Welcome and Introduction

A quick welcome from AEC Systems and Autodesk with a brief overview of the plans for the coming year for Autodesk Products and AEC Systems Events.

The Impact of Building on the BUILT ENVIRONMENT

We have focused on BIM and other means of perfecting the geometry of the Buildings and Roads we design for quite some time. This presentation adds a new perspective to the Information that can be modelled with a focus on the people that inhabit the buildings and how they travel. This new modelling approach allows Cost Benefit Analysis on how design changes will effect the bottom line of a development...

New features in the new AutoCAD Platforms

  • AutoCAD for MAC
  • AutoCAD WS
  • Autodesk Design Suite.

There are many variations on the AutoCAD options currently available and Lynn Allen is an expert on all of them. Lynn has over 20 years experience with AutoCAD, having taught at the corporate and collegiate level for 13 years, and is recognised worldwide as the best speaker on this topic.

 
Print Optimisation and Auditing

Printing has often been overlooked in delivery but also a major pain point for many organisations in management and time.

AEC Systems have identified this as an issue also and have been working with TriCert in delivering an optimised printing solution to the industry.

This can also resolve printing issues in moving to 64 bit OS as well as reducing print spooling.

 
Adobe, CAD and the future

  • When a new revision is issued, have the old PDF's display a SUPERSEDED watermark...
  • Compare different Drawings and have Adobe show the differences...
  • Portfolios...

Regular attendees of AEC Systems events will be aware of the potential Adobe applications offer. In this session we are going to focus specifically on the Drawing Production offerings with a major emphasis on Revision Control as this is a major pain point for all production firms.

 
CAD Enabled Anywhere

This has been even more evident with many companies moving to BIM and data centric design. We now have the ability to share these projects with very low bandwidth not only to PC's but also to portable devices like your Ipad to allow you to take you CAD anywhere and not be disadvantaged by the large file size of your model.
 
The power of "What if..." in Site Design and the BIM Process...
To do justice to the "I" of BIM in Siteworks, cost estimates need to be dynamic with inbuilt functionality for optimising the design to provide multiple solution scenarios for layout, grading, piping, access and everything else that goes into the process. This presentation is a quick overview of an online solution that needs to be seen to be believed!
