I'm about to go on the road yet again - this time I'll be speaking to educators (my favorite of course!). I'll be addressing education and industry trends along with my usual AutoCAD Tips and Tricks. If you are in the neighborhood and happen to be an educator be sure to join me for the AutoCAD Education Tour.
Autodesk went on a week long break last week and consequently it's probably been very quiet in the Autodesk Blog Land. Right before the break I had a chance to meet with one of our new customers - Starbucks! (something near and dear to my heart). While I was in Seattle I met up with Stephen Bardin (in a Starbucks of course!) and we had a delightful conversation. Thank you so much for the latte Stephen and good luck as you continue to get your designers excited about their new software! Stephen was nice enough to let me snap a picture of him (below).
I am off an running (need to put the finishing touches on my presentation for Thursday)...it's 105 here in Novato today and that just makes it really tough to work (doesn't it?).
Did you listen to my Cadalyst Tip this week? Both last week and this week I talked about customizing the tool palette with hatch patterns and blocks. Definitely take a look and you'll find how easy it is to put your Hatch Patterns on your palette. The advantage of doing this is that it knows the layer to land on, the scale factor, rotation angle etc! Take a glimpse at my Cadalyst Tips and Tricks video for detailed information.
Try to stay cool!
