To any lister with AutoCAD experience:
The plate holding the cable idler sheaves that bolts to the bottom of the Edson
steering pedestal on my recent C&C36 purchase has almost completely
disintegrated. I downloaded a .dwg drawing of the assembly from the Edson web
page and installed a version of Autodesk Trueview (2014) that is compatible
with XP, but I cannot get it to print (plot) anything other than an empty
rectangle. I have been poking at it quite a bit and got exactly nowhere. I have
no experience with AutoCAD, and find the user interface tools less than
intuitive. About like my first experience with vi in Unix, only less
productive. Any fiddling with layer colours, and the layout tab disappears
completely. Is there a simple way to print from either the model or the layout
tabs in the file as downloaded? All I have been able to get in the print
preview is a line rectangle the outlines the page, and sure enough, that is all
that prints. The help files have not been helpful in printing, but at least I
can pan, zoom, and take measurements between points.
Edson lists a price for the entire assembly, but the sheaves appear to be ok,
and the Edson price (US$ 360) is pretty high for what I think that I actually
need. I would rather just make a mounting plate if I can't purchase one for a
reasonable price.

Dennis,
Interesting idea. The file is the problem, however.
