End of the year round up 2011

2011 has been a pretty exciting year for the CAD Setter Out. Some of the highlights have included speaking at BIM show live, writing for Shaan Hurley, Steve Bedder and AUGI and having a number of my posts Tweeted by Lynn Allen :)

I began illustrating the ‘Cadaroo‘ cartoon with Curt Moreno, who made his début at AU (Cadaroo – not Curt).

I also joined Twitter, and I have made some great friends and contacts. Here’s a big happy Christmas and a merry new year to the #MadCADBunch :D

I’ve been enjoying running the CAD Setter Out immensely , and I look forward to continuing into the new year. It’s my ambition next year to compile the best of my AutoCAD tips into a book.

I look forward to finding some more opportunities to speak or present on CAD, BIM and the state of drawing and design in the construction industry.

To everyone who has supported the CAD Setter out over the last year – THANK YOU!
