I wish TLC would make these parts. Seeing earlier discussions I think I’m
not alone! I’ve attempted 3rd angle projection drawings, showing top, side
and underside, despite not having a drawing package. Drawing these parts in
Paint is eyestrain city!

YIKES!
Well, OK, this is what I need for my students to model parts in AutoCAD! I
tried this one because it looked the easiest; I’ll do the others if there’s
interest. I don’t know if anyone else has mocked these up already..
It took me about 10 minutes, but mainly because I had to figure out how
STL2DAT worked (I usually use 3DWin, but it didn’t do such a great job). It
looks OK in MLCAD, but I know it’s pretty messy.. I guess good enough to
throw a MOC together for fun.

Are you doing 3rd angle projection or 3D?
10 minutes is a lot less than it took me in Paint. I suppose once you’re
trained in AutoCAD, a lot of things are quick.
Could you post jpegs of the results?
I created bits like studs in the drawing and did a lot of copying and pasting.
getting them to line up well with a limited screen size was the main problem in
Paint. I suppose the CAD packages automatically line things up for you.

Something to do between TO soundbytes, anyway. Is the DAT file helpful at all, or (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)
