ACADUI Posted yesterday at 06:01 AM Posted yesterday at 06:01 AM Hi I am a retired architect with about 40 years professional practice, 30 of which have been focused on AutoCAD as a senior CAD technician and CAD manager in a large office and as a tertiary level teacher of architectural technology and building including a few years teaching AutoCAD at TAFE and QUT. I am wondering whether some of the work I have done developing CAD drawing strategies and support programs might be useful to help AutoCAD users both at beginner level and advanced 2D drafting. What I have to offer will be best explained on my website mycadhelper.com that I have recently been reviewing as a retirement hobby. There are several topics/pages that describe philosophies for the creation of command-aliases, reduction in command-entry-keystrokes, expanded command functionality, a practical automated layer-naming-standard-and-management system allowing coincident-overlay-drafting that focuses on production drawing work-zones. The most obvious aspect of MycadHELPER and its entry point is its clean-screen and keyboard-only input of commands and data supported by its custom carefully designed system of command aliases. I would be interested if anyone, after visiting my website, wishes to use some of my suggestions or even help in polishing it up. mycadhelper.com Quote
BIGAL Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago (edited) Welcome aboard looks very interesting had a look at the link. Where I used to work we used POP menu's extensively as well as custom commands, This menu had around 130 lisps behind it. I read about workspaces and yes we would save a workspace under each users name, so it was customised to their liking. One thing I did was add a pop menu that had options from another workspace we had CIV3D, so no need to even change workspaces for some often used commands. Then of course there was custom toolbars, if you can use Notepad you can make toolbars and pop menu's. You may be interested in the attached.
