350z AutoCad Blocks
I decided it was time to liven up my CAD library. I did some 350s in AutoCad tonight. Download if you can use 'em.

I'll convert to .dxf and post again. Several programs can read dxf's - among them Paintshop Pro.
Sorry, wasn't trying to be grouchy. Gimme a few minutes.........

To think a good digitizer cost over $1500.00 ten years ago.
Oh, and thanks for the file... I'll take it to work and show the CAD guys, I know a few who will think its cool. If you update it again let us know!

You can export it as an .eps (postscript) file....
eps can be read in adobe Photoshop.
The detail stays there when you zoom in and out.

Autodesk makes a viewer program called Volo View Express that is a free download. This will enable you to view and read the file.

Which CAD did Nissan use to design the Exterior?
Since we are on the topic of CAD and 350Z, does anyone know what CAD software package was used to create these beautiful smooth flowing lines seen on 350Z?
I believe the powertrain component and interior trim is done using "I-deas", but not certain about the exterior(Class A surfacing).
Regards,

Thaks Futuredeadguy for the great CAD blocks. Whenever I can I will try to insert them into my work Drawings. I don't do many site plans but when I do there will be a 350Z instead of the dumb beetle.

I'm an architect. We actually use MicroStation where I work, but anything I do at home is on AutoCAD.
