Drawings for the pipemaking book
NEW
The drawings in Compuserve gif format.
The drawings in DXF CAD format.
The .zip file should be moved into a suitable location and unzipped to recreate the drawing DXF files. In order to convert the DXF files into readable drawings you will need some form of CAD program. There are a number of shareware programs that will fill this role and I can also recommend some if you have any problems.
Latest F set parts updated November 22 1999
I have split the files up into smaller groupings to facilitate downloading and to make it easier for me to keep the files up to date with the latest versions. If you want to be notified when I make changes please Email me and I will put you on my list.

NOTE
There have been some reports of problems in using the dxf files so I have recreated them and taken more care to avoid any thing that might be application specific. The original drawings were done on Medusa and I have used the Medusa conversion facility to create the dxf files. I have checked them using AutoCAD version 12, ChoiceCAD, DesignPost Drafting, and Vellum. all of these programs can read the files successfully. If anybody knows of a shareware program that will read these files I would be Pleased to hear about it. I have tried Paint Shop Pro V4.0 for dxf reading from a lot of packages and have had no success so far with any of them.
Chris Franklin sent the Musical instrument making forum the following reviews of freeware/shareware CAD programs.

some of the above should be useful and I would recomend a visit to the forum to get more information
Email me if you need further help in getting to the drawings
