Welcome to Best CAD Tips — where I share the hard-earned lessons, shortcuts, and “wish I’d known this sooner” moments from my years in the AutoCAD and Revit trenches.

When I started out, I remember how overwhelming it felt — too many tools, too many commands, and not enough time to figure them all out. I made my share of mistakes, but I also learned from others and discovered techniques that made my work faster, easier, and a lot more enjoyable.

I learned that CAD is not a chore, but a unique language and means of communication. As CAD designers, we are  essential players in a much larger creative process!

That’s why every tip you find here is chosen for one reason: it works in the real world. Whether you’re sketching your first lines in AutoCAD, fine-tuning a complex Revit model, or managing a team of CAD pros, you’ll find practical, proven advice that can help you shine.

My mission is simple: to help you become the person everyone turns to when the project gets challenging. Browse our tutorials and resources for every skill level. If you’re new, you’ll get clear, friendly guidance to get you started without the jargon overload. If you’re experienced, you’ll discover fresh techniques that save you hours and make you look like a hero in the office.

And you’re not doing this alone — we have a growing community of CAD enthusiasts, designers, engineers, and managers who share your passion for digital design. We trade insights, swap stories, and celebrate each other’s wins.
