There are some commercial libraries but you have to buy them.
For many other types of hardware you can download the files from the
hardware manufacturers web sites (usually for free) but not for any AN
hardware that I am aware of.
Dan is right though ... it is no big deal to draw them (I have done this
for
some hardware).
I've begun the task of drawing the basics - as I need them. There
must be a "gazillion" different nuts out there, or it seems that way.
Once I get a good batch of files I'll post them on my web site for
download. No reason not to share.
CAD is something that I'm glad I taught myself. Slow at first, but
now, it really saves time and material. The reason for needing
hardware drawings was to make sure I had room to actually get a socket
on my aileron hinge mounts. Nice to know that there will be room
before mixing up the resin. There was! :-)
Also being able to print accurate full size templates takes a lot of
the work out of making things. Not a big deal if you follow the
plans, but if you venture as far out in the Experimental part of our
hobby as I have............
If you've never used CAD - Learn. Do a Google for DeltaCad for a good
first CAD program (free download). So simple I bet that even someone
that flunked geometry can make useable drawings in less than a 1/2
hour.
