1966 Specific Wiring Diagrams In CAD

[t120r]

Hello everyone, I found and redrew the original 1966 wiring diagrams in CAD. I can't upload them to this site as they are files and not photos. If someone knows a way to convert them easy, I'll do it and upload them. If anyone wants the CAD file, just PM me. One condition, please let me know any errors or changes that should be made. I'll update it easy enough.

EDIT** I uploaded the diagrams as pdf files. The JPG files are too light. PDFs are a little better. If there are any Autocad gurus out there who know how to export to the same quality as the Autocad drawing, I'd love to know. Either way, these should print fine on any home printer.

Awesome thank you

Take a screen shot or snip with windows 10 software? CAD software probably has an export function to pdf.

Exporting it to PDF still doesn't help as this site only lets you upload photos. I'm not sure if you've ever used Autocad, but exporting to a jpg, BMP, etc always comes out crappy. If someone knows a way not to lose the quality, I'll be happy to do it.

I used this page online to convert Gary's CAD file to PDF

I've uploaded pdf files here.

If you are using Solidworks, the 3D pdf output function is pretty cool. Anyone can rotate and look at the CAD file in 3D.

Which program are you using?

I'm using AutoCAD

Really? I thought you could only upload pictures...

I have also uploaded PDFs, maybe you have to be a contributor?

On a Windows computer, get the drawing in the size you want, and it CTRL+PrintScreen to take a screenshot. Then paste it into MSPaint and crop/edit as needed. You can stitch together several screenshots to keep a big drawing at a usable resolution. When you're done, save it as a 16- or 256-color BMP (for precision) and then as a JPG to upload. That's how I did this:

Well I thought I had auto renew for contributor status. I was mistaken, so I just fixed that. Here's the attached CAD file for whoever is interested. Any corrections or suggestions for improvement are appreciated.

Any corrections or suggestions for improvement are appreciated.

You mean like, for example fixing the title to say 1966 instead of 1996?;D

What do I need to open up the file? That program linked to near the beginning of the discussion?

Thanks

Oh geez... that's a typo for sure. If i get a chance I'll fix that over the weekend.

Yeah, you open it you'll need Autocad or similar drafting program. I'm not sure how it will turn out, but i can always print them and then scan them to a jpeg. I'll try and see this weekend.

Ahh yeah, figured it was Autocad, but wasn't sure. I used to have it on my old laptop, but have not done it in a long time.
I'll see if there is a free viewer.

If you, your spouse, kids, etc are somehow in the education field, you can get an education licence to use Autocad for free. It's really great if you want to make drill jigs/layouts for brackets.

Scanned pictures are now uploaded to the first post.
