Petersen Precision welcomes your input of drawings and documents via electronic transmission.

Computer Information
Petersen Precision operates PC computers running Microsoft Windows , Microsoft Office, Visual Enterprise and PKZIP and WINZip compression programs.

Drawing File Formats-CAD
Our CAD system is Solidworks 2010, and we can open drawings in most formats with eDrawings.  Send files in .dxf or .igs (.iges) format.  We can accept Autocad files in .dwg format.  Autocad files can also be saved as .dxf files and transmitted, but this option must be user‑selected. Your may also send files as Adobe Acrobat .pdf files.  Pdf files are useful for viewing, but cannot be used in the CAD system.

Email Transmission
A) Drawings: Send drawings to the e-mail address: ppartridge@petersenprecision.com Always send them as an attachment to your message. If the file is over 5MB, compress it. Do not send them as text files or as the message itself.
B) Data Files
1. Spreadsheets: Excel spreadsheets can be sent by e-mail. Send them as attachments to the e-mail message (compressed if over 2MB), not as the text part of the message itself.
2. Word Processed Documents: Text documents can be sent by e-mail. They must be acceptable to MS Word. Send them as attachments to the e-mail message.
