[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by gchenier</i> <br />[quote]<i> <br />You need to measure turnout frog angles and lengths if not already known, then create the pattern for your CAD to use. Not a big deal, but no built-in 'library' of track sections etc until you build your own CAD models of them. Gives the freedom of cutting rail to exact length required for any configuration. <br /> <br />[/quote]</i> <br /> <br />I am very proficient at AutoCAD 2000 and many times I have started designing my layout on it. I have run into the same problem though: the components. I would think that with all the people using AutoCAD for their layouts, there would be components prebuilt on the web somewhere for download. <br /> <br />Otherwise, my problem is, where can I find the measurements for the components? Do I just need to get one and then measure it all out? <br /> <br />Also, if you want to share your templates, maybe I can offer something in return... <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Ken <br />
