Protocase Design Help.

Aircommando · January 10, 2020

test.pda I was wondering if there's anyone who can help edit this design in an actual cad software to make it make more sense and also accomodate for some side rails for a server rack and also help me edit some errors in the design as i used protocase's designer as i don't know how to use a cad software

Their PDA format is only good for their in house designer unfortunately. CAD programs like Inventor cant read those types of files (which is saying something as Inventor can open a lot of different files)

what file type would you need cause i used protocase's designer as it was easiest for me to put together a rough draft of the design of the case.

i was able to export it into a autodesk file would somebody be able to edit this file to add mounting points for the pci slots and make sure the motherboard standoff are in the right spots for an atx motherboard and possibly change the color to all jet black and make the front panel glossy red with AIRNATION DESIGN somewhere on the front panel and add mounting points on the sides for rails and maybe make sure the power button hole on the front is the right diameter for a 16mm in diameter power button if you can edit this file i would be very grateful.
