I've tried using CAD a few times, but I just went back to drawing my knife designs on paper using french curves and other stencils and get the same end results just as if I were using CAD. Good video though, I enjoyed it.
Thanks Thomas! I've switched to "NanoCAD" since filming this video. Draft Sight isn't free anymore. Good to heard you've found a solution. Maybe I need to buy me a french curve or 2! Cheers.
Great video! I imagine the more times you’ve made a knife, some things get easier to eye ball. Also you probably have a good idea of generally where your measurements should be.
Red Beard Ops Yeah, I didn’t notice that the software was no longer free (we like free shit!), so I looked at NanoCad, which is free. I’m gonna look at this tonight when I get home. Hope the Lone Star state is treating you well! 🇬🇧🤜⚡️🤛🇺🇸
@@sudo_nym Yes sir! Best state in the country by far. Glad you found your way to NanoCAD. I've been using it over the last year since that video and really like it so far. For what I do it's great.
Awesome video, very helpful! Do you know if you can upload a hand drawing into the background so you can kind of trace it with the program and fine tune it that way? Thank You!
Caleb Keel so I have done this. It can be tricky since the lines are drawn in white, but doable with enough patience. You scan your drawing in (or take a picture with your phone); then screen shot the picture and paste it into DraftSight. Then what I do is draw a “known distance” like total length or blade width... then scale the image to that known distance. After that you can trace the picture then delete the picture.
JKeetonKnives that’s pretty cool! I’ve been wanting to try out a cad type system to store a lot of my drawings. I usually draw one and make it without remembering to save a copy so I can make another like it. If I could get somewhat proficient with this program I would be in business! Thank you again for the tips! Subbed and liked!
@@calebkeel6119 Thanks for the sub man. Hey I want to warn you. I've heard rumors that DrafSight may no longer be free in 2020.... Good news is that the commands and work flow in Draft Sight are basically just like AutoCad (paid) and really close to NanoCad (free). My point is that the skills you learn in Draft Sight will be transferable to other common CAD software.
@@eddieagha5851 That's strange, I've been using it for a while now for free. Maybe I got in at the right time. I think I re-downloaded it about 2 months ago.
Sorry to hear that Joe. What part isn't working? It's worth noting... I found out after publishing this video that Draftsight won't be free after 2019. Other free programs to try out are Fusion 360 and nanoCAD. I'm playing with nanoCAD personally since it seems to be the closest to AutoCAD and Draftsight... which I'm used to.
Hey Mitch, so after I produced this video I found out that DraftSight will no longer be free in 2020! I would advise moving to nanoCAD... It's free and the commands are extremely similar to DraftSIght (which both are very similar to the real deal AutoCAD). Your DraftSight files can also be opened seamlessly into nanoCAD

THAT was really useful, James!
Thanks bud

I’ll give it a go!

Oh man, nanoCAD doesn't work with Mac.
Damn! 😒 🇬🇧🤜⚡️🤛🇺🇸
Good video and instruction. I use Inkscape for design to template
Hey Nick, Sweet! I'll have to check that out. Thanks
This is exactly what I need! Thanks, great video, will definitely try that out!
Glad to hear it good sir!

Excellent video! Apparently the 2017 version of DraftSight is still available free on CNET.
Nice! I've swapped over to "NanoCAD"
@@RedBeardOps NanoCad is no longer free. Only free to try.

@@RedBeardOps if you find a link to it, please post it here. Thanks!
great video!
I use Sketch-up but I will try DraftSight.
Cool deal! Thanks Marcus!
Отлично! Теперь всё то же самое - по-русски!!!
Ваше здоровье!
@@RedBeardOps :))))))))
Well I thought this would be wonderful to know, watched video several times and it sure doesn't work for me, frustrated.

Frustrating... 30 day trial for free then it's $99. Maybe i missed something.

@@RedBeardOps, thank you for the follow up. I'll go have a look.
@@apexmitch7986 Anytime sir! Glad to help.
