Land Development Desktop is a pretty powerful Civil Software...we use it where I work at pretty much...yeah, and like Tom Church mentioned...we do get Cadd Files from different Architectural Firms mainly for the Slab info and Footprints, and those suckers are almost always in outer space somewhere with a totally diferent coordinate system...

It's like they say, if you have to give it away it's probably not worth having.

Anyone have experience with Autocad 2006 or Architectural Desktop 2006? My office will be upgrading very soon, and I wanted to know if its much different from ADT 2005? Any new bugs to look forward to? Any cool features? Thanks!!
BTW.. Some of the demos that the big CAD companies offer are fully functional except for save and print, but have no imbedded ads or anything weird..

Word is that AutoCAD 2006 will be the first in a series of steps to phase out the command line It'll be there but not like what we know and love. Tom

If I can't convert it to G-Code it's of little use to me. I'm new to CNC so maybe there's something I can do with an STL file, but I've never heard of it. I guess after I retire I'll have to write my own open source 3-D modeler that exports directly to G-Code. Doesn't seem like it should be that hard;) One of my buddies I went to school with works for a company that makes F-16 components. They have huge 150ft bed CNC mills. They use a 3D CAD program called Cativa (it may use a plug in program also)which writes all the code the CNC mills. It also shows you on screen whats being milled and with what tool. Its a very interesting program.

TomI'm on AutoCAD 2006 and I still use the command line. There is a new feature in 2006 called "DYN" that is next to OSNAP and OTRACK at the bottom. If you turn that off (like I do), everything's like normal and the way it's always been. If you turn it on, it's a new way to draw where the command line is practically pointless. I swear, they are out of things to add and improve. Instead of fixing all of the bugs, they're trying to fix things that aren't broken. :rolleyes:

Got the email regarding early release, etc.. It should be fun to play with.. I cant believe they ad advertisements and an internet connection is required for use..screwed up.. I wonder if there will be a crack to remove that. If you turn it on, it's a new way to draw where the command line is practically pointless. Oh man.. Some of the older architects at my office will be pissed if they phase out the command prompt..Its going to be interesting.. Thanks for the headsup..

I saw that too... I wonder how many people will actually download it now that they realize how it's gonna be. I'm not gonna bother with it, that's for sure.

I don't use it, but support it, network license manager etc. for my office. We have had a lot less calls in regards to it over 2005 which was a buggy mess. Just my experience.
