737-700 MIP AutoCad Drawings

[oal331]

Hi,

at Opencockpit's web site, download section, choose cabinas/cockpit sub menu.
There they have cad files for autocad, but you can also import them to corel draw or any other cad/design s/w.

The direct link is http://www.opencockpits.com/modules....p=getit&lid=86

You also can use Sketchup http://www.sketchup.com/
I think it's one of the best and very very easy 3D design s/w for our cockpits and not only.

regards

Eddie

FYI: My 1:1 scale pdf file of the autocad drawing is finally up in the download library. Just print what you want at 100% zoom and it will print at it's exact size.

Hi All.

It was mentioned that the CAD files can be opened with corel draw. I have versions 9 & 11 and both versions say.. 'Error opening file'. Anyone know why?

Thanks.....Regards idj4

I use Corel12, but...... you must use IMPORT command Not Open.

Try it

Hi.

I was just wondering what scale the drawings should be to ensure my cp flight mcp can fit?

What material do you recommend the fabrication from?

Regards,

Hi, people.
This is my first post.
I am brazilian, 47 years old, and I want to start the construction of my cockpit.
I am really impressed with the vast quantity useful information in this forum and also say that was very useful the autocad file posted in library.
Thanks to all.

Sorry to revive this thread. I have posted this question elsewhere, but this looked like a good place.

My question is about the flightdeck drawings that are posted in the library. Many people seem to use these. Are they accurate? I have seen a number of other measurements that show different dimensions.

I am particularly stuck with the hieght of the lower MIP from the floor. The autocad and pdf versions specify this at 58cm, but I have ssen drawings where it between two and three cm higher. I'm not sure which is the correct measurement. I am referring to the height of the bottom of the pfd frame from the cockpit floor.

Is 58cm the correct measurement?

Thanks for the help.

IIdo not have the answer you are seeking, but am willing to offer some advice, unless it interferes with another component allow for some "creative freedom" when fabricating these items, I myself was stuck on the MIP as the free CRT's I had available would not conform to the standard 737NG five display layout so I had to settle for four displays on two of my sims, and other dimensions you will have to just extrapolate and or modify, I hope the 2 Cm difference does not hold you up for long.

Thanks for your reply.

It is holding me up because there are a number of different measurements out there and some of them differ quite a bit.

But I think I am missing the point. Things have to fit together relative to each other but it seems there is a lot of leeway for variation. If I am a perfectionist about it I will never get it done.

Thanks again.

I have noticed this when using the measurements in the library of the glareshield, mip, and the mip stand from http://users.skynet.be/jcordon/cockpit/index2.htm

There was some differences in the styles of glareshields, then there was a difference when setting up my mip to attach to the stand.
