In ADT Projects Elements are very useful as they can represent content such as an office layout repeated on many locations in a floor or multiple floors in a building. You create an element and insert it in multiple constructs. Each insertion is then displayed & scheduled as if it’

AUGI (AutoCAD User Group International) have a "AUGI CAD Camp" event in November. Its a one day CAD training and networking event with sessions on most Autodesk products, not just AutoCAD. If you are able to get to Florida this would be worth attending. For you and other

I’m always dealing with both CAD files and related projects. Combining Project Information and CAD data for review and presentation was a challenge but it’s just become a whole lot easier. A combination of MindManager and Design Web Format (DWF) allows my Project Plans and CAD data to

Its tough getting a new type of software established.

The idea of migrating traditional tools to a digital workplace specifically for those who don't need,

For me the PDF/DWF battle is over as we have adopted DWF as the CAD sharing format for our Intranet. However the inclusion of 3d will be a great advance for the format. Will be interesting to watch this progress. WorldCAD Access: DWF Goes 3D!

Is his Blog article, Workflow - Modelling, Beau Turner commented on how ADT had changed his workflow in architectural projects. In reply to a comment I made he asked how it had changed ours. Coincidentally, a request at work for a drawing change was a perfect example of how ADT

Got a nice surprise today when Rich forwarded an update to his ADT Pacifica Car Parking Tool. To create a run of parking you pick the type, arrangement and "measure or divide length" options in the dialog and then pick the kerb length in the drawing. Based on
