Anybody here use AutoCAD? Reply #15 – January 20, 2007, 05:41:19 PM 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 Quote Selected

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.

Anybody here use AutoCAD? Reply #25 – January 27, 2007, 11:53:38 PM 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. Quote Selected
