[TheForge] Auto CAD

[Bob Ehrenberger]

I needed to bid a rail that incorporated a basket twist in a repeated
pattern.  I was going to free hand draw it at first and then decided that my
drawing wasn't good enough to make several dozen baskets that all looked
good.

So I spent the time to make a basket in Auto CAD. I could then cut and past
it where ever it was needed. It took about two hours to draw the basket
since I don't use curves much and had to figure out how to get the form I
wanted. (I mostly draw structural steel, beams and channels). But once I had
the basket I could play with the design of the rail.

Do any of you know where to get other blacksmith forms for Auto CAD? On-line
and free would be best.
