CADTIMES Blog

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

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.

Blogs are one of the best sources for information out there, so we’ve just added a new blog category.  So if there’s a blog you read daily, a blog that always has good information, or a blog that is just funny, submit it.

We’ve added a new feature: Suggestions.  To make a suggestion for the site, or for anything you would like to see, simply submit a story without at URL, and add it to the “Suggestions” category.  We’ll try to implement all the suggestions, and we’ll work on ones with the most votes first.

Stay tuned for information about the upcoming podcast where we discuss the week’s top stories, and some real life experiences with the submitted tips.
