10 Little Known Facts About Autodesk and AutoCAD

  1. AutoCAD 2.5, released in June 1986, was the first version in the US and Canada to require a hardware lock. Responding to user complaints, Autodesk sent all customers AutoCAD 2.52, which removed the lock.
  2. The program that became AutoCAD was created by Mike Riddle, and was originally called " Interact". Its name was changed to " microCAD," but when another company had already created a program with that same name, it was renamed " AutoCAD".
  3. The company we now know as Autodesk was founded by 17 friends and acquaintances in John Walker's home in Mill Valley, CA, who pooled $59,000 to fund the startup. Today, Autodesk has a market capitalization of nearly $13 billion.
  4. The company Autodesk was originally named Marin Software Partners, a partnership among the 17 founders.
  5. Did you know that many AutoCAD releases had code-names? Although AutoCAD Release 9 was often referred to as " The White Album" (after the Beatles double album that included the song Revolution 9.) 
  6. One of the company's first products was a filing program called "Cardfile". First shown at the 6th West Coast Computer Faire, it was renamed "the Autodesk". By then, the company was calling itself Desktop Solutions, but when the founders filed paperwork to become a California corporation, they changed the company name to Autodesk.
  7. In the fall of 1982, the most popular version of AutoCAD was one that ran on the Victor 9000 computer.

  8. Desktop Solutions paid $1,200 for its booth at the 6th West Coast Computer Faire (March 1982), perhaps the best marketing investment ever made by a company in the software industry.
  9. AutoCAD 2009 marked a major milestone with the introduction of the ribbon interface, the InfoCenter, Quick Properties, the ViewCube and Steering wheels, the Action Recorder and a modeless layer Manager.
  10. AutoCAD R13 as the most hated release of AutoCAD when first introduced in November 1994. It was so buggy that the company soon shipped the first in a series of incremental updates in an attempt to quash the problems.

Revit Tip: How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam

How to Slope Horizontal Steel Beam (with images) Issue: You have an existing beam that has a level as its work plane. You want to set its work plane to be a sloped reference plane, but only the reference planes or levels parallel to the beam are available when you edit the beam. Solution: To make the existing steel beam align with a sloped reference plane. Open an elevation or section view of the beam. Draw a reference plane parallel to the beam/slab using the Reference Plane tool on the Basics tab of the Design bar and name it by editing the reference plane properties. Select the beam. Click Edit Work Plane on the Options bar. Select Name and select the reference plane that you just created from the drop-down menu and then click OK. Draw a sloped reference plane using the Reference Plane tool and name it. Click Align to align the horizontal reference plane to the sloped reference plane. That's it. Bottom-line: After you made it, you ca

The Top 10 Best Things You Can Do In Revit

Use a project file standard template for your projects. This template can be an RVT file with worksets or an RTE file without worksets. Any custom and repetitive element showing more than one view on your sheets should be a 2d or 3d family. These elements take ups less memory space than in place families and are easier to manipulate and store in your Revit library for future projects. Always utilize the 4 steps process of creating families. (a. Create reference planes b. Dimension assign parameters and flex. c. Create extrusion, align lock to reference planes, d. Assign materials, visibility options and flex parameters). Use titleblock sheet templates with parameters. Draw details with details components and filled/masking regions to minimize loose linework and easier revising or editing. Open and audit projects weekly. Keep project file size under 200mb for maximum sync to central speed, reduced network latency and better file performance. Prepare your cad dwg file befor
