Hi CADspeed Team,

I really enjoyed reading your blog. What a great resource of information about CAD applications. These are extremely valuable. Thanks for sharing!

I would like to see if I could submit a guest post or 2 for your blog/readers and I was thinking about the following topics:

1. A guide to set up your workstation before getting started in CAD
2. How to develop a career as a CAD Designer

What do you think about these?

For your information, all of our articles are custom written by our writers for your blog, and are absolutely FREE.

If you are interested, I am happy to get something written up and sent over to you - or if you have another topic you'd like to see covered, please do let me know.

Thanks and I look forward to your positive response.

I need to spec out & buy a new CAD station, soon. I will be running latest ver. of AutoCAD Inventor -and- Solidworks Premium.
I need to determine a well-configured hardware set-up for a higher - upper end CAD station. I want it powerful enough to handle future updates to Inventor & Solidworks for 3+ years into the future -IF- that is a realistic goal.

Can you direct me to the most recent articles posted that covers the 'how to' for best 3D CAD work station set-ups ??

I expect to have;
- Two 27-30" flat screen monitors
- Interested is best & largest SSD's, for operating systems & programs too
- Best conf. for graphics card, RAM memory, cache
- need other advise, for important but subtle aspects

Thanks~

Dear cadspeed.wordpress.com,

I have a question concerning installing software like SolidWorks and CATIA.

When I install programs like Photoshop or After Effects I usually create separate partitions on multiple hard drives. For instance:

HDD1:
'OS' partition
'Adobe' partition

HDD2
'Scratch disk' partition

HDD3 (data)
'Page file' partition
Data partition

HDD4
'Page file' partition
Data partition

I separate the scratch file and page file so they won't fight over the same free space on HDD1. Using multiple hard-drives divides the workloads and thus increases performance in my opinion.

(Separate Adobe and OS partitions on the same drive does not increase performance. I just prefer it, because I usually install the Master suite.)

Are there similar performance tweaks one can do when installing Solidworks or CATIA? Like installing OS on one HDD and CATIA on another? Can you install CATIA and SolidWorks on the same HDD?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am the CAD manager for a design group of 8. We are looking into upgrading our computers to be able to accommodate our 3D modeling needs. We primarily use AutoCAD and CADWorx for piping and vessel design. We do not use surfaces or rendering. My question is, what CPU/GPU combination should I be looking into for high performance orbit/zoom/pan/refresh? Our price point is below $2000 and we would like to get a comparable Laptop as well.
Thanks

Hi,

We just posted an article, “10 Reasons Most Computer Manufacturers Didn’t Make It” (http://www.myispfinder.org/ispblog/2012/10-reasons-most-computer-manufacturers-didnt-make-it/) . I thought I'd bring it to your attention in case you think your readers would find it interesting.
Either way, thanks for your time!

Cheers,

Hi,
I run Hyper-V and a VM running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with RDSH and want to run ITW's HomeBase on this server for 2 WAN users for security and logistics reasons. Will RemoteFX help for sessions instead of VDI? Dell says it only supports the nVidia Quadro 2000 on my R710. Do i really need this card? I already setup my server and software but have not tested with a WAN connection. This will happen tomorrow. Microsoft's posts about this are too confusing along with the same from Dell.
