I've gotten the hang of things now. I still haven't done much with movement, but I think I could if I had a little while to play with it.

I still haven't quite overcome the tedium of designing parts, but that's really not Autodesk's fault.

Oh - for what it's worth - I ran across an amazing website (www.cbliss.com) that has iParts for all sorts of bearings and fasterners and structural shapes (including 8020). That could be useful resource in addition to Ed Sparks' www.firstcadlibrary.com .

Also, www.tradeparts.com offers, if I recall, a free 30 day trail and some free models - Bosch Extrusion being among them. I'll have to check that out today.
