garethace Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 The more seasoned veterans are so set in there ways that there isn't much that Autodesk has done that they've implemented since release 13. Any opinions guys? From here: Cadalyst forum Anyone else able to get http://www.augi.com these days? I cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethace Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 Another interesting comment, which I have first hand experience of: Productive R12 users were hamstrung by upgrading to R13; but were really helped with R14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethace Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 I had a program that was grafted to the End command that recorded the time-in-drawing, the file size, the drafter id, time and date. After a while of recording the data, I had enough to indicate some trends on what users were doing. Since I made no measure of the "difficulty" of the project, or of the day of the week, those differences generally tended to average themselves out. Sounds good, right? Management then wanted to extrapolate how many minutes a certain amount of work took to create a "reward/punishment" line of performance. I said I couldn't do that. That the data just indicated that process X took about a half hour, plus or minus 15 minutes; that process B took about an hour, etc. So, you have to be carefull with metrics, especially around people with no real background in process efficiency. (A 10 man-hour job cannot be achieved by 5 people in half the time--a logic that escapes far too many; same as torquing a nut twice to 20 foot-pounds is not the same as once to 40.) I find this 'metrics' approach to CAD use, has been promoted by management far too long and too much now.... it really doesn't make any sense.

Fernando Lino Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Any opinions guys? From here: Cadalyst forum Anyone else able to get http://www.augi.com these days? I cannot. I'd say after autocad 14...13 was a piece of Sh$@#@$%!!!! Autodesk has a lot stuff to do....for example in ADT. ADT'd works with levels like Revit!!!!! .....I don't know if ADT2004 does it Maybe create third party software just for massing and simple modeling like sketchup....a better interface to create walls (like Revit). I customized my ADT 3.3 at work and I can work twice faster than my others co-workers.....Autocad is very flexible for that.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
