An example of student work has been added to the Advanced InDesign course page.

Low cost CAD software

We have released dCAD, low price CAD with simple to use interface and a command set compatible with AutoCAD.

Interface

We have recently added two new AutoCAD symbol libraries. [Coming soon - a set of symbols for electrical schematic drafting ]

Steel Section Library

All BHP sections (399 of them) as closed polylines in either DXF or .dwg format.

Landscape symbol library.

We have added a symbol library of some 90 plant symbols in AutoCAD/IntelliCAD dwg format. The figure below show some of the symbols in use in IntelliCAD. They can be used in exactly the same manner in the AuoCAD environment.

A group of landscape symbols in the IntelliCAD environment - part of a plan suitable for showing to clients.

Symbols in IntelliCAD

Same plan - layer L-PLNT-SYMBOL turned off and layer L-PLNT-CONSTRUCTION turned on. A view of the same design which is now suitable for a landscape construction team to use (with plant names added of course).

Construction view

Each symbol carries attributes which can be used for data extraction.
