BT,
I don't have the latch that you are looking for but I was wondering what cad software you are using. I use SolidWorks 2007 at work and it is easy to use. It took me a while to start thinking in 3D instead of 2D. It really is a thought process that you need to get used to.

Thumbs up

Hi Terry,
I started by getting all the demos I thought would be best for me. That was
Turbo CAD, Alibre, Key Creator by Kubotek, and Solid works. For the last three months I have worked with all these by using their demo videos along with the program. So far I find the most intuitive of these for me is the Key creator. It also happens to be the most expensive one too. I'm really starting to get into this to the point that the wife has noticed that I am spending gads of time at the computer. It becomes addictive once you get the hang of it. I don't think I could do this if I hadn't taken 4yrs of mechanical drawing. It brings back alot of things I had forgotten. I just think it would be a hoot to
have parts on CAD from the GT while I'm learning. 3D rocks !!
Terry, I did not use Solid works very much but I plan to give it more time when I finish my evaluation of Kubotek. My CNC machinist friend who owns a huge shop uses Key Creator. He says it fits his needs best. So I thought, what the heck, I might as well start there.
