My apologies if this subject has been addressed, I searched the above subject and found no postings.

I intend to use the emachineshop CAD software to create several drawings of parts that I would like to have fabricated. My familiarity with CAD programs is limited, but I expect to be able to pick up what I need to know as I go. A very real potential problem for me is the limited degree to which I will have have internet connectivity during the part's design/drawing phase.

Will I be able to load your CAD software onto my laptop and use it to create the drawings that I need without being online? I expect that I can arrange to be online at the conclusion of this phase, to interface with emachine to get the quote and order the parts, but it will be impractical for me to be connected to the internet throughout the design/drawing phase.

And would it be possible to submit my design drawings on a CD through conventional channels (i.e., the U.S. mail) for a review/quote by return post and order the parts the same way if it develops that internet connectivity at any point is a problem?

Thank you tech 3. I thought that I'd reviewed the tutorial completely. I missed that page.

Have you considered posting a PDF version of the tutorial? Those who use computers with restricted access to video material would probably find a printed tutorial/user's amnual handy.

Thanks for your suggestion.
