I agree. Call Autodesk at 800-964-6432 and get the names of a couple of ATCs near you. Give the manager a call and team up with them. Good luck! Barbara Bowen Autodesk Customer Education & Training
Guy, Let people know where you're located and perhaps there is an ATC near you to team up with. Many forum members will be at Autodesk University in SF this week so you may have to wait for an answer. Good luck. -Ted Boardman

VR and Education
Message #194961
I'm writing a report about VR and social consequences and reactions of educations. I'm very interested in any projects, publications and any hints. Thomas (Rosengasse 3, Germany-94032 Passau, E-Mail: 100714,2134)
Dale – You will probably have someone answer you here in this forum but ACAD is supported over on the ACAD Forum. You will probably want to join that forum since all of the discussions about ACAD take place there. The AMMEDIA forum is for discussion of Autodesk's multimedia products…

I have recently purchased The Autodesk collection, which includes AutoCad r12 for both DOS and Windows. Although I have been using Generic CADD for some time, I am having a slow time converting the brain over to AutoCAD commands. I am using the DOS version of AutoCAD. Is there a…

Message #188217
Thank You for the information.
Thanks Barbara, your info will be great help. Very pleased to meet & talk with you. Will let you know if anything else comes up. Thanks again, Jim
Thanks Brian I will call them Ed
Ed, Sorry, I don't have access to any of the emperical data you were talking about. You perhaps could get similar information from our sales literature. Call 800-964-6432 and see what they could send you. Hopefully other forum members will jump in and point you to other sources of data.…
Hello – You can call the administrator, Drake Prometric, and request a brochure. They also have available for sale a book called "R12 Exam Prep Manual" by Alan Kalameja. The book is full of sample test drawings and questions. Drake's number is 1-800-995-EXAM (3926). If you need any more help,…

Ms. Bowen, How can I find out more about the proficiency exam that a new hire might be asked to take when interviewing for CAD work using ACADr12. I am just learning the program and would be interested in obtaining samples of the exams which might be used. Thanks for…

We are funded to build a new center of Allan Hancock College. I teach, among other things, traditional animation. Ive been trying to figure out a way to start a computer animation class but our equipment funds have been non existant for years. With the new center I may have…
Kevin – Download the library file in Take5 library that will have the key word FORENSIC in it. That is a list of the forensic animators who either hang around this forum or who are known to those people. They will know about seminars. Anne
Forensic Seminars
Message #186159
Do you happen to have any material (i.e- an outline) of your forensic animmation seminars? I will be putting on a few local seminars dealing with computer animation for litigation purposes, and I would like to gear it towards 3DS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance -Kevin…
Thank you both, I'll give both ideas a go. See you on the Take5 section. Cheers, Nick.
Nick, The local Autodesk office should be able to tell you about authorized training centers. UNITED KINGDOM tel: +44 483 303 322 fax: +44 483 304 556 Autodesk, Ltd. Cross Lanes Guildford, Surrey GU1 1UJ England
Nick – You might read some of the message headers in Take5 Section – our general chat section. A while back there were several UK architects and engineers chatting and they might know 3DS courses for you. Anne
#Any 3DS courses in UK ?
Message #181930
Could you or anyone else please tell me if they know of any good 3DS courses in the UK, (near London if pos, but anywhere would do). Thanks in advance, Nick
>> Thanks for listening
>> Hope that helps some.
>> techniques and tools are necessary but subordinate to thinking process.
The fact you know 3DS well and have minimum background in Acad could be seen as an advantage. Each program is very different, as you know, and students should concentrate on 3DS in a 3DS class. DXF import and a discussion of face normals/vertex welding is about all I ever…
Thanks for the syllabus. Classes start in early September. They haven't offered me the job yet, and I'm not totally sure what they want. If they are looking for an ACAD->3DS expert (which would make sense), it ain't me. I have an associate who is an ACAD whiz, who handles…
>> Ive come to the conclusion after 17 years of teaching that techniques and tools >> are necessary but subordinate to thinking process. Right on! Thanks for the insights. I would really love to do this up right, with much more of an artistic and open-eyed approach… but unfortunately it…
Paul I teach animation and the struggle for many students in both traditional and computer animation is to think cinamatically. Its like silkscreen students who become so focused on screens, inks and masks that they loose sight of the fundamentals of color and composition.There is so much detail in learning…
>> two nights a week for about 2 1/2 hours each night, for about 9 weeks.
The class would be at a local tech school, two nights a week for about 2 1/2 hours each night, for about 9 weeks. Best guess for ages is 19-35. Most students will have been involved in some AutoCAD classes, taking part in a drafting program. A few might be…
Paul I don't believe anything has been written specifically as a r2 teaching aid. What is the class duration and what age level? It would probably be effective to go in each day and introduce them to a basic concept, Object/Element/Face/Vertex relationship, for instance. Then give them a couple of…
>> It might be helpful to let us know what versions of software you're using, as well as the age group, etc.
Hi Paul: It might be helpful to let us know what versions of software you're using, as well as the age group, etc. If you're using AutoCAD R12, I might recommend Terrence Shumaker's "AutoCAD and it's Applications" text. The 3D coverage is decent, but it is an overwhelming book since…
#Teaching 3DSR2
Message #180765
"Make $10,000 a week from home!" Great lead-in for an ad, huh? I have been approached to teach a beginning 3-D class at a local tech school. Is there a contact person at Autodesk (or a forumite) with whom I can correspond about the various issues that will go along…
Thanks Anne for the number and your speedy reply. I'm warming to Autodesk more every day.
Thanks Roger I'll do that.

Thanks Anne but is there a Uk number I can ring?
Sally… Also call Journey Education Marketing 1-800 874 9001. They have terrific deals on Adesk products Roger C. -Roger Cusson [Vanier-IAS
Sally – Call 1-800-538-6401 the main customer service number for Autodesk and ask for the Student Referral office. Someone there will be able to help you. Lots to learn by hanging out here. Anne
#Student Discount?

Does anyone know if there is a student discout available for autodesk products. Only I'm only a poor student and can't afford the price asked for 3d studio 🙂 Thanks Sally

Hi everybody- This is a long shot I know but what the heck! Anybody know any 3DS users or educational centers in Lima, Peru? I'm making a trip to Lima, Peru to meet visual artists and look at art June 19 – 25. I'm going to meet with the administrators…
Klaus – I suggest you ask your question in the AutoCAD Forum (GO ACAD). This is the Autodesk Multimedia Forum (GO AMMEDIA). When you GO ACAD, post your message in Section 12 "Plotting/Printing" and include the version of AutoCAD you're trying to plot from and exactly what happens when you…
