Today’s post comes in the form of a guest post for Edwin Prakoso of CAD-Notes.com. Every-time I find myself performing the same tasks in AutoCAD over and over, I look for ways to automate the task. Command macro’s are a really simple way of combining commands together to perform repetitive tasks in a single click. In this guest…
I’d like to thank Ellen Finkelstein for inviting me to write a guest post for her AutoCAD Blog.
This opportunity meant a lot to me. When I started out as a little CAD nipper I took Ellen’s book to work with me every day and spent my lunch hour reading a chapter. It was a great way to learn about AutoCAD, and it wasn’t long before I was teaching my Boss a few tricks!
I can honestly say that reading Ellen’s book gave me an appetite to learn, and teach, as much about CAD as I possibly could. Writing this guest post for Ellen’s Blog feels like a great way to give something back.
Thanks very much Ellen!
I wrote this guest post for Edwin Prakoso of CADnotes.com. Edwin has a great Blog all about AutoCAD, Microstation and Revit – it’s well worth checking out!
‘Did you ever notice the AutoCAD Status Line? It just provides the coordinates of the cursor right? Did you know that you can also use the Status Line to provide real time reports from system variables?’
Find out how to switch from Autocad’s ‘Classic’ Interface, to the new Ribbon Interface in Autocad 2009, Autocad 2010 and Autocad 2011.
If you use Autodesk Inventor, you probably got a seat of Autocad along with it. In fact – you probably got Autocad mechanical as well, But do you make use of it?
Autocad Mechanical is a ‘vertical’ product of Autocad. This means that the team at Autocad have written lots of useful extra tools aimed specifically at the Engineering drafter.
Autocad Mechanical has more or less been superseded by Autodesk Inventor. Autocad Mechanical is included with Autodesk Inventor largely to aid companies who are progressing from program to the other.
So if you are not making use of the Extras in Autocad Mechanical, how do you turn them off?
