[TheForge] Design Software

Mon Dec 10 08:07:00 2001

To all:
Not sure if you guys are aware of it but these CAD drawings might be of some
help.  Architectural Iron Designs, Inc. in Jersey City, NJ has a FREE
package of component CAD drawings for downloading.  It's over 8Meg and is at
www.archirondesign.com
The drawings are write protected however you can copy each design and build
your own drawing.  You do need a CAD package such as AutoCad Lt etc.
Hope it helps.
John in Fl.
