Steven…. >>1. I attended the Multimedia Authorized Training Center conference on Monday. Common questions are; "Where is the training market?", "What kinds of training do users want?" and "How do we develop the right curriculum?" You know what you want and need, so tell them.

Grace… In your estimation what percentage of the ATC's have their standard classes on R13 at this point..? Meaning l1, l2, l3 3d modeling etc… Roger C.
David…. LT has almost everyting AutoCAD has in 2D. The AutoCAD Certification exams are 2D only exams. There are a few things missing in LT (for some reason measure and divide commands) but the majority of things rea there… so why not? IMHO LT is fine for ACE prep… Roger…
David…. why done you give Elton Hammond a (shout, buzz, e-mail) Echo Institute is an ATC and a drake testing site. Elton is the ATC manager there. Also Elton has been following the progress of many of his students taking the drake exams… To some students he even includes the…

Message #154360

Charles…. Pop this Guy a message he works for Journey education (markets ed. versions of Autodesk and other companies' software) he will be able to help you…BTW I think the answer to your question is yes you can upgrade after your student status expires..(provided you buy a Upgradable version) M.…
Jonas… Are there forms for the CDK grant applications? and to whom should the applications be sent? Roger C.
Joe…. Thanks much (david too…) I hope this clears up their problems. Seems that some are indicating in NAVCIS tht the message should be sent private (there is a check box for this when composing messages) and they are getting a message back from CIS indicating the the ASOFT forum…

Mystery software
Message #136853
Hello…. Has anyone heard of a software package called Chem Win? or something like that…I not familiar with the Hyper Chem market and was wondering if anyone out there was….My client needs to read files created Chem Win would Hyper Chem do this? If anyone has any information please leave…
Hey.. Yes, and even though it was a while ago I still remember what it was like to be a student. Food on the table first, then books (mabye), computer software???? Unlikely…. Roger C.
John…. PMJI….BUT….I really think you are going a littl overboard here on the educational pricing issue. If you as me (you may decide not to..:-)…) the educational pricing issue has been manufactured buy the software developers themselves. Case in point you buy 10 stations for a lab.. sets you back…

Kevin…. At Vanier CAD/CAM our pricing starts at $90 per day and tops out at $ 150 per day (canadian dollars) (about 60 to 110 USD). IMHO this far too cheap because it causes us to run only when there is 5 people in the class… Very difficult for specialised…
Gary… There is no conversion in the DWG file format. the only problem is getting your MAC to read DOS disks. I accomplished this in MAC II Ci's with apple file exchange. I only assume this is even easier with the Power MAC's. Roger C.
MIke… Your message starts at 13… is there some part missing? Although My ATC Manager is not actually online I do keep them abreast of all which goes on here. We do not seem to be getting any calls from the Ad campaign. I do not believe we have yet…
Angel…. If cost wasn't an issue. I would recommend providing the students with "Inside 3D Studio" for the depth of information it provides. "3D Studio Applied" for the quality of the tutorials. and finally even though I have yet to see it "Fallingwater in 3D Studio" for the Architectural bent…

James….. About the Mailing list.. Well of course that's "our" mailing list and I would be drawn and fethered or was that quartered… if I let this out of my college's hands. I'm not from Millwalkie (sish.. I can't even spell this right) I'm from Montreal.. and yes we do…
James….. Gosh sounds like a great idea… seems to me I had a similiar idea, but never expressed it. You are right about deadline issues. better get that mailing out REAL SOON…. I suppose you are local to Fox Valley… Is this for End users only? And you will have…
Edgardo…. Archibus is at 1-800 541 2724…. I think you would be looking at 2500$ for a basic setup 8000$ for the whole shooting match (which no company really seems to need) I'd say an average of 3500$ per installation. Better check the numbers though these are really ballpark figures.…
Edgardo…. How about Archibus? Runs inside AutoCAD. What's your budget? Roger C.
I'm one of the Autodesk ETS' (Educational Training Specialist) Your point should be (I hope) well taken at Autodesk. When 2 products sit in front of you one at 150 and another at 800-1500 you have to make a decision, you as an educator who likes autocad will bite the…
Nancy…. The instructor's guides are really good to show the instructor's how to use the student books. Also so they do not have to start from scratch when developing some course outlines. How to use the books in short intensive courses and in longer semesterial courses. Can you tell I've…

Message #100411
Nancy…. Fantastic Idea. This should be an excellent companion to your 3DS Applied book. I'm really glad you seem to be targeting training institutions with your writing. Something that's really needed. Roger C.
Dick….. Right now the AQT does not allowy you to replace the IAS logo with anything else. You are not the forst to as though. SO we will certainly think about it and see what flexibility we can have for custom logo's. As far as custom exams… yes you have…
Dick…. Yes it is a multiple choice exam tester and exam generator. Written by a couple of AutoCAD guys.. So we first thought of AutoCAD exams. But we soon realised (as many people pointed out) that it could be used for general purposes. The questions can be written for any…
Andy…. I just did a demographic study for our Autodesk MTC status. Check your local employment center or government statistics center (census data) for info on professionals working in your area.
