I'm currently in the process of making a pair of speakers and I am in the need of someone who can draw me something fairly basic (it's pretty much a 16cm cube with a single hole in it) in cad from a sketch with measurements, so i can send it off to the wood cutting chappies.

If anyone can do it i would be eternally grateful, I can't offer much but there would be beer tokens and bumhugs in it for them.

I've messed about with it before, but can it export everything as a cad file?

I have a copy of some expensive Auto CAD software on my work PC but have no idea how to use it.

This probably doesn't help.

Hi Sol

You will want the file saved in DXF Format, this is the most common file format and can be used in any CAD program, I have AutoCAD 2012 (legitimate, as it's part of my job) so if you need anything doing send me details or a picture/sketch and i'lll send you want you need.

Are you looking at getting this milled out on a CNC machine or you just need a technical drawing for the woodworkers?

Don't do it Sol - it's just a ploy so he can send you pictures of his penis.

If you're curious though and want to save time, just google "anteater in a ginger wig".

pffft... I think poor Sol has had enough exposure, he had to sit next to me at the last Proflan, poor sod.

I've e-mailed you the files, if there is anything else you need (like pictures of my penis or distended anus) just ask.. :)
