Not very long ago, I was talking with some Architects about Revit and they made the comment that Revit doesn’t work for residential design. I was surprised at their comments, especially with Revit’s roots being in residential design. After talking with them, I learned that they use AutoCAD now and they were just interested in producing 2D construction documents and didn’t care about any 3D features or any intelligence that might be inside Revit. They all had used AutoCAD for many years and had their AutoCAD blocks created and systems in place to produce 2D documentation quickly. They were very efficient at their system, didn’t see any reason to change, and only looked for excuses to not make any change.

For AutoCAD users, the latest big news is that Autodesk has released their 2016 version of AutoCAD. Along with AutoCAD, you can also get the 2016 versions of AutoCAD LT, AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD MEP, AutoCAD Electrical, and AutoCAD Mechanical. As with each release, there are features that you will love and some that you really don’t care about. However, which features are preferred vary per person and per discipline. I will try to give a basic description of some of the new/updated features of AutoCAD 2016.
Posted inTagged. I don’t very often review software products for my blog, but I decided to review Able2Extract PDF Converter 8 from Investintech.com.
This is a software that will convert PDF files to AutoCAD files. It will also convert PDF files to Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, OpenOffice, HTML, and Images. My primary interest is in conversion to AutoCAD, since I wanted to know how it works in assisting with building design. I work with both Revit and AutoCAD products, so my focus is based on those software packages.
Posted inTagged. As a consultant and trainer, I work with many people that are currently working with AutoCAD or transitioning to Revit. I am constantly amazed at the number of architectural users of AutoCAD that are not aware of detail components within AutoCAD Architecture. These components can be an important part of drafting the many details that are part of an architectural design office.
Over the years, I have spent many hours drafting details for construction documents and I think of the advantages of having pre-made components available to me for detailing. Posted in TaggedPost navigation. Categories.
