The UCS is a powerful tool in AutoCAD that allows you to control the drawing plane. It is very important to learn how to use this tool. It can be used for good and evil (for example, in a civil drawing, it is important to keep the UCS in the World Coordinate System otherwise the drawing may not line up with XREFs correctly). Every AutoCAD drafter should learn to use and manipulate the UCS correctly. read more...

Yes, it's that time again. New products shipping and lots of scrambling (I like bacon with my eggs). Anyway, yes, always upgrade the license manager when implementing new Autodesk Networked products. The current version is 11.7.0.0 for the 2011 programs. read more...

" This may only apply to me but, we had an issue where we needed to update our standard layers but only on projects created with our new standards. Since the new standards were built using the Sheet Set Manager I added this bit of code to the AcadDoc that way we only hit the drawing files that were created in the new standards " read more...

".. you can now customize portions of the user interface. Ribbon panels can be pulled off the ribbon and placed around your screen (or on a second monitor) you can add buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar and the project browser will now remember where you put it last with each session of Revit. This customization could lead to you forgetting where you put things of course, so if you want to go back to the standard out of the box UI we can do a trick to reset things back. .." read more...

As most of you know by now, support for AutoCAD 2010 has been removed from shipping version of AutoCAD 2010. Although support for VBA in AutoCAD moving forward is questionable, for now you canenable it again by downloading it from Autodesk and installing it seperately. They have also provided us with a script to assist in deploying it in a "Corporate Environment" .. see below : http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=12900036&linkID=9240617 read more...

Not too long before the launch event for AutoCAD 2010, Shaan Hurley made a post on his blog “Office AutoCAD Pranks”. Shaan’s post ended up being the topic of discussion for one of the more candid conversations the bloggers Autodesk invited to San Francisco had. I don’t need to tell you what can happen when you gather a bunch of bonafide AutoCAD geeks in the same room. Needless to say, the pranks we dreamed up ranged from harmless to all out cruel. In the spirit of April Fools Day I thought I’d share some of these pranks with you the readers of The CAD Geek. read more...
