The primary selling point of the is speed. Tasks that would take 20 minutes with native tools (like creating a spiral staircase) can be accomplished in 20 seconds. The tools automate the repetitive clicking and copying that often leads to repetitive strain injuries and boredom.

Instead of designing, he just typed numbers. Rise, run, width, number of steps. A concrete staircase spiraled into existence. No flair. No concept. Just code obeying math. Features utility tools for filleting edges, extending lines,

  1. Hi Andy,

    I was an EMC test engineer (4 yrs.) and then an EMC design engineer for Cisco Systems in San Jose, CA for 18.5 yrs. and I retired in 2011. I now would like to come out of retirement and I think that I would like to work again in EMC testing. Do you have training that would allow me to apply for EMC testing positions? I am not affiliated with any company. Specifically, I am interested in the cost of any potential training for someone who is not affiliated with any company.

    Regards,

    John Hess

  2. This has been a great resource for me as a new EMC Test Engineer, and I’m sure that I will continue to come back to it. Thank you!
