    CAD File Help

    Some time ago I had a cd or folder or magical grab bag of 1,000's of different 3d files for valves, gauges, pipes, screws, couplers, and all manner of things commercial/industrial. I have no idea where it got to and quite frankly I've spent all day yesterday trolling the internet for such a directory. Anyone have any idea where to look for such a collection of files? Much appreciated and a beer/whiskey at PBE if you are attending this year!

    yea i've tried them, they have a couple of the things I was looking for but it takes forever to find it. I have looked at mcmastercarr, thomasnet, traceparts, and a couple dozen other sites. What I am really looking for is one big directory I know its out there somewhere.

    Well let us know if you find it, sounds like something I'd be grateful to have.

    I usually hit up grabcad for nuts/bolts and other hardware (that Mcmaster carr doesn't have)

    example:

    Was it a content center disk from Inventor or Solid works or similar? Or was it some 3rd party source?
