muzzy Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 What is your wishlist from AutoCAD 2006 Here is my wishlist... 1- More flexbility on Solids, at least some kind of vertex editing or easier to use tools than actual ones or a stretch command for 3D solids. 2- Converting polylines to renderable 3D splines by giving thickness like 3D MAX. No need to extrude along path. This can be a sub command under polyline editing command so that line can be updated easily 3-Better viewport handling of complex 3D scenes with a decent Nvidia card like 3ds MAX. Transparency 4- Saving Architectural Desktop objects as flat 2D plans or a flatten command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutaj Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 A good place for that info is http://www.augi.com They usually present a wishlist to autodesk during AU every year after their annual meeting in November. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 For your first wish, try using the "move face" command under the solids editing. It works great for essentially "stretching" solids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chat, That's true but if you have a unioned window frame or solids and want to stretch overall height from 4' to 4'6, you have to take it to 3ds max or export as 3ds and bring it back. why not can not be done with a single command in a $3750 software ?

That's not the case. If you use the move face command, and pick the correct faces (you don't even have to be terribly precise at picking) you can stretch the window frame 6" or whatever. I use the command to fill in booleaned holes, add length/take away length to a solid, or whatever. Play with the command and you will see what it can do. It's really quite powerful. -Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I really like AutoCad as a 2d and basic 3d utility but for the price tag, it's 3d tools should be more like a medium range 3d package. It should have more intuitive modelling and viewing and MUCH improved texturing/rendering ability. And no, I don't think the 2004 upgrade was of great benefit to us. (Don't have 2005 yet.)

Ernest Burden III Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 What is your wishlist from AutoCAD 2006? get cancelled. Short of that, a database/filetype that is compatible with anything beyond itself. Short of that, an even slower adoption of the program by my clients than v2004.

I was using 2000 version and just installed the AutoCAD 2005.No major improvement from then. I thought if we create a useful wishlist for next version may be Autodesk listen and improve.. Another wishlist.. cut/slice tool for Regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
