![]() ![]() ![]() It's something like working in Paperspace, without the complications of setting up viewports, etc.ĪutoCAD has extra power for large groups working on large projects, but the added complexity that comes from this power often makes doing simple drawings more cumbersome than it needs to be.įlyingal, be sure that scale factors in your dimension definitions are all set to 1, and that units are consistant (there are many places to accidently change these without realizing it). Lettering, dimension arrows, etc., are real-world size, so you don't have to change styles and letter heights. The main difference is that the scale is set when you start drawing, rather than when you plot. When drawing to scale, you still draw full size, but the computer keeps track of the scale. When I am drawing in CAD, I have always thought in full size, whether the program uses a full size model, like Generic CAD or AutoCAD, or is prescaled like PowerCADD. I have been using AutoCAD in my present job for just over a year, and also use Visual CADD (a Windows version of Generic CAD) when I want to draw something quickly. In my last job I used PowerCADD for 4 years. I learned CADD using Generic CAD, just before Autodesk bought it and ran it into the ground. ![]()
