When you first launch AutoCAD, you will see the main body of the screen, known as the Graphics Screen. This is where a drawing will be displayed and edited. The rest of the AutoCAD interface is how you access and enter AutoCAD commands and change settings in the AutoCAD drawing. ...

Select the side from the layout menu tool bar. Then click on curves from the palette tool and draw the sketch using line and curve. Revolve the sketch about global axis using surface tool ...

AutoCAD provides the user with an infinite two dimensional area to work with. Any entities place on the working two dimensional plane can be defined relative to the Cartesian coordinate system. ...

Discover the program structure and essential features of Autodesk Inventor. Learn how to use Inventor's sketch tools, constraints, 3D space & work features, and how to create and maintain Inventor projects. You'll also learn how to create many advanced features, sheet metal and weldments.

In this tutorial we illustrate how the Java Native Interface (JNI) can be used to permit Java programs to communicate with C programs. We begin by compiling the Java program and the C program at the command prompt (i.e. outside of Eclipse) using the MinGW gcc compiler. Once the programs are compiled and executing correctly, we show how the programs can be integrated into an Eclipse project using the CDT plugin.

A computable Revit design model is a great fit for the analyses needed for sustainable design even during schematic design. As soon as the layout of a building's walls, windows, roofs, floors, and interior partitions (elements that define a building's thermal zones) are established, a Revit model is ready for whole building analyses. ...

Shows you the steps to follow to create a distributed version of the classic Hello World program using Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
