Uninstalls
Quick reminder… If for any reason you have to uninstall programs, remember last in, first out. Always uninstall Raster Design before uninstalling the base CAD programs. If you don’t, you will have a confused computer that refuses to let you uninstall the base program.Go to Source Read More
AU UK
I’ve recently had the opportunity to spend a week at AU in Vegas. It was a totally awesome experience. I don’t normally use the word “awesome” because I want to maintain the original meaning, but it fits the occasion. This was my 7th AU, & I honestly feel it is worth the cost. Problem is there are many Autodesk product users who live in the UK, &... Read More
Stippling
I just received a question that I thought would make a good topic.“Does anyone know how to “stipple” shade a drawing to be used in a design patent? I’ve heard of using a vector merge and RPENS, but i am unfamiliar with Raster Design. thanks! “ I’ve never used this, but can see where it could come in handy for shading. If you can find a hatch...

I’ve recieved requests for information for beginners & for using RD with the Civil Series of products from Autodesk. I’m not sure how much I... Read More
Reminders & Gotcha’s
I thought it would be good to have some notes & reminders of some RD gotcha’s. Most of my work is with black lines on a white background, but I also like to use this package for photo editing. I like to look for ways to push this program to see what it will do. Most of my tips will be geared toward the black & white, known to RD as bitonal images. Something that... Read More
I’m back….. I think.
I’ve been on the road & out of pocket for quite a while. One of my adventures was Autodesk University in Orlando, FL. It was filled with great people & great classes. There were about 5600 attendees & about 400 classes to choose from. Since this is geared toward Raster Design, I’ll tell you a little about the RD classes. There are classes from the... Read More
