The DWG files created by CAD applications are used industrially by architects, engineers and designers.Ī. Autodesk have robustly resisted attempts to reverse engineer the DWG format by other freeware applications building watermark protection into certain versions. The DWG format is licensed to Autodesk for their AutoCAD application which is the de facto standard for CAD drawings. One of the oldest file types, it was initially conceived in the 1970s for use with the early Computer Aided Design (CAD) devices for 2D and 3D drawings. They do not encode information that is specific to the application software, hardware, or operating system used to create or view the document. A PDF file can be any length, contain any number of fonts and images and is designed to enable the creation and transfer of printer-ready output.Įach PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a 2D document (and, with the advent of Acrobat 3D, embedded 3D documents) that includes the text, fonts, images and 2D vector graphics that compose the document. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.PDF is a file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing documents in a manner that is separate from the original operating system, application or hardware from where it was originally created.

The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955.
We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships. The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you. Overall I have found that the image import, alignment and scaling for using as a background to trace in TC, is a relatively straight forward process once you get to grips with it. So the files could have been much smaller allowing some image embedding if required. I have drawn up my plans with the wrong techniques with literally thousands of elements/entities as I am a self-taught absolute amateur - this resulted in me drawing every item individually (including each treenail head) instead of using blocks and symbols etc - lesson learned for next time. move or delete your parent image files :). This could be overcome by embedding the image (an option in TC Image manger) but your drawing/TC file will become very large - or do not rename.
That said, I think that this is a problem of my own making by deleting or moving the parent file (as they are linked) by default. However, I have experienced some issues with the images disappearing occasionally (the image holder remains) requiring reloading of the image. In my drawings I have imported some large photographs and lithographs, and have had up to as many as 10 underlying images - visibility turned on and off as required - as background reference images (once scaled). I would really like to know more about the TC 2018 image manager if anyone has any experience with it? The TC 2018 blurb states that the image manager has been improved in 2018 but my reading to date suggests that this is only to allow multiple image file import rather than interaction between the image and drawing layers (that is selection of parts of the image to convert/use in the CAD drawing). TC 2016 allowed me to import either a PDF (PDF/Underlay manger) or raster image files (BMP, JPG etc), which if put on their own layer, aligned and scaled then locked, allow you to trace what you need - note they are separate tools in TC.

I used TurboCAD 2016 Pro to develop the plans for my HMCSS Victoria build (ongoing).
