Hardware Setup, Uprgading & Troubleshooting

What is the best system for AutoCAD & other CAD programs?

What's the minimum I need to spend to have them run efficiently?

Just how much RAM do I need? What about the Video Card?

AMD or Pentium? Does it matter?

We can answer all these and more, and give you a vendor-neutral, honest report on what works and what doesn't specifically for AutoCAD. Then when you purchase you will be prepared with the right info on-hand to buy exactly what you need, no more & no less.

Software Setup, Uprgading & Troubleshooting

The AutoCAD dealer is trying to sell me a package deal...do I need add-ons to AutoCAD?

Autodesk makes over 30 major products...what do they all do? What do I need for my business?

What is ADT? Revit? Inventor? Can you explain the differences?

What about other CAD programs? What else is out there?

What is rendering & visualization all about? What software does this? How does AutoCAD fit in?

Autodesk (the developer of AutoCAD) makes a bewildering array of solutions. Let us guide you through the maze of products, and give you un-biased opinions on what is out there and whether or not you need it. (Hint: Want to save thousands of $$ ?? AutoCAD LT may be right for you - ask us).
