Are you confused about how to plot all the different views (plan, profile, and cross sections) in AutoCAD Civil 3D software? Then this class is for you. We will discuss the settings and styles that help to automate the plotting of your projects, whether they include plans, profiles, cross sections, or a combination of these sheet sets. We will also examine the necessary settings required for your drawing templates to make the plotting process a breeze. In addition, we will cover some of the AutoCAD software plotting functionality that you can capitalize on. Come and learn how to automate the plotting of your projects using AutoCAD Civil 3D software (no Robin required). Batman is a trademark of DC Comics.

There are few online storage providers out there. Come and see how you can use Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox for the AutoCAD desktop app and the AutoCAD mobile app.

Join us for an inspiring session about the future of AutoCAD by Autodesk leadership, Mimi Hoang and Rob Maguire. This keynote will focus on the importance of data to design, how your CAD software can help you adapt to the new normal and the impact of a multi-platform workflow.

This workshop will familiarize attendees with the AutoCAD mobile app's functionalities. They will learn how to complete key daily workflows on their mobile devices, enriching their toolsets and versatility as professionals. We'll present and act out 4 or 5 real-life scenarios involving several typical personas (=roles) in the AutoCAD community (architect, designer, surveyors, and so on). The scenarios will involve a problem we need to solve or a goal we need to achieve. We'll showcase, along with volunteers from the crowd, how to solve these challenges quickly and on the go using the AutoCAD mobile app.

Tablets and smartphones are no longer futuristic concepts. These devices are ubiquitous and extremely powerful, in both in our daily lives and our professional workflows. But how can we use them in our CAD lives? The AutoCAD mobile app lets us use the copious amounts of data we include in our DWG™ files anywhere we are. Whether in the coffee shop, on the factory floor, or in the middle of a field (cell signal notwithstanding), you can get to your DWG files in the cloud, make changes to the native geometry, and share your changes with others. Other apps can help you complete your workflow, from marking up prints to sharing designs. This class will go through the basics of adding cloud access to AutoCAD mobile, drawing new geometry, and modifying existing work, as well as pulling information such as dimensions and areas from your drawings. We’ll also cover best practices and access for non-AutoCAD users, as well as some additional apps that can be useful in the field.

Shaun Bryant (CadJedi), a LinkedIn Learning [in]structor, will show you how to take your CAD projects on the road, using the cloud, the AutoCAD mobile app, and the AutoCAD web app, as well as the mobile and browser-based versions of classic AutoCAD desktop software. You no longer need to use bricks to hold down large drawings on-site for viewing; Shaun will show you how to set up a desktop installation of AutoCAD software to work with the cloud-based web and mobile folders, and how to view and edit designs on the fly and in the field from a tablet or smartphone. Using both the AutoCAD mobile app and the AutoCAD web app, you’ll learn how to access the tools from any mobile browser, sync your files across devices, upload files on the go, and edit drawings from a mobile browser or sync them back to the desktop for closer inspection once you’re back in the comfort of your office!

After a one-year hiatus, the CAD manager wish list is back, with a focus on the unique challenges that 2020 has presented fellow CAD managers. Did you have to switch your staff to a work-from-home environment? How did you handle it? What would you do differently in the future? How could you be better prepared if there’s a next time? Various work-from-home strategies, licensing issues, file access concerns, user management, even shifts in meetings and collaboration—we’ll tackle many topics that made 2020 a memorable year for any CAD manager. As usual, an Autodesk research team member will be in attendance, so this is an opportunity to have the CAD manager’s voice heard!

The process starts with PDF files of guitar designs, which are imported into AutoCAD. These are correctly scaled and once the shape of the guitar body is finalised, the new shape is imported into Inventor. The new shape is overlayed onto an AnyCAD model in Inventor and then modified to suit the new design. The electro components are positioned into the guitar body and virtually wired. Some drawing verification is done to ensure that everything is the right size, as the guitar needs to sound right, then renderings are done in Inventor. A nesting study is then run to optimise material usage for a future production run. A CNC study will also be created for future manufacturing runs. The prototype will be built with hand tools. Next I show how to create templates for building the guitar body in AutoCAD. In this instance, 1:1 layouts are printed out and then used to cut solid oak to size. Additional templates for the pockets are also created.
