As you will soon see the UCS is very useful when drawing vertical and angled surfaces.
Whenever you provide AutoCAD with a two-dimensional coordinate (x,y) it assumes the z value to be 0. It is a 'virtual drawing board' that can be tilted and rotated.
*The UCS is the most important and versatile tool in AutoCAD. Try experimenting with these tools to get interesting views of your model for rendering. In this mode you can click and drag on the drawing window to move your model.īy clicking and holding the left mouse button down on the orbit tool a drop-down list of further tools are revealed. Click on the Orbit button to change into orbit mode. To create your own customised view (or to just view your model from all over use the orbit tool. *To switch views in Architectural Desktop you can select one of the preset views or create your own. Under the ADT Solids option, you could find the Solids editing toobar useful.
When these are selected not only does the pulldown menu list get longer, but when you on the blank portion of the toobar space (as above) you will have a wider range of options - a set of toobars for each pulldown. In addition, in the menu you will find some useful menu bar items: 3D Solids, Design and Document. Useful (but not essential) toolbars are Object Snap, Views, UCS and 3D Orbit. The button in the pop up window will reveal a range of toobars that can be made readily accessible: 3DOrbit, Dimension, Inquiry etc *For those of you familar with earlier versions of AutoCAD you can bring up the older toolbars by on the blank area beside the toolabrs above the drawing area. Double click on the Architectural Desktop 2006 icon on your desktop to open it. Architectural Desktop 2006 is an enhanced version of AutoCAD 2006. *We will be using Architectural Desktop 2006 for this tutorial. As you get used to the program you will find out which you prefer. *In AutoCAD you can either type in commands or use buttons.

AutoCAD does this work for us by finding all the possible files we might want to revive relating to the doomed drawing. sv$ file, rename it to a drawing file, yadda yadda.

Whether we like it or not - we all know what it's like to have AutoCAD crash on us! Sometimes it is AutoCADs fault, sometimes it's Windows fault and sometimes it's the computer's fault (but it is NEVER our fault!). My computer battery died on the plane yesterday while I was working on AutoCAD 2006 and today when I finally found power I was reminded of another nice feature in the program - the new Drawing Recover feature. Stephen Kieran of KieranTimberlake will be our guest speaker - stay tuned for pics! Today I will be emceeing the Vision Tour event at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology. Some of the architecture in Philadelphia is amazing (did you know that the building they used in Ghostbusters is in Philly? The one with the dogs on top?). Well now I am in Chilly Philly.if I wanted rain I could have stayed home! But I had a chance to have dinner with an old friend of mine which makes enduring the rain all worthwhile.
