SubscribeThe See the Difference with AutoCAD 2010 tour is over and Shaan Hurley and I enjoyed a nice lunch with CADD Microsystemsafter our final presentation in Washington DC. Apparently one of CADD Microsystem's instructors, Daron Moore, won North American Instructor of the year (out of 1600 ATC instructors) and they had a life-size cardboard cut out of him at the luncheon (apparently he was busy). Shaan and I got such a kick out of the cut-out we decided to have our picture taken with it (or should I say with "him"?).
Many moons ago, before joining Autodesk, I too won the Instructor of the year award (and there were much fewer instructors back then) so I can truly appreciate Daron's award. Good work Daron! Does that mean CADD Microsystems is going to give you a nice big raise now?
From Washington DC I was whisked off to Richmond, VA by fellow blogger Donnie Gladfelter. There I presented to the Richmond AutoCAD Manifest user group (busy day!). The evening was topped off by a great dinner with the RAM board of directors (I believe a good time was enjoyed by all).
While I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the tour - I am VERY much looking forward to being home for a couple of weeks and catching up on all those other projects that were pushed by the wayside as I traveled.
A great big thank you to all who came up and introduced themselves to me during the Tour and maybe we'll see you again next year. Hopefully you gained some great insight into AutoCAD 2010 and the AutoCAD family of products.
Remember that you can try AutoCAD 2010 for free for 30 days...(it's always nice to try it before you buy it!).
