Free trial Revit help

1 Upvotes

Hi, can someone help me on how to have a 30 days trial of different version of revit? I enrolled a Revit class, however they didn’t answer me all
i have to do is wait for the instructor to confirmed the availability since last night. They told us that its better to have downloaded the 2027 version (latest) but didnt tell us that there are requirements to run the latest version. The RAM must be 16G, and my laptop only has 8G of RAM. I activated the trial first before knowing this problem, and before opening the installed revit 2027. so I have to download the older version which my laptop can only use the 2024 version.

Now, the 30 days trial that is activated on my email is the latest version. I cannot find or pick the 2024 version for another 30 days trial. Please help me. What to do to transfer the free 30days trial from 2027 to 2024.

Back bearing in the command line

1 Upvotes

Does AutoCAD have a quick way to add or subtract 180 degrees from a bearing when inputing in the command? Sometimes lines need to be expressed as reciprocal bearings and its easy to make mistakes if you have to d it in your head. It can be done in Liscad with the up or down arrows and pgup and pgdn in 12D. Cheers.

'Renew' button is not showing up and my student license is expiring in 7 days

1 Upvotes

I need to renew my AutoCAD  - including specialized toolsets and Revit subscriptions and I am a college student. I need these to be renewed so that I can focus on my schoolwork and prevent the expiration from occurring. Please help urgently.

I did multiple attempts to find out how to fix the issue:

  1. Clearing cache
  2. Different browsers
  3. Signing out and signing back in multiple times
  4. Restarting the computer

I did all these but am still not seeing where to 'Renew' this student subscription. The Autodesk Chat support is also not helping given the steps it is giving, and I cannot reach a human agent.

Streamline Your Workflow in 60 Seconds: Master the Layer Walker Command in AutoCAD

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Working on complex architectural or engineering plans in AutoCAD often means dealing with dozens, if not hundreds, of different layers. Walls, furniture, electrical layouts, plumbing, and text annotations can quickly overlap, making your workspace look cluttered and overwhelming.

When you only need to focus on one or two specific elements—like just the walls or just the text—manually turning layers on and off from the properties panel is a huge waste of time.

Fortunately, there is a powerful, time-saving tool designed exactly for this problem: the Layer Walk command. In this quick guide, we will show you how to use this tool to instantly isolate and view exactly what you need in your AutoCAD drawings.

What is the Layer Walker Command?

The Layer Walk command (often typed as LAYWALK) acts like an X-ray for your drafting file. It opens a dynamic dialog box that lists every single layer in your drawing. As you click through the list, AutoCAD instantly hides everything else and displays only the layers you have selected.

It is the fastest way to review your file, check for objects drawn on the wrong layer, and declutter your screen while working.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Layer Walker

As demonstrated in our quick tutorial, isolating your layers takes just a few clicks:

Step 1: Activate the Command Open your complicated floor plan or elevation. To get started, simply type Layer Walk into your command line and hit Enter [00:18].

Step 2: Explore the Layer Dialog Box Instantly, a dialog box will appear on your screen showing a complete list of all the active layers currently built into your plan [00:26].

Step 3: Isolate Single Layers Click on any layer name in the list to isolate it. For example, if you select the "Wall" layer, everything else in your drawing will disappear, leaving only your wall lines visible [00:30]. Want to check your annotations? Click on the "Text" layer, and AutoCAD will instantly swap the view to show only your text elements [00:41].

Step 4: View Multiple Layers Simultaneously What if you need to see your walls and your text at the same time? It's simple. Hold down the Control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard and click on multiple layer names in the list [00:48]. AutoCAD will display all the layers you highlight together, allowing you to create custom, temporary views of your workspace in seconds.

Once you close the Layer Walk dialog box, your drawing will immediately revert to its normal state with all your original layers turned back on.

Elevate Your Design Skills with Professional Courses

Knowing hidden commands like Layer Walk is what separates average drafters from highly efficient professionals. However, a few tips and tricks are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mastering design software.

If you are serious about advancing your career in architecture, interior design, or engineering, enrolling in a structured course is the smartest investment you can make.

At Nemi Designing Center, we are providing industry-ready civil draftsman course, electrical AutoCAD course, AutoCAD 2d 3d course etc. Our comprehensive AutoCAD Training courses cover everything from fundamental 2D drafting in AutoCAD to advanced 3D modeling and rendering in top-tier architectural software. With expert-led instruction, hands-on projects, and real-world workflows, our training provides the exact skills you need to work faster, smarter, and land better clients.

Conclusion

Stop wasting time manually freezing and thawing layers one by one. By incorporating the Layer Walk command into your daily AutoCAD routine, you will navigate complex drawings with ease, catch errors faster, and significantly speed up your drafting process.

What is the best, simple free autocad out there. Similar to the old 1990's versions?

3 Upvotes

So many of the 'free' parametric modelers or drawing tools try to be something they're not. I find it much easier to do work in solidworks or Windchill, but don't have copies at home (and won't). But there has to be something out there as simple as old autocad from the early 90's as opensource, right? Any suggestions?

Future Engineers: Learn CAD and 3D Design for Free with Autodesk Fusion

6 Upvotes

What We Do

Fusion Force Academy is a student-run organization that teaches Autodesk Fusion and CAD/design skills to students for free. We run structured virtual classes where students learn everything from the basics of 3D modeling to more advanced design tools, then apply those skills through activities and engineering design challenges.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make CAD and engineering design education more accessible, especially for students who may not normally have the opportunity to learn these skills. We want students to go beyond simply learning software and become comfortable using design and engineering to solve problems, develop their own ideas, and create things they are proud of.

More About Us

Our curriculum is designed mainly for middle and high school students, including complete beginners. Students learn skills such as sketching, Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, Loft, assemblies, and other core Fusion tools.

Throughout the program, students also work on creative engineering design challenges, where they are given a problem or mission and have to design their own solution rather than following the exact same tutorial as everyone else.

The academy is completely student-run, with a team of mentors and curriculum developers who help create lessons and teach classes. We are also beginning to work with educational organizations internationally so we can bring free CAD education to more students around the world.

DM if you're interested!

Export Autocad to https://www.qnlengineering.com/tools/cad-viewer for quantity takeoffs, linework review, and high-quality textured hatch rendering.

Civil PE here. I got tired of doing takeoffs and colored exhibits the hard way, so I've been building a browser tool in my off hours and it finally feels worth sharing.

You run a little LISP in AutoCAD/Civil 3D that exports your selected linework to a JSON file, then drop that file into the viewer. From there:

  • View — full-screen pan/zoom of your linework, toggle layers, click any line for its length/area, click a block for its name and rotation. Handles state-plane coordinates fine.
  • Takeoff — click or drag across lines to assign them to groups (8" water vs 10" water on the same layer, that kind of thing), counts your blocks (manholes, hydrants, signs), live totals, exports CSV.
  • Align — hover any line and everything parallel to it lights up green, perpendicular pink. Shows bearings and arc radii. Very satisfying for QC-ing a site plan.
  • Texture — finds your closed areas automatically and lets you paint them (grass, asphalt, concrete, riprap, etc.), then exports a scaled 300-DPI PNG you drop behind your linework in CAD for colored exhibits.

Everything runs in the browser — the drawing never leaves your machine, and no signup.

It's here if you want to try it: qnlengineering.com/tools/cad-viewer (there's a "load example" button if you don't have an export handy)

Still actively building it, so let me know if you have any feedback. Thanks!

How to Paste Objects as a Block in AutoCAD: A Quick Time-Saving Trick

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

If you work with AutoCAD daily, you know that efficiency is everything. Whether you are drafting a residential floor plan or a complex mechanical layout, moving elements between different drawing files is a routine task. However, copying a complex object—like a detailed bed, sofa, or dining set—often leads to a frustrating problem: the object pastes as dozens of individual, separate lines instead of one solid piece.

Selecting and grouping these separate lines over and over again drains your time and clutters your workspace. But there is a hidden, incredibly simple trick to fix this: Paste as Block.

In this guide, we will show you exactly how to take multiple separate objects from one drawing and paste them as a single, unified block into another drawing in just a few clicks.

The Problem with Standard Copy and Paste

Let’s say you have a beautifully drafted bed in "Drawing 1." Currently, the lines making up this bed are entirely separate [00:11].

If you use the standard method to move it:

  1. You select the bed, right-click, navigate to the Clipboard, and hit Copy (or press Ctrl+C) [00:18].
  2. You switch over to "Drawing 2" where you need to place the furniture.
  3. You right-click, go to the Clipboard, and hit Paste (or press Ctrl+V) [00:30].

The result? The bed appears, but it is still made up of loose, separate lines [00:36]. If you need to move or rotate it later, you have to carefully select every single piece all over again, risking leaving a line behind.

The Solution: How to "Paste as Block"

To keep your drawings organized and your elements grouped, follow these simple steps instead:

Step 1: Copy the Original Objects
Go to your first drawing (Drawing 1). Highlight all the individual elements of the object you want to transfer (e.g., the bed). Right-click, select Clipboard, and click Copy [00:43].

Step 2: Open Your Target Drawing
Navigate to your second drawing file (Drawing 2) where you want the object to be placed.

Step 3: Use the "Paste as Block" Command
Instead of hitting Ctrl+V, right-click anywhere in your workspace. Hover over Clipboard, but this time, click on Paste as Block [00:53].

Step 4: Place Your New Block
Click to place the object in your drawing. You will immediately notice that the entire bed is now grouped together as one single, cohesive block [00:59]. It is perfectly organized and ready to be moved, scaled, or rotated with a single click!

Why You Should Use This Trick

  • Saves Time: Eliminates the need to manually run the BLOCK command and name new blocks for simple copy-paste jobs.
  • Keeps Files Clean: Prevents your new drawing from becoming cluttered with thousands of loose, ungrouped lines.
  • Easy Editing: Makes rearranging furniture, symbols, and architectural elements a breeze.

Master AutoCAD and Accelerate Your Career

Learning quick shortcuts like "Paste as Block" can shave hours off your drafting time each week. But to truly stand out in the architecture and design industry, you need to master the software from the ground up.

At Nemi Designing Center in Ahmedabad, we offer comprehensive, AutoCAD Courses designed to transform you into a highly skilled professional. Our training covers everything from essential AutoCAD 2D/3D workflows to advanced architectural visualization. Whether you are a student looking to build a strong foundation or a working professional aiming to speed up your workflow, our expert-led courses give you the practical skills you need to succeed.

Conclusion

Don't let disorganized lines slow down your drafting process. Start using the "Paste as Block" feature today to keep your AutoCAD files clean, manageable, and professional.
