PowerPoint

[CADTutor]

Just as a matter of interest, is anyone round here using PowerPoint for presenting their work?

Not really. I did some at last job with a university's Facilities Planning department. I would usually export to a .wmf and then insert into PowerPoint.

I used to use it for school presentations. Since about a year I use html files for presentations, much easier to change stuff and no standard Microsoft clipgallery anymore. Just open Iexplore and make it fullscreen, works really good... 8)

I went to html as well. I would make .dwf of the CAD files and then have hyperlinks on the .dwf file to go to different pages.
One example that worked..
Had a site plan of the university and had each building as a hyperlink to another page with text, pictures and floorplans. Worked really well.

hi There

i have used PowerPoint for a presentation that turned out quite well
my Son's Mom walked me thru this and with her help it worked great.

PP can create a SlideShow that can incorporate:

Stills, Animations and 3d Panoramics (not sure exactly how) 360 twirl arounds

i am trying to get her to designate some of her Time to this Forum for PP
she is quite the Expert on this subject (which i know almost nothing about)

Thanks

I have a digital projector and use it and powerpoint to help teach

- Board tech drawing

- Design

- 2D CAD

- 3D CAD

- Image editing and illustration

It's like an electronic blackboard. Really good for showing complex
editing procedures like altering UCS in Acad etc

I use Autocad first to make 3D models. Then I make import in 3Dstudio, making animations. The PowerPoint is an easy way to make complex presentation, with images, movies, logos, sounds ... I think it’s great! I am building my web page, when it will be ready, maybe I will insert here a link to an example.

It is possible to turn a Power Point presentation in an exe file? I created a huge presentation containing about 20 ppt files, interconnected by links (buttons) so the speaker may dynamically change the order, according to the interest of the public. But if I go to a customer with my presentation, and it is no Power Point on that computer?
I am using PP 97.

Vizwhiz that sounds great. Can you find out the way to create this "3D panoramics"and tell as more about?

Mostly, they work with QuickTime and so far I haven't found a way to embed QuickTime movies within PowerPoint Slides. You can link to them and have QT fire up automatically but if anyone has discovered a slicker method I'd love to hear it.
