Weld Mapping Software For CAD
The Weld Mapping Software used in the video above was demoed inside AViCAD (a 2D/ 3D AutoCAD-Like alternative) What is a Weld Map? A weld map visually represents the welds performed on a piping system. It provides a clear and concise overview of the welding operation, including each weld’s location, type, and size. Weld maps…
3D Piping Basics (Part 2)
Today Im exploring how to extract a 2D drawing from your 3D model and how to setup a drawing using viewports so that I can also display my 3D model with my 2D drawing. Let me know what you think. See also https://youtu.be/4EVMxEs0L6I (Part 1 of this video series) Erik from cadavenue.com
AViCAD – Like AutoCAD But Without The Price Tag
We’ve just released their new major CAD software release. AViCAD is a CAD application which offers an affordable alternative to AutoCAD and other CAD software. AViCAD consists of both 2D & 3D CAD software (which is AutoCAD®-compatible) plus Mech-Q, a set of engineering tools which contains Mechanical, Piping, HVAC and Structural design, plus other drawing…
