This walkthrough of CAD best practices will look into what AutoCAD can accomplish when you provide customization based on your standards. Using tools, such as the profile, program parameter file, and the menus, you can attain your standards goals as a company. At the same time, you will learn how to keep your standards in the background, ensuring that all of your users are being consistent. 90-Minute Class Power User Lido 3103 Matthew Hill, Applications Specialist | Thorson Baker & Assoc., Inc. The National CAD Standard—Revitized! CM311-2 04-Dec-08 1:15 pm - 2:45 pm Learn about the trials and tribulations of configuring Revit® to include formats from the U.S. National CAD Standard® (NCS) and some solutions. Three NCS/CAD experts from different companies will discuss and demonstrate what they went through to get the job done. Key formatting issues from NCS component will be addressed including linewidths, symbols, title blocks, and Revit keynotes. Attendees are expected to have a basic working knowledge of Revit; familiarity with the NCS is optional. 90-Minute Class Advanced San Polo 3401 Ed Lowe, CAD Coordinator | Burgess & Niple BIM Standards and Revit® Training: A Marriage Made in… CM205-1 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Attendees of this course will see the path that a multi-office, full service A/E firm took in developing their internal CAD/ BIM standards and training materials. This session will show how, through a collaborative effort of representatives from the Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, and Electrical disciplines, a 500-person multi-state firm used “lessons learned” from firsthand experience to take their internal training and standards development from concept through successful launch/rollout. This information is drawn primarily from Revit implementation experiences, but the content will be of interest to anyone who is responsible for developing their company’s CAD standards and internal training resources. 90-Minute Class Advanced San Polo 3505 Brett Gatti, CAD/BIM Manager | Harley Ellis Devereaux Networking A to Z: A Hands-On Lab with AutoCAD®, Part I CM305-2L 04-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am This is 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. 90-Minute Lab All Levels Murano 3301 Nate Bartley, Product Manager | Autodesk Managing the AutoCAD® CUI and Empowering the Users CM101-1 02-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am The AutoCAD Customize User Interface (CUI) affects how you customize your users’ environment. Managing the CUI in an office environment raises some questions. How do you provide an office standard CUI? How do you give your users a consistent interface? Is it possible to provide common tools for multiple applications? Also, consider the user’s side of the equation. Do you want to give the users the ability to customize their interface? This decision becomes all the more crucial with the introduction of the AutoCAD ribbon. Unlike other ribbon interfaces, the user can customize it. Indeed, much of the power of the ribbon is only revealed once it is customized to fit the user’s needs. What do you need to provide to empower your users? This class provides the answers to these important questions. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Murano 3205 R. Robert Bell, Design Technology Manager | Sparling CAD Manager’s Training, Standards, and Productivity Guide CM401-1 05-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am Are you responsible for training your CAD users, but feel overwhelmed by the task? Are you stymied by the problems associated with enforcing CAD standards? In this session, we’ll cover some strategies for combining standards enforcement with an in-house training program to solve both problems at once. We’ll start by building your company training program, creating effective training materials and ensuring that instructional delivery produces productive users. We’ll also look at controlling overhead and motivating users with ongoing learning events to reduce helpdesk questions. Special attention will be paid to coordinating your training program with other efforts like CAD standards and quality management programs. If you’re responsible for creating a training program and/or for the delivery of that program, you can’t afford to miss this session! 90-Minute Class Intermediate Lido 3103 Robert Green, Owner | cad-manager.com 29 http://www.cad-manager.com http://www.cad-manager.com
