    SW vs Inventor

    First, I'm a Senior Design Engineer with an interesting CAD background. I was "born and raised" on Autodesk products from 1983, when AutoCAD was less than one year old! For many years, I was a CAD manager who managed over 100 users of AutoCAD at a time. I've trained countless users...

    LISP ROUTINES FOR CNC PROGRAMMING

    I wrote a lisp program about ten years ago for translating polylines into CNC code for a laser cutter. Each polyline was used as an "engaged" path. A "non-engaged" move would be the translation from the end of one polyline to the beginning of the next. If this is of...

    I assume Express Tools are new with AutoCAD 2000i or 2002. I forgot to mention that I'm entrenched in R14. Is it possible to access these "Express Tools" from R14? Thanks, Tim Luxon

    AutoCAD 2D support in SWX

    I appreciate such prompt feedback to this thread. I was previously at a small medical device design and manufacturing company just prior to my present position. I was successful at converting everybody over to SolidWorks from AutoCAD in about one year. I simply did as "swertel&quot...

    AutoCAD 2D support in SWX

    I was an AutoCAD network administrator from 1984 to 1996 when I started using SolidWorks. SolidWorks drawings are slowly but surely adapting many of the features that AutoCAD drawings have, such as layer names, blocks, etc. SolidWorks even seems to suggest that we don't need AutoCAD anymore to...
