My Christmas geek gift to myself

[HPIguy]

Damnit, I need some CSI skills. Enhance, ENHANCE I say.

Alright, ill stop stalling. Poormans Auto CAD! I bought this bundle to self teach myself proper techniques so I can make the most of the software. The end result is that ill be using this to design my big speedway project. I have a whole lot of hobby related projects going on all of a sudden. I love it!

Oh wow that's something. I have a version of Auto Cad that I haven't used in years. It's probably 2002, or somewhere in there.
Trust me, you NEED those tutorial books. There are actually classes to learn Auto Cad.
Just like PhotoShop, suddenly it all clicks and you can rely on your results.

Before my dad died, I was working as a CAD draftsman learning about Autocad. Getting started was a bit hard but as Rolex said, once it clicks in it's fairly easy.

I have AutoCAD LT 2005 but I didn't want to attempt to do this project in wireframe only. I did learn a lot about the fundamentals but this is a different program. I knew I really need a 3D program to be able to do this right.

 

[HPIguy]

Wow, that's pretty cool Lessen. Very anxious to see what you can do once you've spent some time with it.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Why would you need those when every PC comes with a built in cup holder?

Those cup holders don't hold up to a 44 oz Big Gulp.

It's a computer drafting (design) program with a bunch of self- learning stuff to go with it. This is kinda the poormans AutoCAD (brand). This software costs a fraction of what most professional architects use. Of course they won't teach me engineering stuff but if the average guy can build a sturdy deck, I can build a speedway.

Turn OFF your Tazer, stop pointing your radar gun at your head, and slowwwwwwlyyyyy step away from your computer.
Now, long slow, deep breaths. Inhale deeply....No, no, NOT on the pepper spray canister.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

.No, no, NOT on the pepper spray canister.

AHHHHHH Crap! Not again!!!!

 

[Rolex]

Oh, OW! My eyelashes burst into flames every time I see that picture.

 

[Lessen]

That's gotta be tough to stand there and pretty much know what you're about to experience.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

yea.... sucks. Straight outa the devil's ass.

If I had to stand there and choose between that and a swift kick in the groin, I'd have a hard time making my decision. :whhooo:
