![]() But, then again, if you're anything like us, you've probably spent most of your time getting to grips with AutoCAD's capabilities rather than its history. In this guide, we'll examine AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT-looking at the differences in functionality, capability and much more.Īs one of the front-running products in the CAD industry, you're already familiar with Autodesk's flagship product, AutoCAD. Autodesk created a 'lite' version in AutoCAD LT to broaden its customer base further. Offering solutions to various industries-from architecture to engineering to entertainment-there's no way to avoid it. None have surpassed the popularity and power of Autodesk's flagship product, AutoCAD. A key player in the evolution of CAD, Autodesk has since released a range of top software packages. Since AutoCAD's inception in 1982, Autodesk has been a significant and resounding presence in the CAD industry. This week, we're turning our heads to look at CAD giant Autodesk and its most popular products. For this reason, we set out to create comparison guides for the top CAD programs on the market. With conflicting information-or none at all-there's no natural way of finding out each program's capabilities. Not sure how well it works out of the box (we shrunk/modified a lot of the parts libraries).Logicle IT knows how difficult it can be for CAD enthusiasts and professionals to determine the differences between CAD packages. For me, the system had already been setup by someone knowledgeable - not sure if I would have time/inclination to set it up myself. The bad news: my opinion is that it looks tricky to setup. builds on your ACAD knowledge (competing products require you to learn how to draw again) We are able to export the BOM to our MRP system. catalog parts are picked from a database (so you always describe the same way and don t make typo's on part numbers) ![]() automatic cross referencing and sheet-to-sheet signal linking ![]() You can quickly hop around sheets that belong together. sheets in a project are grouped via the WDP project file. I think I timed myself on one project (maybe 30-40 sheets) and I think I took 3 days to fully renumber, retag, and cross reference. I used to use vanilla Autocad, and did the cross referencing and wire numbering by hand. ![]() You don’t need a sledgehammer to crack a walnut but you are not going to drive a railroad spike with a nutcracker. On the other hand, if your project only requires a few sheets (B size) and have one or two panel layouts your probably OK with what you have. The report packages bundled with ACE 2008 can do the same checking anytime you click on the little button. When a schematic and panel layout is ‘complete’, it can take several of us a couple of days to check wiring to/from call outs, component location call outs, I/O tables, Bill Of Material line items, etc. Don’t forget all of the multi-pin connectors and multi-conductor cables and of course a pile of terminal blocks all connected to a free standing enclosure with at least one PLC, servo drives, power supplies …. Our machines can have over 1000 sensors, 6 or 7 J-Boxes with remote I/O, multiple vision inspection areas, not to mention a few hundred feet of wire way.

I think I would have been so flustered without all of that.ĬDM: I love that you have matching tattoos that Margot Robbie did for you guys! Was it nice working on a film where the cast-members became so close-knit and almost like a family? I had a lot of fun filming all the action scenes because I had a little bit of training. KAREN: Yes! I used to fight in the forms division and that really helped out with learning the fight choreography I think, because a lot of the things that we learned it was about the intent behind every move, and otherwise it just becomes this dance-choreography kind of fight. It’s an exciting time to be in Hollywood right now because there is a shift going on right now with the African-American actress and actor community coming together, and I think we need more of that for Asians as well.ĬDM: Before ‘Suicide Squad’ you already had a brown striped belt in karate - did you find this helped you in preparation for the intensive training that went into the film? It’s nice and fresh to see different body-types and different races being portrayed on TV. Even on Halloween it was hard to decide what to be when none of the Disney Princesses are really… I mean you have Mulan, and that’s about it. KAREN: I’ve said this many times, but I think it’s great to have a variety of different races and diversity, and seeing that on screen- because growing up in the States I didn’t really have a role-model to look up to. I love both sides of it, but right now I’m enjoying this side.ĬDM: You said about Katana, "I hope that Katana is a hero that little girls can look up to." Do you think it’s important for young girls to have role-models to look up to, especially in an industry where female roles in movies are so often over-sexualised and degraded? Then I was a reporter for a sports show in Japan and I still do that today, so that was starting when I was 18 and I’m 24 now. ![]() KAREN: I started off on a show on Disney when I was in middle-school, I think I did that for five-ish years. I think from that though I got a crash-course on not getting nervous around superstars, but yeah it was a really unique experience. KAREN: Oh of course, it’s interesting because now I’ve been on both ends, and I know how hard it can be to interview someone, especially remembering questions and sometimes you’re nervous. ![]() Do you find that has given you a unique perspective now that you’re the one being interviewed all the time? ![]() I think that every character is somewhat an extension of yourself and so because of that, having different actors or actresses play the same role even if the character description is the same, you bring your own flavour to it, and I think that is what is so fun about doing this as a career, you can have so much freedom after allowing yourself to have that freedom.ĬOUP DE MAIN: You used to be a TV reporter, interviewing the likes of Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom. We spoke to Karen Fukuhara while she was in New Zealand for Armageddon Expo, about asian representation in pop culture, working on ‘Suicide Squad’, and her acting career… She’s been involved in the world of film for a while though - and was previously a journalist, even interviewing the likes of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly.

The HDMI 2.1 offers greater bandwidth of up to 48 Gbps, which is a major improvement when compared to the previous HDMI versions. If your devices do not support HDMI 2.2 you, can still enjoy your HD content by selecting 720p or 1080p instead of HDR or 4K. The HDMI 2.2 cable offers resolutions of up to 4K (four times greater than HD), resulting in higher quality and sharper images.

HDMI 2.1 supports many high resolutions and refresh rates. Almost all 4K TV brands from 2014 and later have one or two HDMI inputs that support HDCP 2.2. Therefore, when purchasing a 4K TV, consider HDMI/HDCP 2.2 compatibility. For instance, some of the first 4K TVs, released in 2013, did not support HDCP 2.2.Īdditionally, they couldn’t be updated because HDCP 2.2 necessitates a hardware update, which a firmware update won’t fix. Therefore, you will need hardware components such as an HDCP transmitter and receiver. Any gadget that doesn’t support HDCP 2.2 cannot be upgraded. If a transmitting device transmits HDCP-protected content, the receiver should also be able to support HDCP to receive it correctly. To play a 4K video from your Blu-ray player or media player, you need to ensure that both your media player and your TV are compatible with HDCP version 2.2. On the other hand, HDMI 2.2 is not compatible with electronic devices that used earlier HDMI versions. Even if you haven’t upgraded your video/audio device, your cables will work perfectly with your current devices. The connectors for the HDMI 2.1 are the same shape and size as HDMI 2.0. Simply locate the HDMI port in your device and connect the HDMI 2.1 cable. Switching to HDMI 2.1 is a straightforward process. You can also connect earlier versions of sources like a Blu-ray player to your new 4K TV and enjoy your HD picture. This means you can transmit digital audio and video from a computer to a digital television compatible with earlier HDMI versions. One of the key features of HDMI 2.1 is its backward compatibility with hardware electronic devices regarding 4K video. HDMI 2.2: What’s the Difference?

It achieves this by enabling digital integration, which connects the source and the display. Using an authentication key, it is designed to prevent unauthorized copying of contents, especially the 4K Ultra HD. HDMI 2.2 is the same as the High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP 2.2) technology. As a result, the cables handle more traffic on the digital space highway and configure the traffic so that connected devices maintain uninterrupted dialogue. ![]() Some improvements included the resolution, capability, and display stream compression.īeyond this, HDMI 2.1 has been designed to open up more communication lines between devices connected from either side of the cable.
