[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Help! I forget the password when I drawing use a CAD software!?
I use a CAD software of GStarICAD, I use the encryption, but I forgot the password! I drawed for almost 2 hours.Is there anything I can do rather than giving up and start again?
I downloaded and trial used the drawing CAD software, the encryption is just same as AutoCAD. I think there is no way to get the drawing back.However,you can go to their website and ask for support.
To understand what a paper to CAD conversion is you must first understand what CAD is. These three letters represent Computer Aided Design or Drafting. In the past about ten or more years ago the main form of technical drawing or drafting was done with several different instruments that would perform task like measuring, creating arcs and circles, offsetting lines that are parallel and perpendicular, and creating any type of line you can imagine. Nowadays we use CAD to handle all of this work due to the precision, accuracy, and general ease of design it allows. In the past all of the designs whether architectural, mechanical, civil and a number of other technical drawings would be drawn by hand on a set of blueprints or paper. These blueprints entail all the necessary information to correctly design the intended project, but nowadays the industry standard is CAD. So in other words this means there is a lot of blueprints that need to be updated, and this is where you get the phrase paper to CAD conversion. When a drafter gets a set of blueprints to be converted to a CAD file he or she will go about designing the technical drawing like they normally would. A correct set of blueprints should contain a top, front, left, right, back, and bottom view along with an orthographic view or in other words a 3D perspective drawing which gives the object depth and a sense of reality. In some cases all of these views are not used primarily because all the necessary information can be found without one of the views. Special notes are also part of the blueprints and provide information to the designer or draftsmen that cannot be seen by just looking at the different views. When working with CAD software it will design the old boring 2D line and give them the 3D features you need to fully understand the object. This software is widely used in CNC machines where the information provided within the CAD drawing file will tell the CNC software how to design the part it's working on. The ability to simply upload a file and have a mold making machine develop a mold for production is very useful. A good advantage for CAD compared to a 2D Blueprint is that changes can be made at anytime throughout the design process in case a mistake is made, or the design changes from something like the allotted tolerance, width of a casing, or size of a screw. When a Draftsmen works with paper or blueprints they have to give it a rub with a good old eraser to correct any mistakes, and they still can't go back and fix one view and have them all update instantly. There are a number of reasons why companies are throwing out the old blueprints and investing in updated CAD files. Paper to CAD conversion will remain to be a part of the drafters duties well into the future until every design is finally updated, and no paper blueprints remain. The fact that most production machinery gathers it's design information from CAD is another contributing factor to these paper to CAD conversions.

San Rafael, Calif.-based Autodesk recently announced the next version of its landmark AutoCAD application, this time called AutoCAD 2010. The Test Center spent some time looking at the Release Candidate beta, which launched Tuesday.
Installation isn't any different from most applications, with the typical defaults being fine for most users. The program can be installed on most versions of Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3 and Windows Vista with Service Pack 1. An application called AutoCAD VBA Enabler must also be installed afterward.
The first thing that jumps out at you when AutoCAD 2010 opens up is the large ribbon interface at the top of the screen. Introduced in the 2009 version, 2010's ribbon is chock-full of options that make it easy to find just about every tool or setting necessary. As reviewers were new to the AutoCAD world, the updated ribbon menus made experimenting with the program a little less daunting.
Since this was a downloaded beta release, there weren't any manuals (print or electronic) to help guide us, so the explanatory menus were helpful in navigating around.
After experiencing the tutorials in Autodesk's newest iteration of its Inventor Suite, we were disappointed not to find any built into this application. The help file did contain a link to tutorials on the company's Web site, but those hadn't been updated to the latest version yet. We suspect this will change when the program goes live.
Without any background using it, AutoCAD was a bit overwhelming for us. Still, we quickly figured out how to create basic three-dimensional objects and change their textures. As with Inventor, intuitive tools allow the user to manipulate the design in a 3-D environment and view it from any position or angle. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to learn how to experience all of the capabilities of this powerhouse.
Many of the new features are improvements of existing elements and include free-form design tools, constraint-based parametric drawing tools and enhanced PDF support. In addition, the program now supports 3-D printing.
Autodesk Design Review 2010 is also available as a free download, and allows for an all-digital design review process between team members.
Overall, in our short time learning to use AutoCAD 2010, it is clear that Autodesk is continuing to give its users what they want (or need). It is a mature, robust application that, although not for the layman, is designed to serve the needs of those who have a use for it. At the time of this writing, price and availability had not been announced.
