I can relate to that. I do like my knives !!!

When it come's to the P=I^2=E^2 thingies .. I like when lamda < 1".

I ran Cadkey from V6.02 in college through Workshop 20 in the real world. Clearance issues rarely make it to actual proto-typing.

'n 3-D modeling .. shoot .. even the sales guys can catch on ..........

'n then rotate it around to view the underside .. they're amazed/lost/where'd me pt of reference go/deer in the headlights look ?!?!

Greg .. Welcome to iKC !!! We've a nice eclectic group here .. have a look around .. then, join in the fun !!!

.. does your CADD experience allow for a little solid modeling ?? That tis some cool schtuff .. facilitates catching clearance issues before they become issues ...   'n I bet I=E/R has no meaning either :D
