Hi Andy, The CAD method works well for multi-pulley setups or if you just want to find the belt length and already know the pulley diameters and approx centres. If you are playing with diameters and spacing a calculator like the one you linked is definitely the way to go. It gets pretty tedious redrawing everything unless you have parametric cad.
