PVC Cad parts?

[Mk.32]

Hello all, working on a few projects.
Does anyone know where to get CAD files of PVC fittings.
The standard stuff, .5-3 inch, various joints and etc.
Thanks.

This depends on what CAD package you're using. In Inventor, you won't need to download CAD files. Everything you might need will be found in the "Tube and Pipe" feature on the design tab of the ribbon. For Solidworks or Creo, etc. I can't answer the question.
If you need any help with anything Inventor related, feel free to contact me at msimon@msedesign.net!

Well I am working with both SW and Inventor and thanks for the tip.
Looks nice an interesting feature though a looks complex.
I am trying to build a frame for a project out of PVC what would be the best way to do this?

Inventor's Design Accelerators may seem daunting to use at first, but once you get the hang of them, I promise you'll never turn back. Never again will I CAD a nut or bolt, a chain, a timing-belt, etc. The piping accelerator is no different. It's actually quite intuitive. If you need help with it, I found a tutorial which thoroughly explains it.

Good Luck!
