I have noticed that we are getting a lot of questions like this onequestions like this one

Which really are CAD / Mech engineering questions. I will note this person needed several rewrites of his question. Though I am not sure asking for Hollywood 007 scifi computer automagic is focused enough for the group... we can ignore that bit... But it is clear after a few revisions that he is looking for cad help.

Where do you all think we draw the line? As CAD is very closely coupled with 3d. I could see questions such as "how to I render this so it prints well" as a valid question. I am not sure asking for CAD auto processing software really should be topics we tackle. Or do we want to be inclusive to most non specific CAD questions, and let the members who are strong in that area handle it?

The fine line between 3d and CAD
