What new at AutoCAD 2021

-

AutoCAD 2021 has following new features

  1. Quick mode in Trim and Extend
  2. Quick Measure
  3. Drawing History
  4. Revision Cloud Enhancement
  5. Sync Insert Recent Block
  6. XREF Compare
Now let discus them all one by one

Quick mode in Trim and Extend

Quick mode is not a new feature. We had this feature for years, but now it becomes the default mode. With the quick mode, we don’t need to define boundaries. AutoCAD will automatically use the nearest crossing object as the boundary. And what is nice is now we don’t need to activate F (Fence) to trim/extend multiple lines at once.
Quick Measure
The Quick Measure is introduced in AutoCAD 2020. This command allows us to measure the distance between objects without clicking two points.
This feature is enhanced in AutoCAD 2021. Now we can measure the area and perimeter within a boundary quickly.
Drawing History
Drawing history utilize versioning feature in cloud storage services. AutoCAD has a DWG compare feature for a couple of years now (excluding when it’s still an add-on). But with the integration with Dropbox, OneDrive, and Box, you can directly compare between version. Of course, you need to save the drawings in the cloud storage.
Revision Cloud Enhancement
Revision cloud now can automatically adjust the radius of the revision cloud when you use it for the first time in your file. In the previous version, you need to adjust the radius by yourself.
Sync Insert Recent Block
This feature also works if you integrate AutoCAD with cloud storage Dropbox, OneDrive, or Box.
Now you can sync recent blocks through cloud storage. When you use another computer, AutoCAD mobile app, or AutoCAD web the same block will appear.
XREF Compare
When the XREF file changed, the user will see a pop-up to notify is about the changes. Not only reloading the XREF, now you have an option to compare the changes with your current version of XREF.

Spool Drawing creation in Revit

Yes, Spool Drawing can be created by Revit   There was a time when you need to use Autodesk Fabrication Software for creating spool drawing. That time is over. Now if you have a Revit model & you want to create Spool Drawing from that model them it is also easily possible. For creating spool drawing from Revit Software you need to follow the following steps:  Creating Item No tags for Pipe & Pipe Fitting & Accessories : In spool drawing we need to numbering every items & providing a Bill of Material of the items in a spool sheet. Into the bill of material we need to provide the details information of every item with their item no.     We can't add anything into the schedule until it is a share parameter so we need to create a share parameter for Piece No. After that we need to create a Pipe tag & an Pipe Fitting tag for showing the no value in spool value. For creating Pipe & Pipe Fitting tag we use the share parameter as ...

Adjusting Project North, True North, and Plan Orientation in Revit

-
 How can I make West be Up in my drawings? OR North is Up in my drawings but it’s not  “really” North. What’s the difference between Project North and True North? OR How do I  get my project located to match my survey?   Each Revit project file has its own internal coordinate system which by default is only known  to the project. If your project is a stand-alone, you may be able to live with this internal  system. By default, North is toward the top of the project and truly faces north.  When you first start a project, you should specify the project location using either Internet  Mapping, the nearest major city, or latitude and longitude so that you can generate location- specific shadows if necessary. Note that you can add new cities to the list by editing the file  SiteAndWheatherStationName.txt. (If you don’t have actual survey data, Google the latitude  and longitude for the city you want to add.)  If you’ve started modeling yo...

Source:  https://www.saint-gobain.com/ What is BIM ?     B uilding Information Modeling (BIM) is a 3D model based process which gives Architecture, Engineering Construction professional an insight tool to more efficiently Design, Plan & Manage their Construction Project.In one word we can say Building Information Modeling is process of generating Digital Data for a construction work. Although if I say that BIM is only a 3D model based process then I'm not fully correct. BIM has another three dimension, Time(4D), Cost(5), As Built Operation(6D).

This rapidly increasing population is now turn into a challenge for AEC  professionals. Now they would have to create more buildings more infrastructures,hospitals,industries and other public facilities with more capacity than previous with  a short of t...
