Welcome to The CAD Geek Wiki[edit | edit source]

Welcome to the digital workbench of Donnie "The CAD Geek" Gladfelter.

This wiki exists to collect, structure, and share the knowledge that powers real-world design: tools, tricks, standards, and insights that make AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and other Autodesk tools work for you, not the other way around.

What This Wiki Is[edit | edit source]

A knowledge base for CAD and design professionals

A living reference for tools, techniques, and templates
A companion to The CAD Geek Blog — but more structured, nerdier, and easier to update at midnight

Where to Begin[edit | edit source]

Explore by category:

Software Applications Pages about AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, and other tools
Tools & Scripts LISP routines, Dynamo graphs, and other customizations
Documentation & Standards Title blocks, file naming conventions, and project setup tips
Autodesk University Class resources, speaker tips, and event history

About the Author[edit | edit source]

I’m Donnie Gladfelter (The CAD Geek), educator, speaker, and recovering production drafter. This wiki helps me (and hopefully you) keep the important stuff organized, documented, and discoverable — because knowing where you wrote it down is half the battle.
