For those of us who spend far too much time on autocad:
Signs your using AutoCAD too much:
1. you find yourself pushing the space bar instead of the enter bar at the end of sending a message on gmail
2. you know exactly where the tr and ex buttons are
3. you know what OSNAP is
4. YOUR FRIENDS HAVE ACCEPTED THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPITALS DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE YELLING AT THEM
5. You know what each of the F button on top of the keyboard do without even thinking about it
6. You start using AutoCAD hot key commands in other programs 10 times then realize its not AutoCAD your working in.
7. You try to zoom in and out with you roller ball with every other program you use.
8. Instead of doing simple math of a right triangle, you use AutoCAD to do the work for you.
9) When you keep pressing the middle button hoping to drag the page around.
10) When you qsave your word document by accident.
11) When you have used the saveall then exit command to shut down autocad rather than file..save..
12) When you start to press ESC ESC in every other program to undo what you just done

ReplyDeletesign you are using autocad too much: you spend half the night in a semi-dreamlike state making a 3D model of your newborn in your sleep, in response to the stress of meeting a deadline.
ReplyDeleteDreaming of cutting profile and running a template... I need a vacation...
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I totally do #8. The only problem is that my coworkers know I do this and they call me to figure stuff out for them.
ReplyDeleteJen that's funny. I know a guy that uses CAD for everything. He would use Mtext instead of a word processor, or draw tables instead of a spreadsheet.
