Hello/hi..

 

First i wnt need to know..

 

- like 3D model software like Solidwork and etc..its autocad itself can do it?

- if can in what edition support it?

Welcome to CADTutor.

 

Autocad LT, is intended for 2D work.

Autocad (any of the million different versions, as long as they don't include LT) is/are intended for 2D & 3D work.

The Autodesk equivalent of Solidworks, is called INVENTOR.

 

You can download a free 30 day trial of pretty much anything sold by Autodesk (the makers of Autocad),

from the Autodesk website.

 

What sort of work are you interested in doing?

In what field?

oh i see..

 

just want to share..i have a task that needs to measure,draw and preview the drawings in 3D by using autocad2000LT.

its posible to this??

2nd Q : how to show 3 view drawings in autocad2000

[Dadgad]

Using LT to do this certainly sounds like an "up hill fight", but I shall defer to other members who

actually USE LT on a daily basis, who will be much better equipped to give you accurate answers.

from my obersvation using LT.. if we work omn 2D environmnt is quite good..but if we want to work on 3D envrnmnt,,its quite tough..because we need to do it manually..for example like to combine 2 object wwe need to used union to combine it.

 

if im not mistaken, in autocad200oLT we deal with point cloud..its quite diff wtih another 3d Model software, they deal with surface.. to do extrude, make the circle,hole and etc on that surface..its much more easy compred to autocad2000lT.. im i rite?

Viewing 3D drawings in LT isn't straight forward, you can find various options under the view menu which will help you create model space viewports and the view command to allow you to change the viewing angle in those viewports, but you are limited to the standard top, front, right etc. as well as the 4 isometric views. Then there is the viewpoint command that again is a manual method to let you view objects from any angle. LT doesn't have the ability to create solids or edit them but you can view them and use the hide/shade commands to view 3D objects with hidden line removal. Also only the ability to view surfaces. The union command only works for regions that are planar. If you need that capability and you have the option, then I would go to using full Autocad. Autocad LT is OK for viewing 3D content, and the measuring tools work fine, but it takes some getting used too, and the toolset isn't the easiest. Drawing in 3D space is even more fun, because it lacks being able to draw 3D solids and surfaces.

well noted sir..

 

how about autocad inventor.. its same with another autocad? or much more btter ?

if compred to another design software like solidwork,rhino and etc, hows about autocad inventor

[Dadgad]

INVENTOR is the closest thing that Autodesk offers to Solidworks, but it is quite a bit different than regular Autocad,

as it is a true Parametric based software.

object tht have been union.. when we explode it, how come we put it all in one polygon?

Sorry, but I don't really understand your question.

Perhaps this link http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?91713-how-do-you-un-union-solids

will help shed some llight on your problem.

Maybe post a drawing as an example. To show what you are wanting to do

hi all..

just want to ask..how to make chamfer between two surfaces?

i means the adjacent between two vertical and horizontal surfaces, how come we make the chamfer on it..

I was going to say that you would have to add it, by modeling, as I didn't think that the CHAMFER command would add the material called for inside the angle. Glad I tried it before I responded, as you CAN do this using the CHAMFER command, but be sure to read the commandline carefully and follow the prompts. Of course I am using full Autocad, I don't know about LT.

I think you should clarify whether you are using Autocad LT or Full Autocad.
