Tools for drawing robotic manipulators? Mike 03-21-2007

Hi there - I was wondering, are there any tools for drawing basic
sketches of robotic manipulators? I would like something that could
create a sketch in a form something like that shown on this page:
http://www1bpt.bridgeport.edu/~abuzneid/ppp/node6.html

Ideally, I'd like to find something that could go directly from a DH
table to a sketch- that would really be nice.

Anybody know of anything like this?

Thanks!

FreeCAD by a gentleman named, A-S Koh at http://www.geocities.com/askoh_us/
may do some of the things you want. He also has an upgraded version
that is only $24.

However, this program is a motion simulator, not really an extensive
modeler or illustration program. You might import/export the parts
with a program like Alibre, which has a free scaled down version. It
really is a VERY extensive 3d parametric modeler. I am not sure what
format (if any) will be common between the two programs beyond DXF.
