What I have posted is a jpg of the full size cattle trailer that I have drawn from for this dxf. My eyes are still crossed placing all of the ovals and cutouts from the trailer in my cad program. I use Designcad 3d to draw and export to dxf. The DXF will need to be scaled back for your particular use. This file is full scale of 552 units or inches which is equal to 46 feet.
My particular needs are to scale my file back to 1:8 scale. I build and operate a 1:8 scale railroad and accessories. I have always wanted to build a scale cattle truck for my railroad. I currently have two semi-trailers on the same scale.
This dxf is for the side panel only. The front and back of the trailers are usually easy to build and cut out with your particular needs and dimensions.
Be warned. I did scale the dxf back to 1:8 and ran the file with Sheetcam. The compiled file to g code ran fine and there are 1042 cuts. Lots of cuts on a small scale. One might want to cut out the oval holes and the body and then set up and drill the rest of the holes. However you want to do it.
If you can use this that would be great. Just wanted to give back. If you find a problem with the file let me know and I will try and fix it.
Have a great weekend.
