You can also use plain AutoCAD (I think back to version 2014 and higher) - use ReCap to index the point cloud and then load the result into AutoCAD. Vladimir Michl, www.cadstudio.cz www.cadforum.cz

In the dynamic mode, typed coordinates are considered "relative". A relative "0,0" means "the same point". See also: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=5885 Vladimir Michl

There is a ListInspection macro (free) for Inventor: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/list-of-inspection-dimensions-in-the-inventor-drawing-tip7042 Vladimir Michl, www.cadstudio.cz

You can use our 2DPlot utility to automate plotting of parametric 2D curves (and 3DPlot for 3D surfaces). See: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/sinusoid-hypotrochoid-guilloche-and-parametric-curves-in-autocad-tip8884 Vladimir Michl, www.cadstudio.cz

AutoCAD R14 to Autodesk Inventor seems to be more natural - same vendor, same drawing file format, maybe same reseller. Autodesk Product Design Suite contain both AutoCAD and Inventor, plus other useful design tools and cloud services.

I understand the ribbon-fobia, there are many AutoCAD-clones that do not have a ribbon-interface yet (but they will probably have it in future). The DWG Trueview conversion function offers batch operation - just click the Convert button, no need to Save separately. As for DraftSight or other...

How different is the download+install of the official converter Autodesk DWG Trueview from other Windows applications? Click to download, setup.exe to install. Please note that DraftSight and any other non-Autodesk software does not create a standard, genuine DWG file format. Some drawing...

You can try e.g. JTB FlexReport LT (free): http://www.jtbworld.com/jtbflexreport/jtbflexreportlt.htm Vůadimir Michl, www.cadstudio.cz www.cadforum.cz

Some of these apps even work inside a web browser or on mobile devices (tablets). Vladimir Michl, http://www.cadforum.cz

Hundreds of mechanical DWG blocks are available at: http://www.cadforum.cz/catalog_en/?cat=1 Vladimir Michl - http://www.cadstudio.cz

You can set another font for the default text style (see the STYLE command) but please note that the linetypes refer styles, not fonts. Vladimir Michl, http://www.cadstudio.cz

It is a compiled LSP (VLX). Just load it like a LSP file - with APPLOAD or with mouse drag-b-drop. No, it doesn't use Meshsmooth. Vladimir Michl, http://www.cadstudio.cz http://www.cadforum.cz

You can use the free Sol2Mesh utility and its command Sol2Faces - see http://www.cadstudio.cz/download Vladimir Michl, http://www.cadforum.cz

Yes, I know. But AutoCAD can assign the same material (texture) to an object - and you can copy it from the above mentioned sample block.

You can use _any_ font which contains full Unicode set of characters/symbols. The symbol codes will be the same. Many TrueType fonts (e.g. Arial Unicode) contains these symbols. See e.g. the related tip: http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/dotted-and-arrow-linetypes-tip7481 Vladimir Michl...
