Amit Kumar tries out the ‘Repeat Command’ on CADblogbyAmit “If you want to use a command multiple times and don’t want to press enter key again and again after using command every time then you can use REPEAT command to keep command running in an infinite loop” Read the full article on CADBlogbyAmit.
Ralph Grabowski from WorldCAD Access remarks on ARES Touch “ARES Touch is the only mobile CAD program that endeavors to pack in a complete set of drawing and editing functions on a tablet. Not only is it command-rich, but it hosts third-party customization, something not even Autodesk has attempted” Read the full article on World CAD Access here.
Working With QUICK INPUT ARES Commander 2016 gives us information about the command that we are using directly at the pointer. At the same time, it offers us the coordinates of the position of the pointer. By clicking on a point, the Quick Input options appear. This is a new feature in ARES Commander that can be activated or deactivated here. When activated, contextual information appears about the angles and distance from the starting point. In this case, I can write a distance, for example. Then after pressing the TAB key, we can also change the angle, in this case adding degrees. Press ‘Enter’ to confirm the changes and to create the new point. Now we can let the polyline end perpendicular to this rectangular shape here. But when the pointer moves, we can see that many entity snaps appear. That’s why we should use the snap filter by combining
Building information modeling (BIM) is how architects today design buildings — or at least that is the hope of CAD software firms. Because of how BIM software is implemented, it is highly incompatible with competitors, and so this effectively locks in entire regions to a single supplier. When one CAD vendor gains a significant foothold in the region with its BIM software, clients and customers need to use the exact same software or else suffer the inability to land work. The following article is an abstract of the eBook ‘Best CAD Practices’ by Ralph Grabowski. Graebert is happy to share with you some of the experience accumulated by Ralph as a CAD expert and as compiled in his eBook for which the reference can be found at the bottom of the page. Feel free to share feedback in the comment section below. There is a solution: IFC. Industry foundation classes are
Matteo Luccio writes about GIS contents and a full-featured dwg-based CAD system “Graebert GmbH, a German company that has specialized in CAD for more than 30 years, announced the upcoming release of ARES Map, a hybrid CAD-GIS solution it created in partnership with Esri. It merges Esri’s ArcGIS Online with Graebert’s DWG-based ARES Commander CAD engine, which has hundreds of CAD features.” Read the full article on xyht.com
Ralph Grabowski from WorldCADaccess speaks about SiteMaster “SiteMaster is the quietly successful secondary business from Graebert, for cataloging the contents of buildings – from measuring floor plans to designing kitchens. For example, Bank of America used it to survey 3,000 branches in the USA in eight months. Also, 10 million square feet of government buildings for the City of Berlin.” Read the full article on WorldCADAccess here

Architect and archaeologist Irene Blum works at the University of Bochum, Germany. She uses ARES Commander for excavation work in an antique city in Turkey. “As our activity goes on for many years at the same location but with changing staff, we need a user-friendly and versatile CAD program” Detailed Plans The ability of unlimited zooming in and out allows to create detailed plans of all the findings such as walls, components, fountains – everyone in the team has access and can see the area they are working on. “We feed ARES Commander with the coordinates we gain from surveying the site, so we can reproduce any point or line to scale – and also later identify where exactly this is on site”, says Blum. For this the various layers are a great help: Even the most diverse topics can be visualized individually or in any combination. This may be
