CAD file for HF trailer?

[sheila-TNT]

Does anyone have a model of the 5' wide HF trailer that they would be willing to share? I'm using SpaceClaim, but I can import quite a few different formats. 3D would be nice, but 2D would also work.

I'm also looking for HF trailer CAD model, but in the 4x8 version... anyone?

I have the 4x8... and you can probably just stretch it to get to the 5x8.

Let me eat dinner first... I'll be back in a bit...

Thanks Mike!

(but I forgot to mention that I was looking for an AutoCAD format... hope thats not a problem!)

 

[mikeschn]

Autocad can read a number of different formats, including SAT and Step.

[mikeschn]

that's really strange... it should...

okay here's the sat version... if you can't read that then Autocad is in the dark ages...

I clicked on the link for the .stp and my machine wanted to open a text file. I saved the file, renamed it with a .stp file extension, and then opened it in Solidworks. It opened with a perfect assembly file with (67) separate part files attached. Very nice!

That's the cleanest file conversion I've made in a while! Thanks for the info...for future use of course!

Joshua,

We only do clean files here!

Darn AutoCAD!! It would at least let me try to open that last file, but then said invalid file contents.


I guess I can draw up a sketch for my model if someone could give me a couple quick numbers... I just need deck height and distance wheel is from back of the trailer.

I just exported it out as an Autocad 2007/2008 file. Give that a try...

P.S. You'll probably want to move the wheel rearward. The default location isn't good.

Awesome work Mike! Thanks!
