SLUG body cad file. ?

[y0da900]

Okay, So I can model, but Im getting annoyed with my autocad 2005. How do I display all the other goodies in that .DWG file? I tried the invert selection thing, but obviously I am missing something.

Hit the button I circled in green, it brings up the layer manager. See the snowflakes, hit Control+A to select all layers, then click on a gray snowflake to turn them all yellow, this unfreezes the layers. Everything will now be shown. To invert the layers, I just manually turn off the lightbulb of the ones that are not frozen now (yellow circle, or the sun), then unfreeze all of them.

THANK YOU!!!


I am going to have a field day this weekend! Got to go shoe my horses and study for a test today.

There are no dimensions for...

The width of the sear axle pin slot
The profile of the sear slot
The square profile that the classic body front frame screw key sits in the rail (if that makes any sense)
The path of the valve alignment pin
Thickness of the sear
Any thickness values for the intelliframe

any help?


HEY TOM!

I would like to make as accurate as possible 3-d models of an automag. I would love any dimensions you could let me use. All of it would be public domain.

Hey Moemag,

The "extended" slug body has the body cover the valve completely. That's how the rear ridges of the Kartas/Dallaras/Chords were possible. I'll post a pic at one point. I started looking for my slug body to show you, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT!! Who knows where it's at. I've got four boxes of paintball stuff and have looked all over...

Regardless, the new extended slug bodies cover the valve completely and actually go past the rear of the rail by about a quarter of an inch I think. Just a heads up......

Keep me/us posted. I am going to need a to-spec rail slug at one point too

Yeah I know, thats why I was asking about the od of the x-valve... then I could do it easy as pie. This thread has been kinda dead. no one knows what it is.

The OD is 1.118". It's the same thing (or, really close) as the ULE bodies.

Like you said (or implied) it wouldn't be hard to just extrapolate the correct dimensinos from a certain point. There's a lot of dimensinos that wouldn't matter as much.

I'm making a cad file post section for my webiste and would love to make whatever files available...


EDIT, I checked the internet archive for the file K posted, unfortunately it seems corrupt (or something) Somebody might be able to get it working http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://...AGD/Slugex.dwg

EDIT2, okay I recovered the file. I want to check with K before posting it...

Send that .dwg over to [email protected] as soon as you can.
Thanks for the OD.
EDIT! LOL!
Well I went to extend it out, and I remembered... oh yeah... the airline comes out the side of the x-valve. Also the valve diameter tolerance is in the drawing if I actully thought about it. it is 1.120inch dia for that part that goes over the valve.
so.
Again I ask for something with more dimensions.
Or at least until something else stupid like that hits me.

[Ydna]

Well the ID for the inside of the body would have to be a little more wide than the valve. But the exact dimension isn't massively important, as long as it's big enough to fit in there it'll work (since the body just covers the valve in that spot).

I think the slug template has to be milled in such a way that the airline fitting can slide off the back. It just means you have to imcorporate it into the milling style in some way. And it only has to be on that one side (I think) so at leas tyou can cover it up on the other side...lol.
I suppose you could just drill an opposing hole for the airline fitting to pass through, but it'd make disassembly a hassle...
