We will look at various methods for creating a manual. We’ll provide several different approaches, along with the tools needed to enable the attendants to decide which method or combination of methods will best suit their needs. The session will also discuss methods to assist managers in determining what should and should not go into their manual, and how to present it in a form where every user can take full advantage of its contents. Once the manual is created, it will need maintenance, updating, and altering, along with a means to make sure users are following it. This class will provide all of this and more. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Murano 3205 Brian Benton, CAD Technician | Heidt & Assocaites, Inc. Why Technology Projects Fail CM311-1 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm Implementing new technology is a complex task. Learn from an experienced project manager why projects fail and what you can do to ensure that your next project is not one of those statistics. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3105 Mark Hechel, Manufacturing Consultant | MasterGraphics How to Standardize Everything in your Corporate Environment CM115-1 02-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm In this class, you will learn how to setup AutoCAD®/AutoCAD Vertical products (AutoCAD Architecture, MEP, and Civil 3D®) for your corporate environment. During this session, we will cover ways to standardize your installation by adding files to the standard install. We will show you how to create standard user profiles that will point to network-based support files, such as Fonts, Routines, Plotters, and Templates locations. We will also cover the use of the CAD Standards Checker, the hated and loved tool that works great to standardize company layers, dimension styles, and text styles. When everybody in your company points to a network location for profiles and templates, along with other support files, you can make a single change and have it affect all users without having to go around to each one. Creating a standard setup for your company can increase productivity when everybody is working in the same way or a similar way. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3101 Eric Bogenschutz, Director of BIM | BSA LifeStructures CAD Standards: How to Get Started CM319-2 04-Dec-08 5:15 pm - 6:45 pm There is a lot of talk about CAD standards, and you may know of firms that have a huge, thick binder that contains all their CAD standards. But what if you are a small office and you have never had any? How do you get started? Maybe you’ve read articles or have sat in on some classes that cover CAD standards, but you felt overwhelmed. In this class, we’ll base our example on a small office with no standards, and show you how to start with a few basics, including how to create a template. We’ll go slow and make it simple for those who are just starting out. 90-Minute Class Introductory Murano 3203 Beth Powell, Owner | CAD Fuel Design AutoCAD® Emergency Room CM315-2 04-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm Whether you are a CAD manager at a small design firm or an application engineer supporting hundreds of AutoCAD users, the problems you face are one and the same. Having an arsenal of knowledge in how these technical issues can be resolved systematically will help streamline the troubleshooting procedure. This class is a direct manifestation of data gathered from thousands of support requests logged with the Autodesk Product Support organization, and presents the most significant issues that AutoCAD users face, including installation, configuration, performance, printing, and best practices for solving them. Join us to discuss strategies that will enable you to be more effective and efficient in solving technical problems for your users. 90-Minute Class Advanced Lido 3005 Leonardo Casado, Product Support Manager | Autodesk BIM Manager: The Newest Position CM115-2 02-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm BIM manager, BIM leader, BIM coach, BIM coordinator—as BIM progresses, we’re seeing a new position develop that is dedicated to overseeing BIM projects. Is it different than CAD manager? Is it the same? What duties should a BIM Manager be doing? Which of them are the same as the CAD manager’s? Is this a short-term evolution or is the CAD manager being replaced? Discover what it takes to be a BIM manager. 90-Minute Class Introductory Murano 3205 Mark Kiker, | AUGI 26 http://www.cad-manager.com
