Classes by Industry Learn to Hack AutoCAD® Installations for Custom Deployments CM215-2 03-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm Learn what it takes to create, maintain, install, and even hack software deployments—from figuring out what to call and when, to automated installations of software and service packs, to hacking out your own custom deployment with VB Script or Batch files. This class will teach you what you need to know to automate most of your AutoCAD installations, service pack, and hotfixes. 90-Minute Class All Levels San Polo 3401 Darren Young, MSD Application Engineer | MasterGraphics Networking A to Z: A Hands-On Lab with AutoCAD®, Part II CM311-3L 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm This is Part II of a hands-on lab, where you will be paired in teams of two. You will get to experience firsthand what was taught in the Networking AutoCAD A to Z lecture. You will install, configure, and activate the Network License Manager. You will use the deployment wizard to install AutoCAD on a workstation. We will also discuss troubleshooting methods and how to avoid problems before they occur. Networking A to Z: A Hands-On Lab with AutoCAD®, Part I is a prerequisite for this lab. 90-Minute Lab Intermediate Murano 3301 Nate Bartley, Product Manager | Autodesk Introduction to VBScript for CAD Administrators CM301-2 04-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am Many CAD Administrators automate and customize the CAD systems for the benefit of their users. But one of the best things you can do for your users is to automate your job, freeing up your time for helping them. This lab will teach you how to use Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) to automate your CAD administration tasks. 90-Minute Class Advanced Lido 3103 Darren Young, MSD Application Engineer | MasterGraphics Another AutoCAD® Upgrade, Another AutoCAD® Training: When, How, Who, and Why? CM215-3 03-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm You just did an upgrade and already the next release is out. When is it best to upgrade? How is it best to upgrade? How do I sell the company owners on the upgrade? Who should be upgraded? Why do we have to upgrade? This session will provide answers to these questions as well as ways to approach each answer. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3106 Sandy Mauro, CADD TECH | Wright-Pierce Making the Move from AutoCAD® to Revit® Architecture CM315-3 04-Dec-08 3:15 pm - 4:45 pm The rules are changing with regard to how CAD is used within the construction industry. There will always be a place for 2D drafting, even as the industry is heading towards 3D modeling. But how should a practice approach the transition? This interactive session will examine some of the myths associated with traditional CAD development and training programs, and present practical suggestions for transitioning from 2D AutoCAD to 3D modeling and BIM with Revit. 90-Minute Class Advanced Lido 3103 Rory Vance, MD | CADsmart AutoLISP® for CAD Managers CM105-1L 02-Dec-08 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Using AutoLISP or Visual LISP® is a powerful way to extend the functionality of AutoCAD®, but many avoid using it because they think it’s too hard to learn. This course lays out the basics of AutoLISP, using a building block approach with practical examples that you can use every day to tailor AutoCAD to your specific needs. We’ll cover using ACADDOS.LSP to control system startup, how to load files from a network location, some basic syntax, accessing the command line, creating your own user command functions and undefining/ redefining commands—all in a hands-on lab environment. This class assumes you have intermediate AutoCAD capability and the ability to edit and save files using a text editor such as Notepad. No prior AutoLISP experience is necessary. 90-Minute Lab All levels Murano 3301 Robert Green, Owner | cad-manager.com Networking AutoCAD® A to Z CM301-1 04-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am Back by popular demand, here is an opportunity to spend time with Autodesk University veteran speakers Nate Bartley and Jerry Milana. This class is for those looking to learn how Autodesk products can be installed and deployed in a network environment. We will look at the different licensing models that may be used, and why you might choose one over another. Learn how the license manager is installed, configured, authorized, and used. We will also discuss the steps and best practices to distribute AutoCAD-based products across your network. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3105 Nate Bartley, Product Manager | Autodesk AutoLISP® for CAD Managers CM305-1L 04-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am ® Using AutoLISP or Visual LISP is a powerful way to extend the functionality of AutoCAD®, but many avoid using it because they think it’s too hard to learn.
