Do you use AutoCAD?

That's great you have got such a good experience it autocad. I have always interest in autocad but i have not learned it till now. Can you suggest me tutorials where i can learn or for some good books that gives each n every detail about soft.

Hello, serginho! I too used to work in AutoCAD a lot. It's a very easy and intuitive program, especially the 2D part. I used to work in it in the forst 3 years of college. I finished landscape architecture college and at one point, ACAD was no longer enough for my needs. I had a lot of maps and plans to do that were easier to make with GIS programs. As for the 3d part, i use Rhino. It's very user-freindly and has a brilliant way of working with nurbs. What can I say, i like a program that has a command line :) Everyone nowadays uses 3ds Max, though in my opinion it is very unintuitive and hard to learn , especially for someone that hasn't worked in 3d modelling. Unfortunately, since max is used by so many and has been "adopted" by autodesk, it's highly compatible now with all the other autodesk software, like AutoCAD , autodeskMAP, etc. Also many render engines are calibrated for max and get updated faster for max than for other softwares, plus the net is full of 3d models and textures for max, which are reasons enough for one to try and learn the program. It's kind of a little monopoly if you ask me, but then again, if we look at the windows franchise, we notice a certain pattern :) In other words, though i dislike max pretty much, i see myself in need of learning it and ...going back to the roots with autocad for the 2d and even 3d modelling, because the 2 are now so compatible. Not a pleasant thought for me, but ACAD makes it bareable :P As for what you said about working online with this software, I personally haven't found such a thing so far, because it is pretty tempting. Try o-desk, from what i know they have a pretty good data-base and and interesting work-online system. Good luck and if you have an online portfolio, do share, please :D I'm very curious about your work!

Hi serginho: That's great. In my case, I must say that I don't know how to sue it because in my work I don't need to work on graphics. I have tried to explore the program by myself and the result is that I did not understand it so I have never tried to work on it again. ALVARO

Hello, finaly I decided to make a respond to this discussion with deliver to you one extra time safe method to draw in autocad.I think that you already use it but if you not it's time to start.I have mentioned the alias commands. Take a look at this article and to video tutorials about work with them: http://computersight.com/software/autocad/alias-commands-in-autocad/

I use autoCAD from 7 years, when I went to university I started use it. Now I use it very few times cause I'm writing my thesis. Then I'll search for a job where I can use it. I always use another program to draw called Allplan. They are both very good, but the problem is that they cost too much. Some days ago I downloaded Double CAD XT it's similar to Autocad, but it's free. Anyway it's too earl to judge it.

I myself ever learned to use this software to help my friend made a 3D house model , but it's just because I am not so familiar with some tools and some of the commands used, I began to rarely use it. so my friend suggested me to learn 3DMax, which is still a 3D software. but then I had to leave 3DMax, just because my computer specs are very low. and honestly I still want to learn 3D software
