Quick Access Toolbar

With the release of AutoCAD LT 2009 there have been many changes. One noticeable difference is the Quick Access Toolbar located in the top left of the main screen.

I created my own workspace & well, it disappeared. Here's how you add your own buttons to it. Open the CUI & drag from the command area to the Quick Access Toolbar, located under your created profile. Once there they will show up in the title area of AutoCAD LT 2009.

Book Recommendation

I recently purchased a new book. I have bragged on Robert Green in the past & now I think they will keep coming. Since becoming a CAD Manager I have found that I have trouble focusing on what's important. His book helps to get you on track & on task to becoming a Expert CAD Manager.

AutoCAD LT 2009

Well, the next release of AutoCAD LT is just about to ship, here is a link to the preview guide. I recently had the chance to look at the full version & well, it was a shock to the system. The interface has changed quite dramatically, of course you can always tweak & make it look like the old versions but where's the fun in that. I like to hear some comments after you take a look at the preview guide.

AU Overview 2007

AU in one word, OVERWHELMING!! The training was excellent, networking great, walking tiring. I was able to attend most of the classes I wanted to go to. I registered late & many of the classes were full by the first week. I sat through many CAD Manager classes. The classes were taught by Robert Green. If you get a chance to attend one of his classes, thru AU or AUGI CAD Camp, I suggest you get down there. I'll post more when I get home.

Later,

AU Day 3

Well, I have survived another day at AU!! I have learned much on this trip so far. Things like when you are up $20.00 at the craps table it's time to call it a day. This knowledge came to me after I lost it plus the original $20.00 I bet. Seriously, The training here is really good. Yesterday I attended 3 classes, Today I have 5. I learned a little more about the CUI & I'll share those things when I get a little more time. I'm off to my next class. Talk with you later.
