![]() It is not completely parametric in the sense that the software is not continually saving a complete history to go back through time. You can create some of your own components and add to them. There are stock components of models that you can use to build from to create new models. In the latest update, they have changed it and it has another way to show it up. It took me quite some time trying to find this and figuring out where I was. In the earlier videos, this is one of the things that tipped me of is that the materials are not up to date with the release of the software. ![]() There are a lot of resources available to you. When you get this program, you really want to have an Autodesk username, login, and password to sign in to their system. Downloading it on your local computer has some advantages and disadvantages.Įven if it is local on your computer, it is intended and designed to be interactively connected. If you started with Tinkercad and you get through them and you start hungering for more, this is a huge logical step up. It does not give you the ability to view the front top side and perspective view all at once in different little videos. It is another program that you are working in a 3 dimensional view and if you want to look at something on a plane, you got to orient the entire environment to be perpendicular to your view. It still is a little more basic in its abilities and controls and also how you move and create objects. You can add and subtract parts from each other. You can also put multiple lines crossing each other and extrude only portions of it. You can also start with lines and curves and make them the flat plain of the work-space and extrude them. You can go and enter in the radius and the height of it and it will change interactively with you. ![]() You are primarily building things from primitives that exist. It is very similar in how it works with Tinkercad. If you want to go into in depth tutorials and instructions, this one may not offer you everything that you would hope it would. I felt that they were lacking in that regard. They have not been updated with the new features and the other aspects of the program. The tutorials and videos that are available from Autodesk 123D software are clearly from an earlier version from the program. They had just very well done tutorials and videos that are going to all different aspects of the software. It has a lot more technical capabilities. I must say that when compared to our review last week of OnShape, OnShape is a much more robust program from my perspective. I went through it and they have quite a bit of tutorials and some videos available. The premium features have to do with some other aspects of it that are not the actual program itself. If you use the free version, you have all the same functionality of the program itself. You do need to subscribe if you are going to use it on other reasons other than being for personal use. There are some restrictions that if you are going to use the free Autodesk 123D software version, it is not licensed and is not to be used for commercial use. This is a program that does not cost anything to download and use it. They have a specific version available for downloading to be used on iPads as well. It is a downloadable program that is available on Windows and Mac platforms. Autodesk 123D software is a bit different. One of the big differences in the Autodesk 123D software is that it is not a web based application, where Tinkercad is. Today, I am going to talk about 123D Design. The next step up from that is Autodesk 123D software which has many facets to it. They have many different levels of software. They are one of the companies that have done it the longest. ![]() When I was first trained on it, it was just a 2 dimensional program to replace paper drawing on a board. Maybe they were one of the first in the whole industry. They have been into CAD software pretty much as long as anybody. If you remember one of the first reviews in our series of CAD software that was Tinkercad by Autodesk. It is a beginner software, great for those just diving in wanting to learn CAD for 3D printing and 3D modelling, but if you are a more advanced user it is probably not the right fit for your skill level. They also note that advanced users may not be too happy with this because it is not right for their skill levels.Īutodesk 123D software has many similar features of other CAD softwares, and while the company is one of the oldest in the CAD game, there are things that we are left wanting. They believe that it is only ideal for those who want to learn CAD for 3D printing and modeling. In this episode, Tom and Tracy Hazzard review this beginner software. Autodesk 123D software has many similar features of other CAD software, and while the company is one of the oldest in the CAD game, there are things that we are left wanting. ![]()
