Can anybody help me out with some CAD work?

RobVG — 8/20/2013 2:29:37 AM (archived)

I've got this project and the only way I can do it is with mock ups. I need to change about 5 pivot points to get a hydraulic thumb on an excavator thumb to open completely. The picture is of a similar thumb but ours is not quite the same.

If I supplied measurements could someone (Tom :)) help me figure out what changes in dimensions I should make? The equipment shop really screwed up. It would only be in 2D. If not, is there a good free CAD program I could use? Thanks in advance.

  - Mock up will probably work, just more guesswork. n/t - RobVG - 8/20/2013 4:00:40 AM
    - It one of those things: "We bought it, it doesn't work, they can't fix it, "you" make it work. n/t - RobVG - 8/20/2013 4:02:18 AM
