STOCK PLANS IN DXF FORMAT Now Available Would you like to design your own Dome Floor Plan? If you know how to use a Computer Aided Drafting Program (CAD) and if you do not see a stock plan in American Ingenuity’s Dome Stock Floor Plan Booklet that fits your needs, you can now order CDs of American Ingenuity’s Stock Floor Plans in DXF format and design your own floor plan. By purchasing the CD, you can modify an Ai stock plan and produce sketches that American Ingenuity can use to design your custom Building Plans. When you purchase a CD of DXF files we include a bonus item…..a DXF file of a six inch in diameter Mini-Dome. Not only will this model be fun to put together, but that it will also serve as a reliable reference for building a life-size dome. Once the Mini-Dome is assembled, you can see the dome geometry consisting of Hexagon, Pentagon and Riser panels. American Ingenuity designs the DXF files using the AUTOCAD program. In order to manipulate or edit the DXF files you need the AUTOCAD program or a compatible drafting program. If you do not have AUTOCAD, on the internet there is a free 30 day trial of Delta Cad which is compatible with AutoCAD. http://www.deltacad.com/. Also you can read and edit the DXF files if you have a photo editor program like adobe or paint shop. And you can read the dxf files but not edit them using Microsoft word and power point.

per Wikipedia “The Free Encyclopedia” CAD originally meant Computer Aided Drafting because in the early days CAD was really a replacement for the traditional drafting board. Now, CAD usually means Computer Aided Design to reflect the fact that modern CAD tools do much more than just drafting. CAD is sometimes translated as "computer-assisted", "computer-aided drafting, or a similar phrase. Related acronyms are CADD, which stands for "computer-aided design and drafting", CAID for Computer-aided Industrial Design and CADD for "computer-aided architectural design". All these terms are essentially synonymous, but there are a few subtle differences in meaning and application. CAM (Computer aided manufacturing) is often used in a similar way, or as a combination (CAD/CAM).
