Technical Drawing

[Geoff13]

I wish to draw up a framework to mount on a trailer so that the welder can see what I am after.

 

In the old days I would have gone with pencil and paper.

 

Is there a simple free app out there to draw a basic 3 view drawing?

Maybe one of these?

For a simple design such as you require, any half decent welder will be able to interpret a sketch plan. Just be sure that the dimensions are marked clearly.

 

Although it's nice to learn how to use a CAD program, trying to produce what you need in this case will only prolong the build time.

OME That was the decision I came up with whilst watching the footy last night.

 

I drew it up on a piece of A4 paper scanned it and emailed it to him.

 

His response this morning came with a quote and the estimated weight of the metal work.

 

So all done thank you.
