Autodesk University 2017 Video: AutoCAD Productivity

Martin Phelps’ presentation is targeted squarely at the technical drafter. Here, you’ll learn examples of drawing tools to aid the production of technical drawings. He also covers: “Simple changes that may be made to the user interface to aid technical drawing production; overlooked time saving sub functions of useful daily used commands; and using blocks and dynamic blocks.”

KEY LEARNING

  • Simple changes that may be made to the user interface to aid technical drawing production.
  • Overlooked time saving sub functions of useful daily used commands
  • Using Blocks and Dynamic Blocks
  • Creating working with, and customising pallets.

THEY’RE HERE!!!! Tabs and Multi-Monitor Support are here in Revit 2019!!!!

THEY’RE HERE!!!! Tabs and Multi-Monitor Support are here in Revit 2019!!!!

If the title of this tech topic got your attention, you are one of the many Revit users that have been struggling using multiple monitors while working on a Revit project.

We’ve seen the beauty of drawing tabs for quite a few releases in AutoCAD and now we get them in Revit.

Not only do tabs make switching views in Revit a breeze, we can now drag multiple views to another monitor, dock them, maximize them, cycle through them using Ctrl+Tab, and even tile them!!!

This is an addition that we’ve been waiting for!!! Thank you Autodesk!!! Click on the image below to see a short video from Autodesk demonstrating Multi-Monitor Support in Revit 2019.

ARCHIBUS Space Occupancy and Internet of Things (IoT)

ARCHIBUS Space Occupancy and Internet of Things (IoT)

If you track occupancy level in your organization, with or without ARCHIBUS, you know the difficulty to achieve and maintain accurate occupancy metrics. Monitoring occupancy in many cases is a manual work, verified by floor surveys, which is an endless battle in a sizable facility.

ARCHIBUS IoT Add-On Solution can automate the manual survey-based occupancy tracking to monitor a real-time Space utilization, by importing data from Sensors (motion, infra-red and optical) and providing analysis and reporting. The real time utilization values can be compared with the assigned occupancy information, which can be adjusted accordingly. Occupancy plans can be compared with real-time utilization heat maps for better space planning. This is valuable for assigned desks as well as agile workspaces, where large number of staff occupies fewer seats, and helps to calculate more accurately the space needed in the agile workspaces.
