What is a DAO and why does it matter to AEC?

-
Introduction Blockchain technology has revolutionized many industries worldwide, and the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is no exception. A significant innovation in this context is the DAO, which is a "Decentralized Autonomous Organization". A DAO is a blockchain-based organizational structure that operates decentralised, enabling transparent and collaborative decision-making and facilitating participatory governance. In this article, we'll explore what exactly a DAO is and why it's relevant and important to the AEC industry. What is a DAO?

New added font is not in the default of AutoCAD. 4. Overlaid lines with the same color in one location. Use "Overkill" command. Overkill removes duplicate geometry as well as overlapping lines, arcs, and polylines. Also, combines partially overlapping or contiguous ones. 5. A file contains too much or excess scale. This problem limited to AutoCAD 2008 and 2009 version. Solution: Download Scale List Cleanup Utility. This utility repairs a problem with files that contain excess scales.
