- The question below is directed to the AutoCAD expert, and bear with
- me if this is not exactly the right forum.
-
- Can you define different 3D objects in AutoCAD and give them some
- kind of hierachical relationship between the objects ? May be something
- similar or of the same idea as PHIGS ? or do you only draw one object
- at a time. What if my intention is to model the dynamics of the 4 wheels
- of a vehicle, with the drawing input from a AutoCAD DXF file format. Is
- there any clean way for me to input the geomatrical data of each wheel and at
- the sametime note the relationship (in this case I'll only expect a
- geomatric relationship) between them ? How will it look like in a DXF file ?
-
- Thanks a bunch,
-
