Trouble with plans

[wes]

I can't get my computer to open the plans for the airplane engine that was featured as December's project of the month. Anyone got any tips?

what file format are they in? DOC? TXT? PDF? DXF?

 

[wes]

They are in a compressed (zipped) folder.

Wes,
Where are you trying to download from? I drew the Lobo plans and never published them in a zipped file that I remember.

The current drawings are all contained as attachments to the first three posts at:

They are in PDF format.

Windows should open a .ZIP file. Maybe they are corrupt files. What is the error message.

The err message says something about windows won't open the file because they are damaged. Says if they were sent as an email they weren't correctly attached.I've downloaded them twice.Nethier time worked.

Wes,
I just tried a couple of them and they seem to open fine for me.

If you want to try it, PM me your email address and I will send a couple direct to your email and see if that works for you. If it does, then I can send the rest.

EDIT: I just saw your Pig Plans post and see you have TurboCad. I can also send a DWG or DXF file to you if need be.

I not going to give my email address out right now. Our computer is messed up with someone eles's. Can't recieve emails for a while. I got the plans out of the downloads section back in December though, not of the post. Maybe thats the problem.

Yes, I just pulled the files from my stash and was all set to send them to you but without an address to send to I could not do so. Can't help you now mate. Get your computer problems straightened out and then have a go at those files.

Now I know my problem! I didn't get what I thought I was getting. I downloaded plans for a radial airplane engine. I went back and found a pfd. format set of plans under the name 60 model engine.
Oops. I try to get them of the post.Sorry for all the trouble.

Thanks,
Wes
