hey truckee.. i tried to respond to your post in the woodshed… but no go
anyways…welcome !
hi , Kurt….
lot’s of CAD designers here…. Piffen, myself, CloudHidden, Gene Davis, TexanLandlord,
and other’s .. lot’s of others..
most are working in SoftPlan ( piffen, tex ) .. some are working in Sketchup ( gene )..some in Chief Architect ( myself )
most are doing architectural design without the components.. the components are incidental and traditional
i’m not too far away from South County Post & Beam… i’m pretty sure they are doing their timber components somewhat along the lines of yours
hey… CNC… one of my uncles and his partner invented the turrett drilling machine for drilling circuit boards ( Excelon )
they started in his garage with WWII bomb sight aiming devices that could track the target in two axis…
some of the coding is still called Excelon coding..
<<<<<
In electronics manufacturing, an Excellon file is a text-based file format which is used to control the actions of a CNC drilling machine, commonly used in the drilling of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The Excellon file format is a variant of standard RS-274C. It consists of commands to instruct a CNC drilling machine to drill holes of specific diameters at specific locations on a PCB.
The name Excellon comes from the Excellon Automation Company, founded in Torrance, California, USA in 1963 by inventor Joseph Smith. The company was later bought by Esterline, and then sold to Turning Point Capital in 2003. During the 1980’s Excellon held approximately a 90% market share in the sales of PCB drilling and routing machines.
The Excellon driller was designed specifically for the purpose of drilling holes in printed circuit boards. The holes in early, single- and double-sided PCBs were used to allow the insertion of the wire leads on electronic components. Following the invention of multilayer printed circuit boards, the holes were used both for the insertion and connection of wire component leads, and for interconnecting the circuit traces between the multiple copper layers of the boards.>>>>

Nice to meet you Mike. I don't think I'll be around here long. AFAICT the discussion of 3d modeling is seen as being on par with calling people Frency for their political affiliation.
Sounds like you are exposed to lot's of cool stuff.
My screen name is Timbersmith over in the JLC forums. Love to talk to you there.
nah... ain't been there in 4 - 5 years...

"with calling people Frency for their political affiliation."FWIW, frenchy is the the the nickname that he uses.
Nice to meet you Bill. Thanks. I guess Frenchy was a bad example.
Still quite an insult to have my entire personal and professional introduction treated that way.
Yo..they screwed up moving the intro there..stick around, really.

Truckee, I posted this in the Tav thread you started as well....Hey, hey, hey, Truckee, slow down there.I saw where your two earlier posts got closed for posting, and I was looking for another one that I could stop by and say Hi to you in.Don't take off that fast! You'll find plenty of folks here willing to talk to you about the work oriented stuff.Now about this Tavern....yes, a lot of religion and politics get debated in here. But....you do NOT HAVE TO JOIN into those threads if you don't want to. In this Tavern, we also brag about our children's accomplishments. We ask around for good ideas about what to get our spouses for significant events and anniversaries. We talk about food, and those are some of the best threads. We post pictures of our dogs and cats. We share hobbies. We talk beer and other alcoholic pleasures. We share travel advice. We insult one another. We let each other know about problems and the way we have dealt with them. We share our grief with one another. We have rounds of limericks. We post song lyrics. We talk about books we read. You want to post threads like that in the Tav, or participate in those threads, believe me, the light-hearted stuff is as welcome as the politics. More so, even. So please don't let that chase you off.They say it all the time over at CooksTalk, the forum for Fine Cooking, and you don't read it over here, but it is true...Dammit, we ARE FAMILY!I'm even fond of Sancho.You may make lifelong friends here. I have, and I'm not even in the construction business. I took a year's break away from this place and couldn't stand being gone anymore. This is a real community.And give the moderators a break, it is the weekend, and something is screwing up your posts, but they WILL get your on topic posts put back in the correct part of the forum and outta the Tav.And for heaven's sake, welcome to Breaktime!
"I'm even fond of Sancho"
