Differences between CAD 2007 and CAD 2004 in 3D drawing
Thread Content
Does anyone know the differences in operations for 3D drawing between CAD 2007 and CAD 2004?
Oh! Few people use CAD for 3D modeling, right? I don’t know
Judging from the recent upgrades to AutoCAD, enhancements to 3D operations account for the majority of the new features
From R14 to 2004, the differences don’t seem that significant. I didn’t use it in 2007, so I can’t comment. By 2010 it must have become much more powerful; many tasks that previously required LISP could now be handled, solid surface graphics were improved, and rendering capabilities also increased significantly.
When creating 3D graphics in AutoCAD, version 2004 ignored all the dimensions of the model; version 2007 can save this data – by simply selecting the model, its relevant dimensions can be obtained
It’s not convenient to create 3D drawings in AutoCAD, especially since interface integration is tricky during the design process. The 2010 version has a pretty good ViewCube tool. For creating 3D diagrams, Autodesk Plant 3D is recommended.
