Anybody here use AutoCAD?

We use Auto cad 2000 i at work for customer Sales Drawings and what not but all of our design work is done with SolidWorks. I have used SolidWorks  2001 up to 2007. I also learned Pro E  Wildfire in College. Once you have used either Pro-E or SolidWorks AutoCad is just for 2d stuff. I have 3 years of experience now with SolidWorks now and can model up just about anything. My last project at work was  our new casting of our short lower unit for the Stern Drives we manufacture at Konrad Marine. So if you need any Cad work done let me know.

I did the design/Cad work for the lower unit on this drive as well as the standoff box it is mounted to and all the external steering

I started on CAD 2000 professionally, and have moved to ADT 3.3, then ADT 2006, then ADT 2007, then Revit 9.  Then I quit the Arch. Firm and went to a industrial design firm.  Currently working a lot for Texas Gas Co. which requires Microstation V8.  YUK!!!  Just started training in on Inventor 11.  I first started learning CAD on release 10.

What did you think of Revit?  I had a one year license I got with some other Autodesk products but I didn't mess with it much and the license expired before I could really do anything.

I use quite a few AutoLisps with keyboard shortcuts...

Just got this the other day... now I need figure out which commands are the lucky ones.

ASA addon, for Concrete Reinforcement Detailing.

I just customize my key commands in the pgp file. No extras needed.

No add-ons or extensions that I know of.

Being that I'm doing fabricated steel drawings, I don't really need any extra stuff for that.

Revit is a great program.  You design the model electronically and pull your construction document info from it.  The thing I liked the most was that kept all of the sheets, details, and views numbered for you so when things moved everything updated automatically. It works very smoothly compared to Arhitectural Desktop by far. Many firms are implementing Revit at this time as it is a superior product.  That's why Autodesk bought it a few years back.

I learned AutoCAD 2000 (I think it was) in College and at my job now that I've been at for about 4 months I used AutoCAD Mechanical 2006 and now 2007.  I taught myself about paperspace and sheet sets.  And with 2007 they made the 3d alot easier so I'm making 3d things right now.  But next week the company i work for is getting Inventor which will be better for 3d and I'll be trained in it by Autodesk.  I used Solidworks also but only in college.
