"Hello to all fellow DIY audio enthusiasts!
I'm reaching out from Lake Mary, Florida, hoping to find someone with talent and experience in CAD design who might be able to lend a hand with a very exciting project for me.
I'm in the process of redesigning a somewhat older passive line array model to give it a new lease on life as an active system. My idea is to use high-quality amplification modules like the Hypex FA 123 or FA 503 to power it. Additionally, I'm optimizing its component configuration, replacing one of the 8-inch drivers with a 6.5-inch one, and modifying the angle of the rear of the enclosure to achieve more precise and modern vertical dispersion.
Although I have a clear vision of the result I want to achieve and have managed to generate the new measurements for the enclosure with the help of AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini), I've hit a significant roadblock: I have absolutely no idea how to use CAD software to create the technical drawings necessary for construction. I've tried learning on my own several times, but the learning curve has been too steep, and I feel frustrated by not being able to translate my ideas into a format useful for a carpenter.
Fortunately, I have the original plans for the passive model in various digital formats, and I have clearly defined all the new measurements that I've calculated for the redesigned enclosure. The only thing missing is the magic touch of someone with CAD skills to integrate this information and create the drawings or 3D models that will allow the carpenter to do their work accurately.
If anyone in this amazing community has the knowledge and the goodwill to offer their help, I will be immensely grateful. Your contribution would be fundamental in making this project that I'm so enthusiastic about a reality. Any help, no matter how small it may seem, will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this and for the generosity of your time and expertise. I eagerly await your comments and potential collaborations!"

If you have .dxf files, it should be possible with not too much trouble, depending on how much you have altered.
Maybe someone can chime in.

Do you not have a pen, and some paper ?
Make some drawings, and Talk to the person doing the cabinet work.
When ever I get sheets cut up, I supply hand drawings with dimensions.
When I get the finished parts, they are perfect to less than 0.1mm
