FEATURED THIS MONTH
AutoCAD Automation
We start off the new year by introducing some magic into the AutoCAD world! For many of us, AutoCAD is a fancy electronic drawing board, albeit a pretty good one. But of course, there is a huge amount of power in today’s computers that can be harnessed in the form of automated drawing processes. Ian Barnard will show us a drawing template he has created in AutoCAD that partially automates the creation of a drawing. The template uses tool palettes and blocks, and produces the design for fitting towbars and coupling systems to different models of trucks. This is a fantastic opportunity to see how drawings can be produced using information that has been provided by a client in the form of basic spreadsheets and lists of dimensions.
And, of course…
Lots of Discussion of Interesting Stuff!
“Round table” discussions of any AutoCAD problems you might have (and hopefully the solutions!) plus the usual News, AutoCAD Tips and friendly chat about whatever we find interesting.
Bring along your USB memory keys etc. and you can get a copy of some of the items demonstrated.
All Welcome!
As usual, wonderful food and drinks will be provided by George, along with the opportunity to meet up with fellow AutoCAD users.
