If you’ve been keeping up with the blogs, you’ve probably already read your share about parametric constraints/drafting, contextual ribbon, 3D modeling, and the like. Not to say those topics aren’t appreciated additions to AutoCAD, but to me sometimes the little…
I just recently returned home from San Francisco, CA where I was privileged enough to join some of the most popular AutoCAD bloggers in the blogosphere for the AutoCAD 2010 release event in San Francisco. Although we stayed incredibly busy…
Aside from a few odds and ends, I have finished packing & am incredibly excited to be travelling to San Francisco, CA. Tomorrow (Thursday 2/5/09) I will join some of the most esteemed bloggers in the AutoCAD blogosphere for a…
