Printing and plotting Many will need work drawings on paper in full scale. Only very rarely would instrument builders have access to a plotter for large full scale drawings. Therefore it should be possible for firms that specialize in printing large drawings to plot the finished drawings. Moreover, the program should be able to print a large drawing piece by piece on an ordinary A4 office printer, so one can use the assembled drawing in cases where professional appearance is not required. Test program available on Internet It should be possible to pick up the drawing program on the Internet, at least for a trial period, so that interested instrument builders can borrow the program in order to read available drawings before deciding to purchase program or drawings.
All drawings are in the same file format.
All drawings can be downloaded free of charge. Measuring and drawing of music instruments is very time-consuming for an instrument builder and often incurs travelling expences. The program was developed by two German engineers, who kindly make their support available, and who also constantly are improving the program in accord with its users' wishes. The sample drawing is not complete, since I have to ask for a contribution towards expences from whomever wants a serviceable drawing sent by e-mail. Other uses of technical drawing programs Since procuring my drawing program, a few unexpected applications of it have cropped up.
