What people are saying “I have known Nate Holt for over 10 years now and have worked with him directly and indirectly through my former employer Rockwell-Automation. Nate Holt has always come through with the programming and or add-on utilities to make our AutoCAD Electrical environment and interfaces much more proficient for the users.” – Dave Shood, Hy-Tech Controls, Inc. “I have known Nate since 1999 and in all those years he has impressed me not only for the excellent service, support, training, and vision that he has provided to our company, but also for his character, passion, honesty, and integrity. Having had the fortunate chance to work with Nate directly on automation and customization endeavors, I have and will continue to highly recommend him and his team to every person I meet who has interest in taking their current electrical design processes to the next level. Nate is truly a legend in the electrical cad and automation arena!” -Wayne Gatlin, Tegron “I have known Nate since the days of ComputerVision CADDS4x. When he introduced Toolbox-WD (1995 time-frame), I was a beta-tester and have been on each rendition ever since. He developed many outstanding add-on utilities so that AutoCAD and his software could do what we wanted it to do, the way we wanted it. “Father of AutoCAD Electrical” is an understatement. Nate knows the business inside and out and he is very personable. If you want higher productivity and more accurate design data and reports, then N8 Consultants should be an integral partner in your “Design and Documentation” process.” -Charles Waugh, 3M Master Designer CAD Administrator - IT Analyst “AutoCAD Electrical ‘out of the box’ offers some significant improvements in productivity in the Electrical CAD world. But - ACADE still has some shortcomings. Enter Nate Holt, architect of the ECAD design environment within AutoCAD. Rockwell has been with Nate from the 1st introduction of Toolbox/WD, the migration into VIA Developments product offering and onto AutoDESK’s purchase and launch of ACADE. Nate has been with us all the way offering insights into increasing the functionality of ACADE through custom programming, consultation on implementation and long term planning as we push the ACADE product to ever productive gains. Our user base has grown to over 300 users and our use of ACADE may be somewhat different then most users of ACADE as we drive the product through API automation and not just through ACADE’s interactive design capabilities. Custom programming is a must in this environment and Nate has been able to fulfill our needs to enhance ACADE for our use.” -Glenn Buttke Rockwell Automation “I first came in contact with Nate Holt when I was working at Computervision in the middle eighty’s. Our expert on the CV CADDS 4X based Plant Electrical package had left and I had inherited product management responsibility for this solution. We had a major customer who needed some customization and we brought in Nate to bail us out. After all he had developed this solution while a user of Computervision CADDS at Owens-Corning. After I left Computervision to join Autodesk, I had contact with Nate and strongly encouraged him to come up with an AutoCAD based solution for controls wiring diagrams. He did indeed and this eventually became the solution that we at Autodesk Market today as AutoCAD Electrical . I have also collaborated with Nate in my tenure at Autodesk. If you plan on deploying AutoCAD Electrical and need the best outside help with your training and implementation, Nate Holt comes with my highest recommendation. In addition, if you are looking for general help in automating any kind of AutoCAD based schematic tasks, Nate Holt is a great resource.” -Frank Moore, Senior Subject Matter Expert, Autodesk AEC Division “… the man that I've long deemed as the father of electrical CAD, Nate Holt.” – Scott Reese, AutoCAD Product Line Manager, Autodesk, Inc. "When you’re looking for the best Nate Holt is above the rest. Nate has been one of the greatest resources our company has been privileged to work with. Why go to someone who just knows the software, Nate helped create it." -Samuel Cox, Johnson Controls “Thank you for all of your assistance. You have a lot of integrity; you do good work and deal straight up when there are problems.” –James Cameron, Dematic Corp. “When Aceri Netherlands started with AutoCAD Electrical we quickly learned from Nate Holt skills and knowledge about AutoCAD Electrical. Nate is a great person to work with and he has a huge knowledge about lisp programming. We would recommend him for our team anytime.” -Gerald te Wierik “Adraft has always enjoyed working with you and I personally value your obvious knowledge of the product. We are a champion of AutoCAD Electrical and continually spread the word not only in our area but all over the country.” – Greg Fisher, Adraft, an Autodraft, Inc. Company
