Re: Should I continue with the FirstCadLibrary ?

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I'll renew the domain, update some of the older models, and add some new models. I know the "Look" is a little dated and I'll put some effort to that too. I wrote some ASP scripts when I started this website that automate the pages so I kind of hate to re-do all of that. As is, I just drop the files in my account and add an entry to a database file and ..... presto ...... the pages are generated.

I'm not totally against the concept of a group effort, but It would have to be a select group of contributers. My #1 concern is accuracy. I just hate using a model in a design just to discover later that a critical feature is missing or misplaced. Most, if not all of the models I post are there because I have the part in hand and I know it's complete. The 2nd thing is that I like to use an older version of Inventor (v10) to generate my models. As most of you know, Inventor is not backward compatible and this becomes a problem if you want to use a native Inventor file from the current Autodesk kit of parts in an older version of Inventor. I know, you could use one of the generic formats, but it's just no issue for me to use a "mature" version of Inventor.


If you have any specific requests, please post them and I'll do what I can.
