SubscribeTwo cities down on the Education Tour...I'm on to another event in Philly tomorrow. Tomorrow night I am presenting to the Philadelphia AutoCAD User Group (PAUG) and believe it or not it is their 25th anniversary celebration! Can you believe that? It takes a tremendous amount of effort to keep a user group going - and 25 years must truly be a record! A huge congratulations to everyone who has kept the user group going after all these years! If you are living near Philly be sure to join us tomorrow night for the extravaganza!
I'm really enjoying the Education tour - but it is a very busy schedule! It is wonderful working with the teachers (especially since I used to be one myself in another life).
I accidentally left my power supply at the event today (bad Lynn) so I'll make this short and sweet.
An AutoCAD Hip Tip on minimizing the new Ribbon in AutoCAD 2009:
One of the complaints about the Ribbon in AutoCAD 2009 is that it takes up too much screen real estate. Once you relearn where all the tools are in the new task-based ribbon you might find yourself wanting to minimize it. That can easily be done with the magical arrow to the right of the tabs.
Hit the arrow once and the ribbon will minimize down to tabs and panels:
Hit it one more time and you are down to just the tabs (and plenty more space).
You'd better REALLY know your ribbon before selecting the last option!
So there is your AutoCAD Hip Tip from NYC on minimizing the Ribbon!
