Episode 011 (Editing in the Real World - Coordinates) | In this episode, I continue to discuss the UCS and WCS, as well as talk about Point Filters. Thanks to everyone for hanging in there. I know it's been a long time, but until recently I have had little time or motivation to work on keeping the podcast up to date. Sorry about the images in this one for iTunes and iPods. They did not scale properly. | 10/14/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 010 (UCS & WCS) | In this episode, I will address a listener's email regarding the UCS or User Coordinate System, as well as and how it relates to the WCS or World Coordinate System. Thanks to those who waited forever for this episode! I've been committed to personal and professional tasks that make money. I'll try to keep the podcast going but unfortunately I cannot commit to any schedule at this time. | 11/15/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 009 (SheetSets Part 3) | In the last 2 parts of the Sheetsets series I introduced Autocad sheetsets including the sheetset creation wizard to create a simple sheetset based on existing drawings. I briefly mentioned the use of fields in block attributes. In this episode I will cover using fields in conjunction with sheets to automate drawing publishing and management, as well as using Views to create dynamic detail referencing and linking. | 8/27/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 007 (Interview with Steve Scaysbrook) | In this episode, I'll be interviewing Steve Scaysbrook, an Architectural Techologist and freelance CAD service provider. Steve uses both Autocad on the PC and Vectorworks on the MAC to serve his clients in the Architecture industry. Visit his website at http://www.konstrukshon.co.uk/frame.html Also, if you find this podcast useful or interesting, please stop by PodcastAlley and vote for the show - but since the votes are reset each month, wait until after the first of the month so the votes tally for the month of August. http://podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=30125 If you wouldn't mind, also give me a rating in the iTunes music store. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=161519800 Thanks again for downloading and listening! | 7/29/06 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 9 | VideoEpisode 006 (Google Sketchup Importing) | This video episode (finally, right?) takes you through steps to prepare a 3D model for importing into Google Sketchup, the 3D modeling/mockup software available for free from Google. This is the first video podcast for the CADCast. I hope the download is not too big for you. You can view it in iTunes or a video iPod if you have one. Let me know what you think of the video format, and whether it's worth it in the future for you. I will always opt for video when the content warrants it no matter what.

Episode 005 (SheetSets Part 1) | In this episode, I will only introduce SheetSets to those who may not be aware of the immediate benefits. I'm calling this the "Minimal SheetSet usage" part because I think that you should AT A MINIMUM, use sheetsets in the capacity that I mention here. In the next few SheetSet episodes, not necessarily following each other, I will introduce progressively more advanced uses of the sheetset manager. I also want to welcome the plethora of new subscribers that seem to have come from the spot in Cadalyst Tips&Tricks Weekly newsletter. Thanks for subscribing!

Episode 004 (AutoCAD Addons) | In this episode, I'll talk about add-ons that you can use in addition to your block library. In some cases, an add-on may even replace a part of your library. In my field of water and wastewater plant design, I use mostly pipe fittings of all sizes and materials. There are plenty of add-ons out there, so I'll just touch the surface in this episode on what's available.

Episode 003 (Block Libraries) | This episode will cover creating, growing, and maintaining block libraries. I also have a new CADCast Quicktip where I will show you how to use often overlooked options to create a 3D reducing elbow. The CADCast focuses mostly on using AutoCAD, but some of the general concepts can be applied to any software.

Episode 002 (File Organization) | I'm sorry for the delay in posting. I've had trouble getting the file uploaded to my server. In this episode, I'm going to discuss drawing file organization (and why you SHOULD organize), and a new CADCast Quicktip where I will discuss using XREFs as a time-saving technique. | 7/1/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 001 (Places in AutoCAD) | PLACES in AutoCAD is the tool built into the open and save dialog box that sometimes goes unnoticed by new AutoCAD users, as well as seasoned users that may have upgraded to a newer version of AutoCAD. In this episode, I'll discuss the use of the PLACES sidebar to make your life a little easier. I also mention a little used variable in newer versions of AutoCAD called REMEMBERFOLDERS. It has two settings: 0 (zero) or 1 (one). Thanks for subscribing, and stay tuned for the next episode where I will discuss file and folder organization. I know, I know - kinda boring - but I need to hit the topic before moving on to more interesting and useful topics. | 6/24/06 | Free | View In iTunes |
