<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; line-height: 107%;">Well today is not Tuesday and based on my previous post I
would say I am 3 days late for this AutoCAD tip. Well better late than never,
so let’s get started.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">I
had some issues this week with importing a CAD detail into Revit. Revit gave an
error that the detail was way outside the import region. After a few tests I
quickly realized that the issue was with the detail not being anywhere close to
AutoCAD’s absolute 0,0,0 coordinates.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">AutoCAD
by default on install has the coordinates set to relative and this prompted me
to make this video. Have you ever been stuck attempting to move objects within
AutoCAD to absolute 0,0 only to find that the object stayed in place? Well that
is because relative coordinates are set by default. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">In
this video below I show a quick way to move objects from relative coordinates
to absolute 0,0,0 when relative is still set in the settings. I will also show
you how to change relative coordinates setting as default back to absolute.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Now
if that last sentence did not make any sense please watch the video I think I
did a better job explaining in the video. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">In this video we explore a couple ways to speed up template development by leveraging place holder sheets from a sheet list, or re-using an existing sheet list from an existing project file.</span><br />

React Structures is being designed to be a powerful yet easy to use structural analysis offering for structural engineers. The application is available today <a href="https://beta.autodesk.com/callout/?callid={31183BF7-985A-41BD-997E-E25C86150FCD}" target="_blank">free as a technical preview</a>.

I guess time will tell but for now you can join the technology preview, download, test and see for yourself.

Well Autodesk has launched a website to do just that. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">view 2D and 3D designs in over 50 file formats. I tested the site today with some large Revit models and my browser handled the viewing just fine. Actually my models loaded quicker than when I place them into A360 for viewing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You have the ability to turn on and off layers / categories, view sheets and 3d views for Revit models. Even explode your model if you wish. Many more features available I suggest you check them out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In this video I show you how to open Fabrication CADmep within AutoCAD. CADmep is suppose to open AutoCAD upon launch, however mine keeps freezing up. So I go into AutoCAD first and than launch Fabrication CADmep using the "TakeOff" command. See short video attached.</span></div>
