Steve,
It appears the original files may not have been created in Autocad, which
might be why you were having trouble plotting them out. I'll send you the .pdf
prints by private email.

I am sure that it is something I am doing wrong, since I got the Trueview
product from Autodesk.
The file is here:
http://www.edsonmarine.com/support/cad/dwg/Mcd_776_4_Adjustable_Crossed_Wire_Idler.dwg
I can see it in both the model and layout tabs, as downloaded, but it won't
print for me.
Thanks,

Steve,
Not sure of just what .dwg you're referring to, but I was able to create
a .pdf file by downloading one of the Autocad drawings on the Edison website:
"Assembly 6" Sheave", file name "Mcd-620-6". If you tell me which file you
need, I should be able to send you a .pdf file of it.

To any lister with AutoCAD experience:
The plate holding the cable idler sheaves that bolts to the bottom of
the Edson steering pedestal on my recent C&C36 purchase has almost completely
disintegrated. I downloaded a .dwg drawing of the assembly from the Edson web
page and installed a version of Autodesk Trueview (2014) that is compatible
with XP, but I cannot get it to print (plot) anything other than an empty
rectangle. I have been poking at it quite a bit and got exactly nowhere. I have
no experience with AutoCAD, and find the user interface tools less than
intuitive. About like my first experience with vi in Unix, only less
productive. Any fiddling with layer colours, and the layout tab disappears
completely. Is there a simple way to print from either the model or the layout
tabs in the file as downloaded? All I have been able to get in the print
preview is a line rectangle the outlines the page, and sure enough, that is all
that prints. The help files have not been helpful in printing, but at least I
can pan, zoom, and take measurements between points.
Edson lists a price for the entire assembly, but the sheaves appear to
be ok, and the Edson price (US$ 360) is pretty high for what I think that I
actually need. I would rather just make a mounting plate if I can't purchase
one for a reasonable price.
