About CADproTips

My name is Sam Lucido. I have been using AutoCAD since Release 8 (1987).  I started using the software to draft layouts and site plans for a small parking company in Wixom, Michigan. I continued to work with AutoCAD moving into the environmental engineering field in the 1990s and completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer-Aided Design in April 2000 at Eastern Michigan University. Since then, I have provided training, support, and customization in engineering and design using AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and other programs within the Autodesk AEC Collection.

I am an Autodesk Expert Elite Alumni and a top-rated speaker at Autodesk University. You can find all my classes and videos presented at Autodesk University on the Autodesk Knowledge Network (AKN), including over 125 screencasts using AutoCAD and Civil 3D. Over the past four years, I have authored more than 15 articles in AUGIWorld magazine.
