Autocad Russian

[Malcolm Lozada]

Ive been out of the field for a decade, and have no experience in REVIT. I've down loaded it but I can't wait 6 months to a year to get back to earning an income. Every add I see, and every firm I'm interested in had a requirement for several years proficiency in Revit , I really want to find a way around that, short of lying.

A partner from Foster & Partners did a seminar/talk in a course I attended last year and she said that they still use AutoCAD, particularly for construction drawings. She's in the computational design group, and even if they use BIM and coding to model the buildings, simulate the utilities and etc, they still turn to AutoCAD for the 2D representation.

Fake it until you make it, do all the REVIT tutorials you can find and truly invest your time in it and more. If you know how to put a building together in CAD you can learn how to do it via BIM too, it's just a piece of software.

Same boat as manta: we do about half Revit, half AutoCAD, but are transitioning to fully Revit over the next 6 months to a year or so. You can find a job in a firm that is in the same situation, I am confident!

Yup AutoCAD. If you're a capable architect, then that is more important. That being said, understanding how software works is helpful in directing the work to be done by the staff, as well as anticipate where the time will be spent. As for knowing the software, nothing replaces experience using it for a real project. If you understand how the software works, then it should be easier to pick up the day-to-day use.

This thread made me think of the time my co workers and I made a physical model of a simple building, took a bunch of photos, added them as background in vectorworks, and annotated them to produce the construction 'drawings.' Hilarious but functional!

If you are not on the Revit bus yet, and feel like it may benefit you professionally to get on board- take a class at your local community college. Its relatively inexpensive, and because it is spread over a 'semester', it gives your brain a lot of time to stew in those tasty parametric juices. As a plus, you have an instructor and fellow students to help with questions.

I work for a large office and it's getting harder to find junior staff who know AutoCAD. Revit-only people are a dime-a-dozen - the valuable people are those who are comfortable in a lot of different software.

Revit is not hard to pick up if you know CAD and have some 3D software experience. It takes a little while to wrap your head around all the functionality because of the clunky UI. Really - just remind yourself that it's an imperfect piece of software, and if you're fighting with it, just get someone else to either help or figure it out for you.

The best thing about revit is it is a great for screening out the software architect job openings in your search. otherwise I'd learn as best you can and be honest about your experience level. There is a lot more to architecture than moving a mouse weather it is revit or autocad. I'd say autocad is by far the more important tool

We're looking for two techs right now and I have the feeling that finding competent techs with Revit experience is going to be difficult. We're about to hire a senior tech with no Revit, because he can also do CA and be a mentor to the younger staff. It's not all about hard skills.

I know as a structural consultant we are client driven, so what the client wants and the client gets. And to be honest I am not going to do a sketch for a fire damage report for an insurance company in Revit.

AutoCAD (Computer-Aided Design) is a two-dimensional and three-dimensional computer-aided design and drafting system from Autodesk. AutoCAD is one of the most common CAD systems in the world thanks to drawing tools.

The popularity of AutoCAD in the world is due to very advanced development tools and adaptations that allow you to create specialized applications such as AutoCAD Mechanical, AutoCAD Electrіc, AutoCAD Architecture, GeoniCS, Promis-e, PLANT-4D, AutoPLANT, SPDS GraphiCS, MechaniCS and others. There are more than 10,000 commercial AutoCAD-based products worldwide.

Action Macros first appeared in AutoCAD 2009. The user executes a sequence of commands that is recorded using the Action Recorder tool. You can edit and save the recorded macro, and then transfer it to the toolbar, or run it from a special menu.

The user has the ability to create his own buttons with which you can call a series of commands (macros) recorded in advance according to certain rules. Macros can include expressions written in DIESEL and AutoLISP.

DIESEL (Direct Interprietively Evaluated String Expression Language) is a string operating language with a small number of functions (a total of 28 functions). It allows you to form lines that must have variable text that depends on any conditions. The result is displayed as a string that AutoCAD interprets as a command. DIESEL is used mainly to create complex macros as an alternative to AutoLISP. This language is of particular importance for the version of AutoCAD LT that lacks all programming tools except DIESEL. DIESEL first appeared in AutoCAD R12.

Visual LISP is an AutoLISP application development environment. Sometimes, Visual LISP refers to the AutoLISP language supplemented by ActiveX extensions. The Visual LISP development environment has been built into AutoCAD since AutoCAD 2000. Previously (AutoCAD R14), it was shipped separately. The development environment contains the AutoLISP language and the DCL language, and also allows you to create applications consisting of several programs. Despite the name, Visual LISP is not a visual programming environment.

AutoLISP is a dialect of the Lisp language that provides ample opportunities for automating work in AutoCAD. AutoLISP is the oldest of the internal AutoCAD programming languages, first appearing in 1986 in AutoCAD 2.18 (intermediate version). In AutoLISP, close interaction with the command line is implemented, which contributed to its popularization among engineers working with AutoCAD.

ActiveX extensions significantly increase the functionality of AutoLISP, add the ability to work with files, the registry, and the ability to communicate with other applications. Additional extensions work directly with the AutoCAD object model through ActiveX features. ActiveX technology was first introduced in AutoCAD R14.

DCL (Dialog Control Language) is a language for developing dialog boxes for applications written in AutoLISP. DCL was first introduced in AutoCAD R12 and has not changed significantly since then. Visual programming is not used to develop dialog boxes and the ability to create dialog boxes is significantly limited. To eliminate these shortcomings and expand the capabilities of AutoLISP, third-party developers have created alternative environments for developing dialog boxes, such as ObjectDCL, OpenDCL and some others.

AutoCAD has introduced VBA (Visual Basic for Application) support since R14. Unlike VisualLISP, VBA is a visual programming environment, but VBA applications work with AutoCAD only through ActiveX, and interaction with AutoLISP is very limited. The advantages of VBA are more complete support for ActiveX and the ability to load DLLs.

ObjectARX SDK is an add-on to the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment and contains special libraries, header files, examples, and support tools designed to create programs that run exclusively in AutoCAD. ARX applications can directly access the drawing database and the geometric kernel. You can create your own commands, similar to standard AutoCAD commands. For the first time, the ObjectARX package was implemented for AutoCAD R13, previously there were similar-purpose ADS packages (for AutoCAD R11) and ARX (for AutoCAD R12). The ObjectARX version number is the same as the AutoCAD version number for which this package is intended. Programs created for one specific version of AutoCAD are incompatible with other versions. The compatibility problem is usually solved by recompiling the program in the corresponding version of ObjectARX.

AutoCAD LT is a specialized 2D drawing solution. It is cheaper than the full version of AutoCAD (the cost of the LT version is about half the cost of the full version). AutoCAD LT lacks 3D modeling tools (however, it remains possible to view 3D models made in other systems) and system adaptation software (such as AutoLISP and VBA).A complete list of differences can be found on the website www.Autodesk.ru.

On April 18, 2024, it became known that the American company Autodesk began to block the access of Russian users to its AutoCAD computer-aided design system. Moreover, we are talking, among other things, about pirated versions of the program.

According to the Kommersant newspaper, the blocking affects the accounts of devices that are connected to the Internet. When you try to run the product on these computers, you receive a message that reads: "Autodesk has detected an invalid license and has blocked access to it." The restriction affects both licensed and compromised modifications of AutoCAD.

It is noted that when you disable Internet access, AutoCAD starts, but using the system in this mode "creates inconvenience for the workflow." In addition, users of the platform in Russia will no longer be able to receive updates. The head of "Philosopher" Ivan Vlasov emphasizes that "the problem is massive."

Market participants believe that blocking AutoCAD in the Russian Federation can lead to disruptions in the timing of construction projects and financial losses. Renat Lashin, executive director of the Domestic Software Software Developers Association, says that Autodesk products in Russia account for 40-50% of profile software in the construction segment as of April 2024. Thus, restricting access to AutoCAD can negatively affect the work of many companies.

On the other hand, says Lashin, most domestic counterparts support 100 percent compatibility of the format with AutoCAD, have a similar set of commands and a similar interface. And therefore, in his opinion, there should be no difficulties with import substitution of Autodesk products. The Russian alternatives are Compass Graphics and nanoCAD.[1]
