First let me set the stage...
We've got an awesome plasma cutter at work that can cut shapes from dxf or dwg files.
Not knowing how to use CAD, I did up a drafting type drawing of my art deco fenders to take in and be converted to CAD and then have my parts cut out on the plasma cutter.
We are pretty busy at work and after waiting two weeks with no progress on getting my drawing converted, I asked if having a CAD file would speed up the process... YES!!!
I've been working with a third party at work, not involved with the plasma cutter, to get my CAD file completed.
It was explained to me that all I had to do was to furnish a given reference point and then list how far up and far far over for all the given points on my drawings... COOL!!! Basic addition and subtraction, right?
Well... I just called my friend (The third party) and he tells me he's unable to help me.
So I figure I gotta try to do the actual CAD file myself.
I downloaded SketchUp 7...
Well, I ran into troubles right out of the gate... I can't figure out how to draw a quarter circle... Only a whole or half circle.
Anybody know how?
