You know you have the necessary
training, knowledge and experience to make it work. The only limitations
are the financial restrictions and the available equipment ....
we want to give you some resources to overcome them !
A good starting point is the link: Resources on this site !
Electrical Engineering (DOS
based)
Other Engineering Programs
(DOS based)
[ Planned is to list over time specialised software for many professions (from "accounting" to "wool processing"). ]
CAD - Computer Aided Design resources
Technical drawing skills are basic skills required in all technical professions nowadays. Here and there the drawing board is still used (I have learned it this way in the late sixties) - however even a DOS based CAD application is an incredible progress compared to that time.

At first some useful links:
CAD SCENE is one of the most useful resources on the Internet for teachers and students regarding CAD training. Any institution planning to introduce CAD should not miss this site. We have downloaded all the training material from their web site because the material is such a valuable resource.
This site is a must for everyone who wants to learn and to teach CAD.
The TRICAD Software can be downloaded for FREE from their site (see under CAD Exercises). It is however a limited version, so bigger projects cannot be saved.
To save you some download time, we have put all the documents listed there in .ZIP files on our site - however you should always have a look at their site first and if possible download the latest versions.
bas.zip
cadscene_docs.zip
( in Word 97 format ) We
plan to bring them also in .rtf format esp. for those with older systems
!
command.zip
command1.zip
command2.zip
[ We have the Tricad Software Demo Version and the bigger file: tricadpntfix.zip downloaded, but not put onto our site. Just in case their site cannot be reached. ]
Without any doubt CADSCENE is a very important resource for everyone !
Another important web site:
They offer a FREE CAD book, a FREE on-line tutorial, FREE CAD magazines and more.
The CAD book: cad-fr.zip
The online course: cad_course.zip
(you can download the pages for off-line viewing)
A great software catalogue, also with CAD Shareware and FREEWARE can
be found at:
www.ummah.net/software/softbase
From the following web site TURBOCAD 4 from IMSISOFT can be downloaded FREE for educational purposes (~ 15 MB) :
www.imsisoft.com
( click on FREE Software in the left panel )
To be continued ..... with more
CAD software for MS-Windows, esp. earlier versions, FREEWARE !
