Hey All, Hopefully your week is off to a great start so far! In our house I’m happy we’re almost all over a round of everyone coming down with a cold now that school’s in full swing. Though I’m sure there will be plenty more where this one came from as […]
Hey All, I hope your week is off to a great start so far! This week I’m excited to share a new tutorial video that was really fun to make. I have always enjoyed modeling objects and parts in my spare time and in particular, things that I use a lot in my […]
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.
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!
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 […]
Arguably one of the more confusing topics in AutoCAD to newer designers and those that learned prior to paper space/annotative text is scaling within AutoCAD. I can’t remember how many times I’ve been asked about setting up scales, fixing viewports, annotative text, what size to draw things in model space, and […]
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 […]
This past year has seen a lot of change in the way we work as designers. Some of us have transitioned to fully remote positions like myself, while many are working on a hybrid Office/Home schedule and even fewer it seems, have returned to the office full time. Regardless of […]
