Open a second instance of AutoCAD. When double-clicking a DWG file in Windows, the drawing opens in AutoCAD. Then, launch a second instance of AutoCAD from the Start menu or desktop shortcut and use the OPEN command to open a second drawing. This will allow to position the two AutoCAD instances side by side. First, open AutoCAD and a new drawing. Type the command ‘ribbonclose’ and enter to close the Ribbon. You will now see an empty AutoCAD with no ribbon visible. Now type the command ‘filetabclose’ and enter to close the tabs at the top of the drawing area showing the files that are open.

• It looks fancy, but they consume many resources. Even if you use Windows XP, this will help to reduce Windows to consume too many resources. Press Win key (the one Windows logo) and type on search ‘advanced system settings’ – without quote. Click the icon when it appears. If you use Windows XP, right click my computer then choose properties.
• Click next, and when AutoCAD ask you for file name, give it door schedule.dxe. You can use this file again later when you need to create another door schedule. Page 2 – Define Data Source. AutoCAD give you a choice: you want to create a data extraction from file(s) or from some objects in your drawing.

This month, I’ve seen several posts about DraftSight, a free CAD software that support DWG files. I’ve tried it in few minutes, and it’s actually quite nice. For a freeware, it is a good software. For home and students, we can use it as alternative for AutoCAD. It looks like it, and feels like it. Well… older AutoCAD.

Although it is a nice alternative to have, but honestly I’m quite disappointed. We know that there are many drafting software that look and feel like AutoCAD. It is normal to see a community trying to provide cheaper or even free alternative for well known software. But I expect a well known company like Dassault Systemes will release their own solution.

I want to share my opinion on this. This is purely my personal opinion, not reflects any organization or company that I’m involved.

It will Never be Better

Ultrapitch vst free. This is a conversation between Dre Parker and mr Han in Karate Kid movie. They look down to Dragon’s well and see their reflection.

“What do you see Shao Dre?”

“Me”

How Do I Make Autocad Look Like Windows On Mac

“Now what do you see?”

“Now it’s blurry”

One thing we realize when we release a software that mimic a well known application is, it will never be bigger than the original. I have seen how some sales person trying hard to convince people that they can directly use it like AutoCAD, they can open their DWG files, AutoCAD this, AutoCAD that… Probably they mention it even more than mentioning their own product, more than Autodesk partner sales. Free promotion for Autodesk. At the best shot, it will only as good as AutoCAD is.

How To Make A Mac Look Like Windows

If it works like AutoCAD, then it has all it’s flaws. And their own flaws. They probably don’t bother to try creating a better software. As long as it works close to the original, that’s the purpose. Even if they add more functionalities that work better than AutoCAD, their users will never use it anyway. Why should they? They are looking for AutoCAD, not other CAD software. The only thing that can make the users happy is it works like it.

It will Not Encourage Software Development

If every software just trying to look like and feel like AutoCAD (or other well known software), then what good can it brings? Autodesk can be lazy developing it, and people still want to buy it.

Make Autocad Mac Look Like Windows

I remember when the first time SketchUp was introduced. I think it was quite revolutionary, many people like it. Autodesk and Bentley Systems quickly add the SketchUp like features to AutoCAD and MicroStation. And we can see now many CAD software support importing SketchUp files.

I really wish to see something new like SketchUp, so we can have revolutionary features. Applications like that will keep CAD vendors busy to catch up with new features.

To be Different is Good

Make Autocad Look Like Windows 10

Bentley has MicroStation, their flagship product. It can do almost everything AutoCAD can do, but it’s not the same. Some features are better than AutoCAD. I’m not saying MicroStation is better, because sometimes it doesn’t. AutoCAD is better in some area, but MicroStation can be better in other area.

When I use AutoCAD, sometimes I wish it has MicroStation way. And when I use MicroStation, I wish it can be done like in AutoCAD. For short, it offers an alternative as solution when working with the other is harder.

Make Autocad Look Like Windows 7

Do you think Apple will have a big brand and loyal customers if Mac OS looks and feels like Windows? If the only thing the application can do is close to AutoCAD, I believe they are hardly can get loyal users. Except for open source community. They are different types of users :) they are geeks…

My Conclusion

Make Autocad Look Like Windows

While alternative is good, I really expect something that can give a difference. Not just about low price or free. In my opinion, the ‘AutoCAD wanna be’ can be alternative until we can afford it. But I will not use them if I depends on AutoCAD in my office.
