CAD Corner News

Hey all! I'm glad that you are all continuing to visit the site and download all of the blocks and details that you need. I have ot admit that I have been a bit of a slacker. I am getting married in 2 1/2 weeks so bear with me. After the wedding and the honeymoon (Cuba here I come!) I will be updating the website more often. Until then I'm going to try to drop a few tips and tricks onto this page so check back whenever you can for some of the latest tips and tricks for AutoCAD 2008!

Due to the abnormal number of spambots and the low use of the CAD Corner forum I decided to remove it from the website. If I find that people are requesting the forum to be reposted I will do this but until these requests are made then I'm afraid that the website will be limited to the tutorials and the block and detail downloads. To make a request for the forum please feel free to email me.

We will be continuing with the publishing tutorials and expanding on our first AutoCAD tutorial, teaching more about AutoCAD commands and utilities. Writing these tutorials takes time so please bear with us as we, here at CAD Corner, continue with the tutorials.

CAD Corner's Treat of the Month

From this day forward you will be able to find a special feature here in the "CAD Corner's Treat of the Month" section. It will be something different every month and it may even be done by you! This is you chance to have your name published on the internet, right here on this page. Email me to submit your "CAD Corner's Treat of the Month". It can be anything that could be of any use to any type of drafting position. Whether it's a spreadsheet, a lisp routine or even just a CAD detail. When submitting these entries please supply us with a brief description of what your "CAD Corner Treat of the Month" is and how it works (if it is a functional resource). These entries will be judged by that administration of CAD Corner.

This month's CAD Corner treat is...Steel.rar.

This is a great lisp routine for anyone that works with structural steel or with architecture where you want each and every structural entity to scale. Comes with an easy to use dialog box. Just type in "SS" and that begins the command (Once it's loaded into autocad of course!). To load this lisp routine first off extract the rar file to a place on your computer (for this example we will extract the rar file to "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2007\steel"). First off we have to set AutoCAD up so that it has this folder in it's search path. To do this open up AutoCAD and type in "options" at the command prompt. This will open your options dialogue box, go to the "Files" tab and select "Support File Search Path". Now on the right hand side of the Options window click on "Add..." and then click on the "Browse..." button and then browse to the location that you extracted the steel.rar file to (in this example "C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2007\steel") and click "Ok". Now that you have all of that done and you click "Ok" we have set AutoCAD up so that it loads the Lisp routine everytime that you open AutoCAD. At the command prompt type in "appload". This will bring up the "Load/Unload Applications" window. In the bottom right side of the window you will see a small box that says "Startup Suite", click on the "Contents" button. Browse to C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2007\steel and double click on steel.lsp. Click on "Ok" in the "Load/Unload Applications" window, and you're ready to go. Just type in "ss" to start the steel lisp routine and away you go.

Hope this helps you out!

Previous CAD Corner treat is...Beam Converter.xls.

This excel program allows you to select a structural steel member from the list and it will give you all of the dimensional information for that member. It will even tell you what both the metric and imperial sizes are. There is also a hyperlink at the bottom of the table that will take you to a fully dimensioned diagram of the member.

We, at CAD Corner, hope that you find this Excel spreadsheet useful and share it with others.
