Layout (Rhino vs Autocad)

Rhino Rhino for Windows

I’ve been using Autocad for Layouts.
When layouts appeared in V4, I had not idea what was it for and exactly what it could do. I didn’t need that feature at the moment, and there was no Webminars at the time.

  1. Where can I find tutorials about it (V5)?
  2. Does it do as good as Autocad?

Joddy, layouts in Rhino are VERY similar to layouts in acad. You create a page size in layout properties, and create detail views. Double click inside the detail views to edit and zoom around that detail. Go to the properties for the detail to ‘lock’ the zoom of the detail once you have it set, this makes editing super easy w/o fear of losing your spot. Each detail can have different shade settings.
Lots more to play with, look them up in the help or google, there are tutorials.

Yes, it prompted me to go through this again. I believe I skimmed it a little too quickly the first time! So thanks.

Thanks for replying.
Yes, it will be recorded, encoded, uploaded to Vimeo and posted here:
