HEY, who knows about autocad, well
am also into autocad, 2d and 3d.
want to meet people

hmm. . .

i was just considering starting a thread on this. . .

i'm an electrical engineer.
i use autocad.i'm currently using autocad 2009. I'm a cad freak, i'm constantly looking for tools that can enhance my productivity. i've learnt how to hack the registry to auto load applications, how to rebuild legacy lisp applications - over the weekend i got dsx tools 2002 to run on autocad 2009 - this week i discovered scripts, and i configured a script to automaticvally reset soem autocad variables whenenever i open a drawing.

i've done so much tweaking to my autocad interface, i've configured some lisp and arx files that i autoload into the main cui file -

there are all sorts of sites out there where you can download free lsp, arx, vlx and block files ; textupport.net, jtb wotld, jeferry sanders, cadalyst, dotsoft, cae link, xanadu.cz., autodesk labs,
and of course, there are all sorts of commercial apps that can be pirated

one thing i've been trying to figure out is if i can recompiile legacy arx file(2004, 2002) to 2007 format, so i can recover legacy arx applications. i know visual studio 2005 is used to compile arx file, but i'm not sure if it can recompile an arx without the source code- not that i have any programming skills, but i do know how to tweal lisp files.

i haven't really moved into 3d autocad, probably because i use google sketchup - in much the same way, you can download all sorts of free ruby scripts that can boost your productivity. i ran a funny hack of goole yesterday - a plugin was preventing another plugin( a rendering plugin - povray) from loading i copied my sketchup folder renamed it , deleted the conflicting plugin, and ran sketchup.i wasn't sure it would work- but it did . so now i have two shortcuts to sketchup; one labelled 'basic', and the other labelled 'rendering'

you can also find auto cad and sketchup video tutorials on you tube.

wow
u really are a CAD freak

i'm about to start learning autocard , now please advise me on where to start, what to get and how long would it take to be good

@oyb
where do you think i can get a quality place to learn it perfectly, where i was, they dont really teach it well, and you know there is only little i can do on it my self. i can only boast of 2D a little

DEAR LANDERS,
AM INTO AUTOCAD.

AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND EXCEEDING GOOD IN 2D AND 3D, I CAN TEACH IT VERY WELL BUT AM IN WARRI RIGHT NOW. IN AUTOCAD , JUST IMAGINE GREAT DESIGNS AND C YOURSELF REALISING IT WITH AUTOCAD. WELCOME.

I don't think anybody can train me on AutoCAD better than Dele Omo-Akin 08020699799. Because before i was introduced to him, I have wasted money and time to some people and yet they don't have the right answer to my question. But Dele gave me all I need concentratedly. In fact, Dele you are too much.

If you still want to stand on your own as a draftman or want to understand the AutoCAD (2d and 3d) as a business owner or you are an Engineer and you wish to enhance your job search, please for better understanding and attention, call Dele on 08020699799, 08038144744.


Best of luck!!!

Boy, i used this program in my first year in Engineering.

Am a also specialised in autocad 2D and from wat i have observed you have to do alot of practice to become very good in autocad.

i need help with my autocad drawing assignment ,can anyone help me here i am willing to pay...thanks
