I've come to think about pouring a little bit of humor on this blog by putting a post about something weird and funny things going around relating to CAD tools and softwares. There's a lot of things that I've found but I have to shortlist it before posting it here. Here the two most weird and funny things that I have found.<br />
<br />
The first one was kind of <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="204938edf59eb8e510edb449f1bbd9a809b7ca4d" grtype="null" id="GRmark_90c4da0db37476de32d8c0c8a40516fc13519ca2_old:0">old</span> since I have already seen this image long before I start blogging. It's about a screen capture of AutoCAD release 14 having these weird pull down menus (as seen in fig<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="439a8bc43b642c0d9e6e6fefb70edd0d6c7beaed" grtype="null" id="GRmark_439a8bc43b642c0d9e6e6fefb70edd0d6c7beaed_.:0">.</span>01 below).<br />

Well I have to say that most of these commands, what I like most are "Ctrl+Y" and "Ctrl+I". Okay, come on! You're not going to judge me because of that right? Just kidding. What's yours?</div>

I did forget one tip that will have you quickly memorize AutoCAD commands and that is by having those commands which are hard to remember on your body parts. Yes, you heard me right.

This post came from <a href="http://bmezine.com/">bmezine.com</a>. If you've done this one then you might not forget these commands your whole life. I'm wondering if there would be a chance that I would've done this a long time ago. What commands would it be? Hmmm.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How about you? What commands are going to have and which body part are they going to be? You can post your comments and suggestion below or hit us on <a href="http://goo.gl/loCYH" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or on <a href="http://goo.gl/ugbeX" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. Until then.</div>

The latest update for AutoCAD WS just came out and one of the features that all of its users should watch out is the new Design feed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.autocadws.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DF_Resolve011.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://www.autocadws.com/tutorials/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DF_Resolve011.png" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
Now for those who haven't seen it or used AutoCAD WS yet. It is a web app <a href="http://webtrends.about.com/od/webapplications/a/web_application.htm">(what's a web app?)</a> that lets you view and edit DWG files without any CAD software installed on your machine. So it means that you always can view and edit your drawings whenever you have access <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="00d3c2935fd5ecddf62bb90c720a0c0191969671" grtype="null" id="GRmark_00d3c2935fd5ecddf62bb90c720a0c0191969671_on:0">to</span> the file and the internet. I know, you got the idea right? If you like to get on its official website it is located at <a href="http://www.autocadws.com/">www.autocadws.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Autodesk released the next version of AutoCAD WS Mobile release 1.5. It has a new feature called Design Feed which is a mechanism for context-specific posts (like on social networking sites) that allow real time and asynchronous collaboration from within the drawing file. It is located on the right side of the screen that looks like a thread of comments wherein designers could add a post and tag involved people on the projcect. Yes, they have taken the best things about the social networking website and infused them into the design process. They recognized the need to provide tools that help us collaborate with our team on our own time in an intuitive and streamlined way. These people could then receive an email letting them know about the latest information about the project and then they could open a link to that file and see what's going on. For more details see video below.<br />

Now, on recent To get the most out of the new online Help system, you will need to be connected to the Internet. If you cannot be connected to the Internet, you should switch to and use the locally installed files. These files for the most part look and feel like their online counterpart. To switch between the locally installed or online help files, do the following:<br />
<br />
On the command line of AutoCAD, type "Options" (without quotes). Make sure no command is active before doing this. In the Options dialog box, click the System tab (shown <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="8b8ea72d1e65f70766991e2f3eb777cb2db9220e" grtype="null" id="GRmark_8b8ea72d1e65f70766991e2f3eb777cb2db9220e_on:0">on</span> Figure 1 below). Under the Help section, clear "Access online content (including Help) when available" if you want to use the locally installed files. All online connectivity is disabled, unless you click an external link which will load a requested page.<br />

I couldn't let that <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="0f1115f5ebd7be52ef99de23f59966f49013601d" grtype="null" id="GRmark_0f1115f5ebd7be52ef99de23f59966f49013601d_Autocad:0">Autocad</span> user manual far from where my <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="0f1115f5ebd7be52ef99de23f59966f49013601d" grtype="null" id="GRmark_0f1115f5ebd7be52ef99de23f59966f49013601d_station:1">station</span> is.

For those times I remember writing most of those commands on a "<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="75845c703bed39c730be4abf09bfb520a7043019" grtype="null" id="GRmark_75845c703bed39c730be4abf09bfb520a7043019_post-it:0">post-it</span>" and stick it on to the frame of my monitor. For multiple step commands, I wrote the steps on a small notepad which is always <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="1e615e0fd493367803a3e2911eabaa1689d2adeb" grtype="null" id="GRmark_1e615e0fd493367803a3e2911eabaa1689d2adeb_sit:0">sit</span> next to my keyboard for easy access whenever I need it.

Recently, on AutoCAD 2012. There is a new feature called Automatic Command Line Completion (see image Figure 1 below) wherein you type the first to three letters of the command that you have in mind and AutoCAD gives you a list of valid choices displayed from which you can choose and complete the command for you. I will discuss this more <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="4119237ac965d8e6e5c647fde9a0d89dd7f9ecba" grtype="null" id="GRmark_4119237ac965d8e6e5c647fde9a0d89dd7f9ecba_on:0">on</span> the next post.<br />

Like any other certification programs available out there. Autodesk recommends that a candidate should experience an actual hands on training of the product that they chose and be able to apply their skill learned. There should be AutoCAD course or equivalent plus 100 hours of hands on training if you are taking the Associate certification and an AutoCAD course or equivalent plus 400 hours of hands on training if you opt Professional certification. Either way Associate certification should be taken first before upgrading up to Professional certification. More specific information could be found on my last blog <a href="http://howtocad.blogspot.com/2010/03/are-you-certified-well-dont-be-last-to.html">(Autodesk Associate/Professional Certification)</a> or at <a href="http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=14238652&siteID=123112">Autodesk website</a>.<br />
<br />
Below are the specific Autodesk products that offer certification.<br />
<br />
AutoCAD <br />
AutoCAD Civil 3D <br />
Autodesk 3ds Max <br />
Autodesk Inventor <br />
Autodesk Revit Architecture <br />
Autodesk Maya <br />
<br />
Road maps for each of these products could be found at <a href="http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=17208050">http://usa.autodesk.com</a>.<br />
<br />
For those who have experience using the product and chooses to take certification right away. You can contact Autodesk Training Center (ATC) near you or use the <a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/"></a><a href="http://autodesk.starttest.com/">Autodesk center search</a> tool to find one.<br />

<br />
For those who don't have the experience yet but would like to be certified. First, you need to familiarize yourself with the software by using it. The good news is Autodesk offers <a href="http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=download_center">free downloads</a> of these software products. The only limitation is you could have it used for thirty (30) days only. Enough for you to practice and be familiar with it and apply for the Associate certification.<br />
