CADTIMES Podcast Episode 007

Please email us at podcast@cadtimes.com if you have any questions or suggestions.

This week I go over the Autodesk Home Use FAQ available from the Subscription Center and the free Intersection Design Tutorial available there as well. Also the wiki is now functioning, and I have started a brief tutorial to go over how to begin a project in Civil 3D for someone who has never used it, or Land Desktop, before.

New for this week is the Annotation Scaling Whitepaper available from a link on Heidi Hewett’s blog. If you’ve never used annotation scaling before, give it a try. It will definitely make things easier if you deal a lot with multiple drawing scales.

Site Upgrade/Screw Up & New Feature

Well, if you’ve seen the site, you’ll know what the title means.  We had to upgrade the site, and in the process, screwed stuff up.  So we’ll be working on brining the previous posts and comments over.  Unfortunately, the automatic process did not work.  So bear with us as we sort through the wonderful world of SQL databases.

As for the new feature, we’ve added a wiki for site development/civil engineering.  It will be developing as the weeks go by, so check back for updates.

And as always, if you have any comments or suggestions, the email address is: podcast@cadtimes.com

CADTIMES Podcast Episode 006

Please email us at podcast@cadtimes.com if you have any questions or suggestions.

This week I briefly discuss the free online “webinar” taught by Engineered Efficiency on Civil 3D and Designing Intersections and Cul-de-Sacs. The book the class used was from Autodesk and written by Engineered Efficiency. Overall, a very good book, and class. This book is definitely something you can go through at your own pace.
