neat-oh!A recent image from Nashville I took then altered it in Photoshop a little.
hey Oli, stryder, any ideas on how to avoid the "feathering " of the lines.....I don't know what it's called but it has something to do with resolution..
The lines are fractured or what ever....

The only way is to have as high a resolution (pixel dpi) as possible.
The "jaggies" form because although the line (mathematically) runs smoothly from point A to point B (it's a vector line) it's always displayed as a raster image (a series of dots). And since these dots are arranged in a rectangular pattern anything that isn't exactly aligned with that pattern will show jaggies.
The higher the resolution the closer the dots and the less the jaggies show: but I've been using CAD for so long now it rarely registers with me, and given a decent printer/ plotter the lines come out smooth on the actual hard copy.
And one other problem (especially with the images I've posted here) is that although the drawing is a vector image I've had to save those shots as raster (jpg) because I suspect that few members here have anything like E-Drgs software to display the actual interactive CAD image, plus the conversion from vector to raster will drop the dpi of the image itself.

Thanks I thought that was the case...nice drawings BTW
Nice drawings Oli!

You should title it "Nashville on 3 hits of Acid"
Naw...I think its some sort of suppository insertion device.
Nope, look at the scale: it's a ship (or will be).
The toroid at the front end is 30 metres in diameter.
IIRC, some German chemist first cooked up LSD in 1943 while looking for a sort of "combat drug" or whatnot...
Imagine if they'd given it to their troops...
Speaking of panzers, when Pope Benedict ws first elected, I read an article in which the author called him the "Panzerpope" - perhaps due to his time as the "defender of theological doctrine" or whatever.
For some reason, I thought this would make a good name for a heavy metal band, and cooked up a couple of imaginary album covers...

Damned 3 image per post limit !
:grumble:
Insignia for an imaginary motorcycle gang.
Somebody mentioned to me wanting to start a "This Day In World War 2" site, using a theme which would equate to a person blogging about the events which took place. Sounded kinda kooky, but I gorked up this for a logo.
