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?

Find Commands by Tabbing

Engineering Technician  Hayden Clarke  sent a tip that helps users of AutoCAD and its verticals to find commands quickly through keyboard entry. "I recently discovered tabbing to find that command that you've been thinking about, but can’t quite remember.

The trick is to type the first few letters you know, then press the Tab button. This will cycle through all the commands beginning with the letters you inputted. When you find the one you're looking for, simply press Enter.
