Hi Bret, you have certainly come to the right place. As you can see from replies from Terence and Roger, there is LOTS of great help and expertise here. I am with the Autodesk Customer Education & Training group and here are a few more ideas for you. Terence has several books that he writes for Goodheart Wilcox and there are several other text book authors that will likely jump in here. If you would like a complete listing of all the books, videos, tapes, etc. available for Autodesk products, as your local dealer for a copy of "In Print" our brochure that lists all of these. Additionally you might be interested in some complimentary materials that we produce under the Learning Resource Series (LRS). The product training type of material consists of hands on exercises that many instructors are using in conjunction with their own materials or courseware or textbooks that they use. Your dealer can also order these for you. Re the testing and "diagnostics", my group also manages the Autodesk Certification & Testing programs that include the AutoCAD Exams (Level I and Level II) For more information on these you can call 1-800-995-EXAM. We also produce an AutoCAD Exam Preparation Workbook that you can use to pre and post test your "students" as well as using this for preparing them for the exam, the # above has information on this workbook or you can call 1-800-3347-7707 To help you with additional information you might want, I have listed below the lengthy list of FAX Back information that is available to you. Just call 707-794-1444 and use the appropriate numbers from this list to get the info you want. [HINT:] You might want to copy this list into your PIM software or a wordprocessor file so you can use the "search" function to find the specific info you want. As per the reply from Roger there are others out there that are producing exam making software that you can use to create your own exams. Of course the REAL experts are great instructors like Terence and Roger and you can expect many more of them to jump in on this and other topics. Stick around here there is a wealth of experience, ideas and support for anyone interested in improving the learning of Autodesk products. Good luck with your "students", let us know how you make out and any other ways we can help. wayneFAX Information System Menu (this menu)…………….. 3 100 AutoCAD Product Literature by Platform AutoCAD LT
