No CAD & Hopeless

Hello!
I've got a recurring issue around here; no CAD models!
Our QM handles communications between us and our customers; I'm just a lowly programmer, and am not allowed to get into contact with Engineering to get CAD models to inspect their parts. Apparently the boss doesn't want to; literally told me "yeah, that's not gonna happen. Can't you program without a CAD model?"

Working Offline on a laptop, because the desktop is currently in the hands of IT, dead.
Dafuq?

What should I do

  • The funny thing is if we dont get a CAD we make a CAD. I bet 1 have made about 1 program in 12 years "online". Who programs a CNC without one? I'm sure its done but holy b@ll$ ! I'm sure the drawing you are looking at was generated from a CAD or was it done on a real drafting board ?
  • I personally don't know somebody who has the software, and they don't pay me enough to look for one outside of work.
    I would also agree the blueprint is equally if not more important.

    Like. FreeCAD would work or something. But now I'm stealing their work, copyright and all that, because I didn't have permissions...
    Blah blah.
