    Ministry of Public Works – Government of Bermuda

    The Ministry of Public Works is responsible for maintaining Bermuda’s critical assets and providing essential services. The Ministry manages and maintains public lands, buildings, highways, roads, water supplies and parks, provides essential services such as waste collection, sewage, land title and registration and land valuation.

    Project Profile

    In Bermuda, the Works and Engineering/Estates departments within the Ministry of Public Work, Government of Bermuda upgraded from Civil 3D 2011 to 2018 overnight. This sudden transition required their 8-person team to get up to speed in record time. Their training needs ranged from basic to advanced, and they also wanted to optimize data interchange between surveyors and the team.

    Testimonial

    Because we are a branch of government, we needed to get three estimates for the work required. We reached out to multiple service providers in the U.S. and Canada. SolidCAD was incredibly responsive. They provided an intricately detailed proposal, and their prices were competitive. This was a remarkable engagement from start to finish, and the onsite trainer relayed his knowledge expertly.

    Posted on by SolidCAD

    Autodesk has release the latest iteration of their flagship drafting software, namely AutoCAD 2020.  Click here to see Autodesk’s page detailing what’s new.  Go to the Autodesk Account page to download the software of get it from the Desktop App.

    Here are the features of note in this release:

    • There is no DWG format change.  Files back to 2018 are compatible with this release.
    • New installation technology allows for an install time about half that of previous releases, when a Solid State Drive is in use.
    • A new block palette exists containing all of the blocks within the current drawing.  The INSERT command no longer displays the usual block insert dialog box, it now runs the BLOCKSPALETTE tool, displaying the new blocks palette.  The new CLASSICINSERT command displays the old block insert dialog.

    • The purge command now indicates the reason why some objects cannot be purged.  This has been a request for many releases.

    • Use the Quick measure tool to more efficiently measure objects.

    • Access to drawings saved to online services such as Box and Dropbox has been streamlined.
