• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Autodesk Viewer | Free Online File Viewer

Autodesk Viewer is a free online viewer for 2D and 3D designs including AutoCAD DWG, DXF, Revit RVT and Inventor IPT, as well as STEP, SolidWorks, CATIA and others.
autode.sk autode.sk

I'm trying various ways to embed a 3d file in the forum.
Above here I am linking to a "Free" autodesk viewer. I think it has downsides including requiring an account but what does it do for people justing looking at it here?

I get asked if I want Canadian or US pages. After picking Canada, I get taken to what looks like a home page. I don't see a viewer or an object.

As Autodesk is an American company, I'd prefer almost anything but.
That being said, can't suggest an appropriate alternative but I'm sure they're out there.

Embedded & link take me directly to the Printables page, and opens the 3D Viewer.
 
The embedded link is:

I inserted spaces to stop the forum from parsing the link. Bottom line is that this is a living link that gets parsed by Autodesk. It can't be counted on to take anyone anyplace because it can be changed at Autodesk's will.
