Could I get a little CAD help, pretty please?

In CB I just imported the STP of the spindle body (head stock), selected all the surfaces, and moved them to a hidden layer. Actual workable geometry of the surface edges remained visible. That's how I got the 3D line drawing shown in post #10. In VC I can select any part to export by itself.
There are what I believe are little indescrepancies in the original 3D model. They may be deliberate or they may be incidental.Last edited by Bob La Londe; 09-26-2020, 11:25 PM.

I think there was raster/vector conversion going on or some such sorcery.

I have to ask... are those actual geometry files, or just sheet views? There is a huge difference.

It's worth noting, I did this with the EAA $36 a year Solidworks.
The subscribed version I have of Fusion360 refused to make drawings of the IGS files, says they contained no sketches, and not solid bodies. Solidworks didn't seem to care.
