it was important that the object be created from that information. That's all. Nothing sinister. Everybody cool?

 

Yes, I figured you wanted a .Stl file all along.

Posted

sorry I'm wrong format

Autocad few actually make the STL

Posted

OK...I just didn't want to confuse anyone because there are such things as SLT files but they should not be confused with STL files.

Im great!! Here is a screen shot form C3D...Yes the first drawing was totally messed up. That is why I came to the pros...you both have been a great help to me and I know I will have further problems/questions.

 

I step I didn't add, on the bottom side in the center of the shape, I have to make a cut out for a 9volt battery.......:shock::shock::shock:

If working with the 3D solid your "cut out" can be made by subtracting a properly sized 3d solid or you can use the PressPull command (along with a 2D profile) to create the hole the battery would fit into.

Posted

The drawing looks good! It looks like the drawing I have but is a solid. The front face and the back face need to be continuosly solid as wellm while still maintaining the voids in the middle. It that possible?

ReMark....Could you please send me the file for the image you displayed earlier??? It would be of great help.
