Hey All, I hope you’re doing well and managing to stay afloat in this typically busy season for engineering, design, and construction! It’s certainly been crazy here the last few weeks but things are starting to settle down and I’m excited to share this week’s email/tutorial with you all. First off, […]
Hey All, I hope your week has been a good one and not as busy as mine so far 🙂 I wanted to share today’s video asap since it’s a great one when it comes to saving time and setting up our AutoCAD or C3D workspaces to be as efficient and easy to […]
Hey All, Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week and are ready for a few days off to recharge. It’s been a couple of weeks since the last email/video due to a last-minute surgery and then getting sick right after, but all is well and back to normal!!! And […]
I’ve long talked about how Sheet Sets are one of the most underused yet highly helpful tools in AutoCAD. I think the steep learning curve and general confusion about how Sheet Sets work have unfortunately kept many users from using them, but this is a huge hindrance to productivity, especially on large projects!
Hey All, It’s hard to believe we’re already in March, it seems like just yesterday we were setting New Year resolutions and in the midst of an unusually warm winter. With March comes spring and typically around here that means renovations, spring cleaning, and general organizing/re-arranging. One thing I’ve always […]
This week, I wanted to share a new video where we are diving into how viewports work in AutoCAD.
Easily one of the most common questions and sticking points when learning AutoCAD is the difference and use for Model space versus Paper or Layout Space.
A big part of the confusion or learning curve is many users have difficulty fully understanding what or how a viewport is used. Along with what it can do for us as designers!
Hey All, Good morning and Happy New year! I hope you had a great holiday season and got to enjoy some much-needed time away from work to recharge and get ready for the new year. If you don’t already follow/subscribe to the CAD Intentions newsletter (Signup here: cadintentions.com/signup) I recently wrote […]
Morning All! I hope you’re having a great week and things aren’t too busy for you as we enter the fall season. Fall can typically be a bit of a crazy time of year in the AEC industry, lots of projects are in a rush to wrap up construction before […]
Being a Designer/Drafter/Engineer can be quite a sedentary and repetitive career.
To stay engaged, healthy, and happy, it’s essential to make an effort to keep active & learn consistently. Over our careers, we’ll go through periods of boredom, low energy, and doubt…
Tasks become familiar, repetitive, and unchallenging.
Days can feel like they’re dragging on.
Health and energy levels feel like they’re always taking a back seat.
Spending every day sitting at a desk can be draining.
XREFs are the building blocks of almost all AutoCAD drawings, particularly production drawings as they become more detailed and complicated. Xrefs allow use to keep track of different elements of the drawing and ensure everything stays up to date.
