Below are recordings of Webinars on DoubleCAD™ XT and DoubleCAD XT Pro features and functions.

PRO-001: Drafting Palette

This Webcast demonstrates one of the most powerful features for Advanced Drafting and Detailing: the Drafting Palette. This is a DoubleCAD XT Pro feature. The Drafting Palette is used to create associative elevations, sections, and fragmental views of the current visible selection from model space with only a few clicks. There are options for working with Solid Models, or Surface Models, and the feature works beautifully with external references (Xrefs) as well as in drawing models. When the Xref source file is changed, in SketchUp™, AutoCAD®, SolidWorks®, or other applications, the sections and elevations are changed in the DoubleCAD paper spaces. See how quickly these views may be added to paper spaces, and how the properties controls allow for quickly changing the display formats for hidden lines, or to update colors, line weights, and hatches. The Webinar was hosted by Bob Mayer on June 4, 2009. This Webcast of this Webinar has been broken into two parts. Click to see Part 1 here. Click to see Part 2 here.

PRO-002: SketchUp to DoubleCAD XT PRO Workflow

This Webcast examines the workflow between SketchUp and DoubleCAD with an emphasis on the Pro version features. See how SketchUp layers, components, and scenes are brought into DoubleCAD. How visual properties can be set up, how pages can be arranged, and how to use the drafting palette to quickly demonstrate sections, elevations, and fractional views for documentation. Replacing the model space with an external reference (Xref) is demonstrated, and the drafting palette is used to create elevations. Then see how a change made in SketchUp is reflected in DoubleCAD layout (paper space) views automatically. This Webinar was hosted by William Manning of IMSI/Design on June 10, 2009. This Webcast of this Webinar has been broken into two parts. The first part focuses on DoubleCAD XT functionality; the second part shows additional capabilities working with DoubeCAD XT Pro.
