Thanks for the great comments Geoffrey, we appreciate and value ALL the feedback we can get. Not sure why the certificates have been delayed, but we will ensure that this is looked after ASAP. Pat, can you make sure that Milt and NancyAn get this info and help you get…
Educating Management
Message #47038
Hi Scott. Great to see you tackle this VERY important topic. It always had this status but is certainly being raised to all new heights of late. I am the Technical Director of Learning Systems Group here at Autodesk, where I am responsible for customer learning and as such VERY…
Hi Sally! (and Mark too I assume!) Thanks for the hospitality and another chance to see your great facility. Congratulations on the new lab, it looks super! Thanks too for the hospitality during my all too short visit. Will look forward to getting more of your thoughts on curriculum development.…
Hi Robert. I see Milt is working at making connections with you. Gee, I must not be working him hard enough if he has time for actual realtime voice communications!! Do you have a "short list" of the specific pieces that you think would be most appropriate and valuable for…
MM equipment
Message #44140
Nothing substantiated yet re the details of the outcomes of the merger James. I would keep my eye on the "What's new" section over on the ACAD forum for the latest updates. Clearly there will need to be significant reorganizing of everything from products to people but this will take…
Tech Commander RGB?
Message #42862
Do you mean Robotel or RoboCAD Volker? The former is a great piece of video networking hardware, the latter is a competitive CAD software. Myself and others here know about both but as you can see we would need to knmow

With the recent merger of Softdesk and ASG I suspect you will likely get just what you are wishing for James! WW

Message #37620
………. (fill in the words of your choice!) Actually, I am off to Europe to look after several education and training meetings and concerns. Not sure how much time or access I will have to get on line from there, so don't expect replies from me till I get back…
I'M here now!
Message #37364
Great news John!! Guess where I am right now? Guess where my wife is? Sound familiar??!! Scarry isn't it!! How did the NY trip go? Keep us posted over on section 11 please, many will be anxious to hear about this conference and VR info in general. Who better to…
Hi Geoffrey! Sorry for the delays, please contact Nancy Angell at 415-491-8250 and she will be glad to help you out. wayne
John that is Roger! Not sure that he is online, certainly does not have any "presence" here. Why not give him a phone call and push him to get with it and join the revolution! wayne
Thanks for the "book review" roger. Care to send in this information to be included in one of our new "Learning Curve" newsletters that we will be publishing for LSG partners? Would make a great addition to this. You (and others) might want to contact John Morrison at the CAD…
ACAD 3-D Teaching Matrl.
Message #36136
Hi Randy. Saw your FAX just as I was leaving the office yesterday. What I did catch was that you did not have the ATK files. Not sure what is wrong with the files. Was there not a subdirectory on your disk called ATK? Oh well, I have zipped together…
student-price for 3DS?
Message #36135
Well, I am certainly no lawyer, but as I understand it the situation is that each country must establish and enforce its own copyright laws. Then there are all the details to do with taxes, tarifs, etc. When you think about it, it is very similar to any major purchase…
Gee, does it show that badly Paul? Yes, in a former life I was indeed a teacher. Still think that way and no doubt always will, but I am working from a different angle now to try to effect more and broader changes in education globally. (should be finished next…
Quick clarifications: R10 Student version = Addison Wesley = bookstores R11 (locked) = Autodesk = AER wayne
Almost Pat but you don't quite get the cigar yet. Please note everyone that this is just what it says a STUDENT version. It is NOT available to ANY labs or other use than STUDENTS. AND they don't want it because it has NO upgrade path. When the school buys…
Grusse Volker! I have been trying unsuccessfully to catch you by phone for over two weeks now (my schedule the problem not you!), to discuss several outstanding issues. Will add this one to the notes when we connect this week. wayne
Kerry, you can contact the CAD Institute at 602-437-0405 to get more information on their plans for this program in Virtual Reality. wayne
Thanks for the input Dennis, I don't think we are in much disagreement on any of this. AND afterall YOU are the one to be listened to as you are in the classroom and with the students. What the heck do I and this Wohlers character know about such things…
Isometrics & Dimensions
Message #33079
Ooooops!! Sorry that you got caught in the transition on this one Bob! Drake DOES now have these brochures and they can get them to you or you can leave your mailing address info on our hotline 415-491-8263 or you can use the FAX back system 707-794-1444 Document #794. NOTE…
[Continued] – work with individuals to identify their areas of strengths, interests, etc. and then follow through with helping them choose projects that match. You will always work MUCH harder on something you WANT to do and like to do and there are some amazing stories out there (I am…
Thanks for the input Paul. We are certainly looking into student versions of all our products and I will get a copy of this email to the appropriate people here. Please keep this feedback comming! We need and want everything you can offer. Would it be possible to get some…
Probably best to bring em with you I think. Check with Milt, this is all his "baby"!! Bringing them with you would enable you two (or more) to discuss, sending them straight to him would be less luggage? There. Was I as helpful as usual??!! wayne
Good thread folks! Let me add Dennis that I have it that there are only TWO kinds of dumb questions: 1. The one you do not ask when you do not know the answer. 2. The one you ask when you know the answer. The other comment to add is…
ACAD Manuals in Russian?
Message #32687
Hi Nicole! I have put in an email with this question to our European HQ office that looks after this region and will let you know as soon as I hear a reply. Check back again in about a week if you have not heard anything further. Thanks, wayne
Hi Joe. You might want to hold off on the ordering of the class set for just a bit. Alan and I are just completing the last details on the greatly improved, updated and expanded version of the AC Exam Prep Workbook and it will be available RSN! Feb for…

[Continued] Thanks again for the great responses. I will print it out and be sure it gets to the exam board as well. AlanK and DieterS are on the board so they will no doubt read it here as well. OK, who's next………………………. wayne
Hey Randy! Thanks sooooo much for the detailed response and setting such a great example for all the others. (he tactfully hints in the hope of more of the same pouring in now) This really is the kind of feedback we need and want to get as we continuously work…
Thanks for the info Roger. Will check it out on Monday. wayne PS. Congrats on the Greenville success. .500 batting for now!
Hey Paul! Thanks for taking the time to let us know that it has been useful to you and your students, great to hear it is working as intended. Any comments on how it could improve or any difficulties you or your students had in using this? What comm. software…

Hi Jeff and happy new year to ya! YES you will be getting certificates, NO you did not get missed they have not gone out. I was in a meeting again yesterday on this. Seems there is a combination of problems with getting new certificates printed with the new corporate…

Hi Randy. Happy New Year to you since we haven't seen each other since! Re the AC, well, based on the number of calls that we and Drake got on this you should have had LOTS of company in taking it this time around. Don't have the official number that…
Greetings Michael! Thanks for contacting us. I would enjoy the opportunity to share our past experiences, visions and plans for the future and an exploration of how we might be able to collaborate on mutually beneficial projects in 1993. Let me know if you would like to do so by…
Its Baaaaaaaack!!
Message #30266
Hi Terry, sorry I am not having much time to keep up with responses here. I am afraid my hectic pace has picked up even further with a combination of the change in government and my increased work at the national level, along with our recent aquisition of MES and…
AutoFlix Config.
Message #29937
Tommie, just catching up with messages. Did AlanK get in touch withyou either here or by phone? Let me know and I will follow through as neccessary. I am in the office through the middle of next week! (what a change!) Sorry this has dragged out for you, but I…
Hi Tommie, sorry your troubles continue. Unfortunately you keep catching up to me (or is that vice versa?) in airports, where I am again now, but let me take another run at it here. First, go check up on my clue about the strange spelling for the SHADERDFILE setting. Check…
Bonjour JP! No, the Autodesk personnel on CIS are limited to those of us in North America pretty much as is most of the traffic. Give me the details of just what you need and I can help you out though. wayne
Thanks for the clarification Mike. This is actually quite common so I figured as much, but thanks a lot for the clarification. Now don't YOU be a stranger here either! We'll let you jump in too you know! wayne
Hi Steve. Good news! You are already IN section #11, Educational Issues. This is a "public" forum and hence no clearance or even secret handshake is neccessary! Welcome aboard, glad to have you here on CIS and the Autodesk forums. Be sure to check out the other sections here in…
Pat, please persue this to find out what they can offer, how the work, costs, etc. However, publishing is not the main problem, authoring, editing and creating is. That takes very talented people a lot of time and that doesn't normally come fast or cheap. Ideas? wayne
Moi? Une idea?!! Tu doit penser quel que autre!! Sounds like Mark and you have about the best "handle" on this that I can tell. Kep us posted on the decision. Malgre ton ami, wayne
Hi Tommie, I really did get your voice mail message the other day, but you forgot to give me your phone number and I did not get back to you right away. I have it now (if it is the same as before) but right now I am in my…
Ohhhhh well………………. OK, not the pigs this time, BUT……. ……….. just remember, they are always there in my new acre yard, reading and waiting to fly any mission I send them on!!!!! The pigs and I shall await your reviews!! wayne Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, If I am now the "star fleet commander"…
Khalid, you should also look into the AutoCAD Certification exam. By taking this exam you will have a quantitative evaluation of your AutoCAD knowledge that you can add to the other materials in your portfolio to provide your management with a complete picture of your abilities and skills. To register…
[Continued] At this point in time I do NOT have a set of timelines for what is comming and when, but will get this information out to all of you here as soon as it is developed which should be in about a month. I realize you would like it…
Thanks for the input Dave. My FAX number is 415-491-8337, give me a mailing address to send a sample of our R12 Update Exercise set to you. This product will be available to all dealers by the end of the month, as they tell me here it will be up…
