How To Hide and Print A 3D CAD Drawing in Paperspace
Hiding your 3D CAD drawing in paperspace just takes a couple of steps. First position the drawing in Paperspace. Then using the Properties pallet you can hide the model before sending it to the printer. We are using AViCAD here. Its a AutoCAD alternative, which is 1/8 the cost. We can be reached at 888-271-7121…

How to create a 3D Beam in CAD
Leave a comment below! Using Mech-Q (AutoCAD add-on) we can create a 3D sloped beam. Video explains how to rotate the UCS (user coordinate system) and use polar tracking to achieve a snap angle for the slope. We are also working in AViCAD, which is a AutoCAD Alternative with Mech-Q included. In addition we are…
