Can anyone help me? I need to build a simple 3d drawing in DWF format. I don't own autocad and I don't want to spend the cash for a possible one off. I need to get a 3d printing quote for a prototype and I need the drawing to even get a quote. Anyone?

DWF is illegal at Summersville Lake.

I shall do it.
You mean DWG?
You need an STL file for 3d printing.
I can do one for you if you like.
What is it?

Also if you want to create a 2D file
DWG or DXF
You can download a program called DraftSight. It's completely free and easier to use than Autocad.
If you want it in a 3D file I will turn it into one for you.

You can also download the full AutoCad 2012 package for a 30 day trial. The OSX version kicks butt.

Shall we turn this thread into a CAD software debate?

I really think you underestimate our abilities by bolding the word simple.

Although simple might make us not charge the shit out of you
