Newbie question. Drawing tubing
(OP)
I just bought a copy of SW 05 from a company closing doors. I have no cad experience at all so this may seem like a simple question to you. I have completed a few tutorials so far though.
Basicly what I'm trying to do is create a frame/roll cage out of 1 1/4 tubing. My problem is I don't know how to create the tubing itself. I'm sure I can figure out the bends and other stuff.
Thanks,
Dave

RE: Newbie question. Drawing tubing
Do this for each tube and then use an assembly to combine them. I think for a roll cage most of your tubes would be in a plane so you would not have to fool with a 3d sketch.

What I meant my no cad exprience didn't mean I was completely in the dark. I know the majority of the basic 'terminology' and if I don't know I can usually figure it out.

As far as the license agreement goes, I was not aware of that, maybe the company wasn't either. I would try and make an attempt to return and receive a rufund but, it was actually a computer with SW already loaded on, so it may not have been actually 'sold'. Paid an average price for the pc, wasn't charged extra for any programs.
RE: Newbie question. Drawing tubing
So if you bought the PC then you truly didn't buy the software with it, because the average bundle is $4000... did you spend that on the computer... Good luck!

Currently making my way through some tutorials, store boughten ones (not online tutorial). Starting to get a bit more advanced, basics were kind of boring.
Anyways, got the tube drawn finally. Thanks for the help everyone! Hopefully some day I'll be able to help.
