I have a client who is looking to have a model of his drawn up in CAD to
be displayed as a technical drawing for his website. There are a few
that need doing, and most are fairly easy to draw.BUT, there is one that I am finding a bit of a challenge (see attached). Can
anyone give me some ideas as to the best way to draw this up? It is
very intricate and I'm not really sure what the best route would be.Any help appreciated.Thanks

I wouldn't bother trying to draw that up, from scratch, using plain AutoCAD.  I'd take a slew of digital pictures and use a piece of software that can turn around and give you a point cloud that can be brought into AutoCAD and a 3D solid constructed.  From there you can use any of several different ways to extract 2D views.

Thanks John, I'll do some research into the best software to use.

just pull as my photo(s) on the item as possible ...i had to rough out a few business logo(s) out by scratch ....measurements are always good tho ....

Just how does one take measurements on the object shown?  I can only think of one way at the moment.  Please share your knowledge with us.

This might be one option.  It's called AutoDesk 123D Make.  Capable of generating 2D plans of 3D objects.http://www.123dapp.com/make
