Will you also be looking at project management software?

[deann3g]

yes, we will be looking at how CAD software/hardware can be intergrated to other software and be used to our advantage ect.

Well one could integrate a CAD program with say MS Excel to create a bill of materials although some more advanced programs have the capability built right into them.

The use of notepad to create custom commands (LISP) and improve efficiency.

Hardware relationship would be CNC router or CNC machine, to cut or tool wood and metal products for fabrication.

The construction industry can benefit from CAD when a project is designed in 3D. The 3D model becomes the source of all information as accurate plans, elevations, sections and details can be derived from a single source.

 

Building Information Modeling (BIM) helps to reduce construction costs.

Design site earthworks (e.g. a BMX track) in Civil 3D. Upload the 3D model to the computer built into the grader and the grader then uses machine control to automatically grade (in x, y, z) the real physical surface to match the designed surface.

I'm currently working on this project too! one that i have put is that it is compatible with several other programs e.g 3Dmax etc

My $0.05 produce fly throughs to provide visual clues of blind spots in your design.

Mohamad uk: Dean3g posted his thread more than six years ago.  That thread and his one reply are the only posts he ever made.  I doubt very much you will be receiving an answer from him.
