| CAD Manager's Guide to Implementing 3D CAD |
Transitioning your company from 2D AutoCAD to 3D tools like BIM, mechanical modeling, or civil modeling tools is always tough - but you already knew that. In this session we'll learn the key factors of 3D work process success: User transition, software transition, IT transition, training, standards and management support. We'll use a chronological approach taking you from planning to budgeting to implementation to training. Along the way, real world tips on how to manage resistance to change and management hesitancy will be presented as well. No matter where you are in the 2D to 3D migration process this class will give you the knowledge to do so with maximum speed and minimal errors. |

| Customizing AutoCAD with LISP, Palettes and CUI's |
If you manage AutoCAD based tools you're already aware that they can be customized using AutoLISP and CUI files but are you aware of how they can work together to truly optimize your AutoCAD environment? In this session we'll use an imaginary company's AutoCAD installation and find out how CUI files, tool palettes and AutoLISP can be interlinked to customize and control AutoCAD for many users on the network. To control the user experience we'll examine how CUI customization, enterprise files, networked tool palettes, registry interaction and custom ACADDOC.LSP files can combine to provide an elegant level of control for AutoCAD based tools. Best of all, you can download the course files for the imaginary company so you can start implementing the techniques you learn in class at your company the next day. If you want to get rolling with customization but have been hesitant to do so, you'll want to attend this session. |
