I have an old version of Auto Cad that runs on windows 98. It won't
load on any of the newer operating systems so what I'm looking at doing is
running a "virtual" 98 operating system on a new machine with windows 7
. Using the raid drive set up and a fast processer it shoud make
everything run really fast with excellent graphics.

Thanks, Frank. I've never used Paint and didn't know
it could produce those drawings.

Frank?
The only drawing tools I've used throughout the whole sub thing is
the "PAINT" program that comes with every computer.
It's very basic and simple but as I use it just to explain what I'm
talking about, simplicity is a good thing.
Brent used "COSMOS" and made several very impressive renderings and
if I was a bit more computer savvy, that's what I'd probably look into
learning.
Most of my actual design work is done with paper and pencil, then
typically a few computer sketches are made to work out a few random ideas,
followed by actual cut/weld fabrication, and then I use paint again to
make a "cleaned up" version of an "as-built" and the pic goes into my
file.
The whole thing about the COSMOS program is the colors and surface
textures making Brent's work look like photos of actual parts. Very
realistic and three dimensional.

Hey, Lawrie,
Unfortunately I'm still using a literal drawing
board. I've installed TurboCad Professional but won't have an
opportunity to even begin to learn it for several more weeks. Frank
has submitted some very good CAD drawings of components.
If I recall correctly the last ones were emergency release
buoys. I don't know what program he used. Frank?

Good point Jim. Back to the drawing board as they say :-)
Pretty cool, Lawrie.
From the standpoint of stability, it looks like it would be
difficult to sit on the sea bottom or the deck of a tender. On
deck a great deal of the weight would be transferred to the
pontoons. One possible solution would be to divide the
underslung battery pods into left and right pods and run supports to
the hull.
It's caused me to re-evaluate something on my own
design.
Thanks,
Jim
