Building Information Modelling
AEC firms around the globe are transitioning from 2D CAD Platforms like ACAD and Micro Station to 3D intelligent modelling in BIM. BIM technology provides a link between, design, construction and management along with improved productivity for easy retrieval of embedded data information. BIM support services provides you with an efficient way to transition from 2D platforms to intelligent modelling in order to reduce project cost, increase profitability and save time.
Following are some of the BIM support services:
• Building Information Model: BIM model for Architecture, Interiors and Engineering Projects. These files could be at any phase of the work such as schematic design, design development, construction documents or as built conditions. The file formats could be in the form of hand sketches, photographs, PDF’s, JPG’s, DWG, DWF’s, etc.
• 3D Visualization: 3d Models for renderings and animations. These models can also be used to study building geometry/massing and construction sequencing.
• Embedding/linking and extracting of various Information
• Conflict Detection: Identify conflicts amongst various design disciplines for delivering fully coordinated BIM model.
• Detail Library: Drafting details in BIM as a part of the project or as a separate library with customized line weights, hatch patterns, etc.
The design support services include schematic design, design development, construction documentation, structure, MEP/Architectural Information Coordination, conflict identification, CAD systems development, code compliance checks, record drawings, s-built drawings, shop drawings, CAD conversion/rasterisation.
The design support services provide the following advantages to the AEC firms worldwide:
• Allows you to focus on core business rather than production
• Reduce project costs and improve project margins by 50-60%
• Time Zone advantage
• Improvement in the delivery schedule by 40-50%
• Enable you to streamline operations during peak & lean periods
• No infrastructure investments
Providing services in CAD documentation, 3d modelling, Building Information Modelling & Engineering to AEC firms worldwide for various industry segments like:
• Commercial
• Residential
• Hospitality
• Retail
• Corporate
• Healthcare
• Institutional
• Recreational

Yes. Theoretically, you can take any older version to 2009 and open it there. Just make sure that you only go from old to new, and not visa versa. If you take drawings you made in 2009 to your school computer and try to open them in 2004, it won't work.
To save a 2009 file to 2004 format, just go to save as. Under the drawing name, there is an option in which you can select different versions and formats. Usually its either .dwg, .dwt, and .dxf for years 2007, 2004 and 2000. You'll probably want to stick with the .dwg format, but with year 2004.
You should do a search for "CAD freelancer" or just "freelancer" Remember that you'll be competing against the world. There is no "Only USA" web site. One of the advantage of being in the US is, that if a project recruiter wants to sue someone in India for a breech of contract, good luck. As a citizen/resident of the US there are laws that help to provide some relief/remedy to parties that believe they have been wronged. Make sure that when you bid, you bring up this point. It helps to even the playing field.
Good luck.
AutoCAD works just fine under on Mac hardware. I have AutoCAD 2009 installed on the Boot Camp partition of my Macbook Pro, and it runs like a dream…I don't foresee you having any problems.
However, keep in mind that Autodesk doesn't "officially" support AutoCAD running on any Macintosh platform. That being said, it will run on either Parallels or Boot Camp, whatever your choice. (Assuming that you're using a Mac with an Intel processor).
Check under File | Page Setup
Auto Cad is not a career field. It is a tool used by engineers to do their work. It is a skill that should be part of your resume. Getting certification in Auto Cad will provide evidence to future employers that you are adept in using this tool.
yeah, macs suck. otherwise why would you be loading windows on it. lol
Follow the following steps:
OS (enter)
check the box End point ( You can check all if you want.This will help as u advance in Autocad;-) )
Press OK
Now activate line command by
L (enter)
go near the first corner..a small yellow icon will appear saying end point..just click immediately.Then go near the other corner..end point will light up again..just click. Then Enter to complete your line.
(If the end point yellow light does not appear then press F3)
you need a converter program for this wich you can find it here:

you can search free versions here: http://www.4shared.com
good luck!
Yes Autocad has such feature.I can just give u headlines at this time.
U need to learn to make BLOCKS with attributes…( Attribute is a data linked to that block like Part no., price etc. )
Then u need to learn ways of Attribute extraction. yes they can be extracted to Excel format.
So the key words for you to look in help are BLOCK with Attributes, Attribute Extraction. You can do them.
Good Luck!
