CAD News and a couple handy tips!

I never did get a chance to post while I was on vacation. Yep, you guessed it. Too busy relaxing. Ah.

I'll be taking another week off at the end of the month... in order to recover from coming back to work after having taken that two weeks off.

Now, on to the CAD stuff...

One of the things we are working on is more than one Top 10 list per year! We are hoping that up to three times per year you will be able to vote on your favorite wish list items! These will be presented to Autodesk throughout the year so they can work these into the design process. We are also looking at streamlining the way you submit your wishes. Just fill out a quick form and that's it. There will also be a thread created to discuss the wish if necessary. With a little bit of luck, you will see these changes very soon. – brenda richardson, autocad community wishlist manager

To run, simply double click on CADManagerControl.exe. If you have more than one Autodesk software on your system, you will be asked which seat of software you want to modify.
