CAD Design for P51 Mustang Replica

Post by marianmadalin32 »

Hello. Sorry to disturb. My name is Marian Madalin, a male engineer from Bucharest, Romania. I want to build a P51 Mustang Replica for display, I have some sponsors here who help me with free materials and services. I want to use the drawings of mr. Marcel Jurca to do the parts and assembly, but the drawings are in PDF, and I want an assumed, responsible, serious volunteer CAD engineer to help me redraw the drawings from the PDF and put them into DXF files, so it can be easily cut on CNC from plywood, aluminium, steel etc... I have some progress on the frames and formers (pictures in private). The Mustang will be displayed for a new aviation museum project I am currently developing. The CAD engineer will be mentioned on the sponsor's list on the project website.

This is te program I use to convert from PDF to DXF. It will depend on what was saved in the PDF but it works for me on lots of files.

Larry that program looks really handy!
If one did a lot of drawings that come from a pdf file and needed an easy way to convert into autocad for modifying plans etc (ie draftsman etc). Or even pdf images too, this looks like it would be the bomb. Especially if someone were paying an hourly rate to redraw stuff, this looks to be a great value at $176.00.
I have had success in inkscape the few times that I have had a need to covert a pdf to dxf, but this looks to be much easier, and a great value for at that price.
The OP mentioned that he wants a free-bee and likely threw his request on as many sites as available (claims to be from Romania) since he may (or may not be) donating his time too. That is a BIG ask to reach out without drawings, history on this site, and a just a "STORY". If it were such a grand opportunity, why are people not lining up in his neck of the woods to help out for free with this grand and alleged noble cause..
imo :HaHa
