Not to worry. It’s not too late to have the best of the content come to you. Including the LIVE recording of my first ever class at Autodesk University…

What does a good set of drawings look like to you?
Since starting my new job, I have been working hard to understand the needs of our internal customers – but there is a group that is harder to reach… YOU!
At least, those of you Architects, Engineers and Designers who are responsible for reviewing shop drawings or submittal drawing sets.
So, let me ask you – What do you look for when you review a set of drawings? What makes your heart leap with joy as you turn the page? What makes you grind your teeth in frustration? I’d really like to know…
A big thank you to Curtis Waguespack and Sybex publishing for providing me with three copies of ‘Mastering Inventor 2013′ to give away this week.

Congratulations – You made it! I’m sure that your going to have a great time an learn heaps. But if you haven’t been to Autodesk University before, where should you start?

Some time in the past (I don’t quite remember how) I heard about an event run by AUGI, called ’CAD Camp’.
This was a big turning point for me. What an eye opener. I learned more in one afternoon from great tutors such as Matt Murphy and Robert Green than I had in months of trying to teach myself.
But this story doesn’t end there. At CAD Camp we were given a discount voucher for an event called ‘Autodesk University’. ‘What the hell’ – I thought ‘Why not’ (I was unmarried and had no kids at the time).
I attended AU in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and boy, was it worth every penny. I can’t describe to you how much fun it was to hang out with thousands of other CAD geeks, learning from the best of the best and getting all the inside information on the latest technologies from Autodesk.
The training I received at AU has been fundamental to my work and career. I literally wouldn’t be where I am today without it. So it won’t surprise you to know that I’ve been scheming a way of getting back to AU ever since.
Well this year, I finally made it…
