I am a graphic designer of 25 years experience who choose MOI3D after coming up with a product idea I needed to turn into CAD files for 3D printing, laser cutting etc.
At the beginning I thought I would use my skills and familiarity with Illustrator to form the 2D vectors them bring them into MOI. I ran into the same problems on filleting etc. I soon decided to explore the 2D tools in MOI3D using the Top view and have never looked back. The vector tools in MOI are superb for the purpose. They also are designed for mechanical accuracy. I too suggest you take the plunge and go for Top view and vectors in MOI - you won't look back!
MOI3D, with its power and truly intuitive way of working, has enabled me to step into the 3D world and produce CAD drawings I thought I could never, ever master, and hence give me a fighting chance of producing a working prototype of my invention. I am very grateful for that. Thank you Michael and all of the 3D wizards on this board whose work and generous sharing of knowledge inspires me to press on.
