I'm looking for advice for 3d software to draw up things I want to make.
i recently had an idea for a widget that would allow my bikes seat back to fold forward for getting on and Off the beast.
i saw it in my imagination but I needed to draw it in 3 dementions to determine if itwould wotk.
Couldn't draw it so I made a prototype out of nylon and it did work like a champ....so I then made a few mods and machined it with T6 Alum but it would have been nicer to draw it accurately and then have measurements to machine
I got Alibre design...But WOW ! one heck of a learning curve . i don't know if I'll live long enough to learn it
any one got good advice???
