Robert Green Sessions

(Robert Green, Independent CAD Consultant, Cadalyst Author & Contributing Editor)

Distilled from Robert’s popular Expert CAD Management book, this session is designed for the working CAD manager who wants to get a more organized, proactive CAD management environment established. This presentation will give you valuable ideas for assessing your current situation and building a corrective action plan to make things better. We’ll focus on getting organized (and staying that way), managing hardware and software environments, CAD standards enforcement, dealing with users and communicating both technically and financially with your senior management. Throughout the session you’ll compose an action item summary and a strategy matrix you can use as a task list when returning to the office. CAD managers of every discipline and experience level will find useful information in this fast moving class.

Are you responsible for training your CAD users but feel overwhelmed by the task? Are you under pressure to increase productivity? Are you in the hot seat for managing standards? If so, you’re not alone. In this session, we’ll cover the relationship between training and standards that allow you to gain productivity – solving all three problems at once! We’ll start with auditing your productivity sapping problems and then rapidly move into designing a training program that addresses the problems. As the training program emerges we’ll take time to examine the relationship between deficiencies and productivity loss. We’ll wrap it all up by talking about how to combine custom training materials with commercially available resources to build a multifaceted training and standards program.

Ever wonder what all the configuration options are in AutoCAD and how they might be of value to you? Ever think about how you might use basic AutoLISP functions to control how AutoCAD starts up? Have you ever wanted to get a handle on all the user profiles you use to manage your machines and get them standardized? Finally, do you wish you could get everyone on the same sheet of music by using centralized network control? If these topics interest you, you’ll want to attend this class. We’ll take a fast paced tour through the above topics and present practical examples of how to achieve control of your AutoCAD configuration.
