To get a 2D DWG file for a 40ft high cube shipping container, you can either download a pre-made file from various online resources or create one using CAD software. Here are a few steps and resources you can use to find or create such a file:
### Online Resources for Pre-made DWG Files
1. **CAD Forums and Libraries**: Websites like CADdetails, CADforum, and CADblocks offer a variety of free DWG files, including shipping containers.
– **CADforum**: [CADforum](https://www.cadforum.cz)
– **CADblocksfree**: [CADblocksfree](https://cadblocksfree.com)
2. **Manufacturers’ Websites**: Some shipping container manufacturers provide DWG files for architects and engineers. Check the technical resources or download sections of these websites.
3. **Online CAD Marketplaces**: Websites like TurboSquid or GrabCAD offer both free and paid DWG files.

### Creating a DWG File using CAD Software
If you have access to CAD software like AutoCAD, you can create a 2D drawing of a 40ft high cube shipping container yourself. Here are the basic dimensions you’ll need:
– **Exterior Dimensions**:
– Length: 40 feet (12,192 mm)
– Width: 8 feet (2,438 mm)
– Height: 9 feet 6 inches (2,896 mm)
– **Interior Dimensions**:
– Length: 39 feet 5 inches (12,032 mm)
– Width: 7 feet 8 inches (2,352 mm)
– Height: 8 feet 10 inches (2,698 mm)
– **Door Opening**:
– Width: 7 feet 8 inches (2,340 mm)
– Height: 8 feet 5.5 inches (2,570 mm)
### Steps to Draw the Container
1. **Base Rectangle**: Draw a rectangle with the exterior length and width.
2. **Walls**: Offset the base rectangle to represent the wall thickness (usually around 1.6-2.0 mm).
3. **Doors**: Add the door dimensions on one end of the rectangle.
4. **Details**: Add any additional details like corner castings, reinforcements, and roof corrugations.
