I had one of the collapsible pistol grip type Schoenstedts at one time and didn't really care for it. Not that I disliked it, I just didn't find any a...

For the most part I'm doing my own CAD work these days. So if there is a mistake I made it, I found it, and I must fix it. Nevertheless, if you find a...

One CAD function that may be helpful is BOUNDARY. Use it to create a fully closed figure of each lot on a unique layer. Dimension those figures by sel...
