Hey All, I remember early in my career, I had an engineer come up to me to chat about a set of IFC drawings we had produced for a somewhat unique geotechnical design involving multiple retaining walls, including some more artistic/creative rock-stack style walls/benches to improve the aesthetics of the […]
Hey All, Do you ever have weeks or days where every time you sit down to work you feel like you’re already behind? I’ve had this happen more times than I’d like to admit. You open a file from a consultant or an old project…And it’s just chaos. Files seem […]
Hey all, I hope you’re having a great week and doing well! This week’s a bit different for me. I’m currently down in Disney World with my wife and kids for their spring break, fully in “dad mode,” riding rides, eating way too much, fitting in a margarita/beer when I […]
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!
Today we’re going to be taking a look at a new Cloud/Online Offering from SolidWorks. It’s a browser-based CAD offering that is bringing SolidWorks remote!
I’ve long been a proponent of cloud and browser-based design platforms.
With more and more teams working remotely and in hybrid arrangements every year. Being able to get away from expensive modeling hardware, servers, file organization, and Network licenses not only provides huge cost savings, it also helps streamline the shift to distributed teams while maintaining collaboration through a project’s lifecycle.
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.
Have you spent much time in VR yet? Recently I’ve been trying out and testing different use cases for VR when it comes to remote work, engineering, design, and general day-to-day tasks. I feel like VR and AR are much more commonplace in the major tech sectors and still flying […]
Hey Everybody, Welcome back to the blog and thank you for stopping in! If you caught my post from earlier in the week (Coffee Break #9 – The Dobot Mooz-3 3D Printer) you might remember I mentioned that I had let myself fall behind on my blog posts towards the end […]
