Jack,
The first thing you have to do is put your full name into the membership
record. Then send a *SYSOP message to the sysop (*SYSOP is private to the
primary sysop of the forum) and include your name, UID, dealership name,
dealership number and Autodesk contact person. The information will be verified
(usually takes two or three days), and access will be granted.
You will have to reset your selected message sections after the access is
granted. With Command line comm programs it's a simple as typing OPT at the
command ! or forum ! prompt. With one of the CIM programs, you will have to
delete your present ASOFT configuration in Favorite Places and rejoin.
