i miss the autocad days
... thanx for the good flashback
Event though we use Catia and Togo/Caelum for our 3D CAD, I still whip out the old school AutoCAD for the simple stuff.
gettin all fancy now arent we?
Autocad was a pretty sweet class for highschool
especially the freakin lan parties we would have when the teacher wasnt around. played like liero x and doom and all kinds of sweet games.
sorry to get off topic. what are you using this for? engineering school or something?
Fancy? LOL. (OK I'll go off track too for just a second...)
Engineering School? Nah, I miss the old school days. When I was in school, AC13 was pretty high tech.
Our company makes exhaust systems for Toyota. Since the underbody and powertrain are all designed in Japan, we are provided with some limited chassis data in order to model the exhaust onto the vehicle. Toyota, being the giants they are, wrote their own CAD software, "Togo." The English spinoff of this is Caelum. Now Toyota has realized that it is cheaper to use a more common package. (It is nearly impossible to find Togo/Caelum trained CAD techs in North America. (You can make a fortune if you have this training.)
As for me, using Caelum to draft quick plant floor layouts or design proposal sketches is like using a Howitzer to kill a fly. Keep up the old AutoCAD skills, you'll find it's still used in the everyday world.
As for the LAN parties, those are more secret than ever. We just had a Ghost Recon 2 XBox tourney using the main conference room and the presentation projector. (I never guessed there were so many closet gamers in the corporation. Yes, even middle aged execs too.)
