Welcome to the Cad Setter Out. This is my Blog for posting the tips, tricks, tutorials and reference that I have picked up over the last few years of producing joinery shop drawings using CAD.
The focus will be on Autodesk software products, primarily AutoCad and Inventor (because that’s what I use) and on Setting Out working drawings for the Construction industry (because that’s what I do).
I hope that this Blog will become a useful resource for my colleagues and myself, and maybe for you too.
