Hi
Anyone with a bit of CAD experience can do a redraw from a hardcopy or PDF as it is basically the same as doing a redraw on the board but only in AutoCad, what they will charge however depends on the drawing detail and time spent !
Hope the above helps

Thanks but I have them drawn with cad software but would like them I am guessing as 2-D.My plans I have now are like blueprints to build a new house but I want them like cutaways of the house to be build with some of the structure actually shown in the plans with a description telling what needs to be done. I hope you understand what I am trying to say? |

Hi
Sounds like the drawings are in 3D and are complete as an object and you need to convert them into manufacturing / assembly drawings in 2D
if all the information is on the drawing then a conversion should be simple enough depending on the format the original drawing is made, ie in AutoCad or Pads, if it is not an Autocad drawing, it will need to be converted to a dxf or dwg type file in order to be converted or redrawn
hope the above helps
Regards
CS

It sounds to me like you have 2D plan drawings, but you want 3D models of your plans with cutaways showing the inside?
Can you post an example of one of your drawings? I think there is some confusion about what you really want done?

| Now you are 100 % right, so where can I find someone to do that for me? My plans are 3 pages (8.5 X 11) as a description (text) and 7 pages as drawings so I need someone to alter my plans as 3D as you said with the description added to each drawings as needed. |

I would need you to send me what ever you currently have so i can convert it to 2d. Please let me know if this is what your looking for. You can email me at nexus2581@yahoo.com and we can discuss it further. James |
