I have been tasked to study Autodesk Quantity Takeoff 2012(QTO). Being a Civil 3D person, I know for a fact that the Civil 3D has its own QTO tools. Civil 3D can do various types of quantity takeoffs. If you are into Transportation or Site Development projects, you can use the Volume and Materials analysis tools. These set of tools will allow you to compute for Earthworks and material takeoffs

I don't know if anyone out there is aware that this Blog exists...It has been more than a year of silence... I'm still part of the crazy but exciting world of being a technical person of an Autodesk Reseller, a Gold Partner in fact. However, I have chosen not to post lately due to a breakthrough in my life that has changed me forever...motherhood. Yes, I'm a proud mom of a beautiful baby boy

Yesterday, April 23, 2010, I got to my AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Professional Certification. So, what's in it for me? Nothing much, it just made me the first application engineer (of an Autodesk Partner/Reseller) in the entire Singapore to become professionally certified in Civil 3D 2010. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm basing my claim from Autodesk Certification - Certified Professionals Search tool.

I've been out for quite some time due to trainings and on-site supports. Most of the technical supports I get lately is the "Out of Memory" issue of AutoCAD Civil 3D. Based on what I've seen so far, it is either the hardware has memory issues or the drawing file itself has some complications of sorts. It is easy to pinpoint if the issue is the hardware limitations. Just get  the client to see

Tomorrow I will be visiting a client who claims that they had some issues with Civil 3D's interoperability with Microstation. Actually, in Singapore, when you deal with any government projects thru LTA you need to submit all your drawings in DGN format. The history of the said government agency's Microstation usage dates back from many years and Autodesk until now is having a hard time

I always tell those who attend my AutoCAD Civil 3D Essentials class that the bulk of work for those who are new Civil 3D users are setting up their CAD standards in a template file. Like AutoCAD, Civil 3D is template-based. All styles you need for points, surfaces, alignments, profiles, etc are painstakingly prepared using the Settings Tab of the Prospector. After which it can be saved in an

Since I'm very much late with all the updates about the 2010 Autodesk software releases, I want to catch-up by giving you guys the most informative video I've ever seen featuring AutoCAD Civil 3D, The Road Ahead. It exposes the strengths of Civil 3D in road design compared to other competitor softwares. It showcases the ability of the software to seamlessly  integrate with Geospatial/GIS data

I’m really a Map person. I was a GIS gal first before I became a Civil geek. It was, I think, mid 2007 that I found myself obliged to learn Civil 3D. My AE friend (the weird gal in the picture with me) found a new job in a design firm and no one was around yet to do the Civil 3D stuffs. With the guidance of Noah Arles, Autodesk ASEAN Civil AE, I pushed myself hard to learn it. It was not a big

Hi Guys!The latest release of AutoCAD Civil 3D has been out since early 2nd Qtr of this year (2009). Much has changed and in my opinion its the most powerful release so far. User interface wise, it has adpated AutoCAD 2009's Ribbon. No more pull down menus and floating tool bars, replaced by the Tabs and Panels that are pretty much arranged according to your workflow. For those who can't seem to

So much has happened!It's been ages since we last posted. My partner and I are not in the same company anymore. She has moved on to pursue her Civil Eng'g practice with Hyder Consulting, Philippines while I'm still an Applications Engineer but the difference is I'm now with a local Autodesk partner in SIngapore, Innocom Technologies. We are still in-touch though but not as often as before. When I

I just found out that Vault can now be accessed through Map 3D 2008. This is so cool!I was going to install MS Office Add-in for Autodesk Vault only to find out that it can also be done in Map 3D. I don't know if this feature was in the previous release,but what the heck, I can use Vault in Map 3D 2008. Map 3D users can now benefit from the functionalities of a centralized data management system.

As an applications engineer, I get numerous calls from clients asking for technial support of various nature. Some are mind-boggling that I really need to do some research or call Autodesk Support in order to find correct solutions. Some, on the otherhand, are so basic that makes me wanna laugh at times. My fellow AEs sarcastically put it as a "Format User" error.One basic error that bugs me

A friend of mine wants to buy a laptop but then when we were about to purchase one, the specs indicate that it is a 64-bit machine. Upon noticing, we all (we were four at that time) looked at each other with a big question mark on our faces...Are Autodesk softwares ready for this type of processor? The laptop was oh sooo pretty and we wanted to buy it because of the promo discount of 10 grand...

Hello there! This blog has been blank since it was created last February 2007...Oh well, been so busy and my buddy has decided to change her course. Been the only lowly AE for two months now and I can't seem to find the time to post anything. I may not be able to live up to our dream of helping those Pinoy Infrastructure Solutions users of Autodesk.I will do my best though, will still get input
