I have been looking for a program that converts a vector autoCAD dwg (2005) into a freehand sketch drawing for client presentations. The freehand look is to applied to 2D and 3D dwgs.
I have looked into Penguin, Sketch-Up and Squiggle, and am looking for other options. Anyone run into any other good programs?
Adobe made a standalone product that I have still have on my computer (which I am not on now) that does what you are describing.
I can't remember the name until I get back on my computer tonight. They don't make it anymore but it comes in handy from time to time.
by your own hand? seems a bit rough, i know....but there is just something about that REAL stuff. drawing classes are fairly vheap, so is a sketchbook...
PimpMinisterPete - Did you ever recall the Adobe Program for the freehand look?
Alpha - I checked out squiggle as well, but they don't have a working app for autoCAD 2005.
I know ADT has a command called Napkin (for napkin sketches), but they don't have similar command for autoCAD. I also found a program called "wizzle" which has a so-so freehand plug-in, but comes with a bunch of other stuff i don't need.
I want this primarily for a quick 2D conversions. The 3d conversion is optional, and always a plus.
