CAMduct Opus

[jcarson]

Hello.
Our shop foreman, who has been using Vulcan for years, is now having difficulty making the switch to using Opus to layout custom patterns that he wants to burn.  Are there any third party addons that can make Opus less clunky to draw with? Any tutorials that could help with the transition?  Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Hi
If it hard to draw in CAMduct, you can use another sofware like AutoCAD and then import your drawing into CAMduct in dxf format.

No add-ons. No training materials that I can think of.

How complex are the parts they're trying to draw?

Here's a video that autodesk put out a while back, info still applies.

As stated above, the best way is using AutoCAD to lay out the parts then importing via DXF

Lyle, you mentioned Autodesk in the same sentence. Is it even worth clicking on the link? :-)

Lol. Technically, Enceptia did the videos for Autodesk, I was trying to be PC. There is some good content in those videos, basic stuff but still worth watching for new users IMO.
