Getting New Employees Up to Speed CM401-3 05-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am This class will convey the basics and the specifics of building a highly effective program to inculcate new employees to both CAD and your company’s CAD standards. You’ll be introduced to checklist basics, creating effective training materials, and how to implement training. We will cover important points on how to get management’s buy-in and support, as well as some methods for securing it. In addition, we’ll cover how to gauge the program’s success and how to follow up after training. Intended as a starting point, this class will help you develop a program that will take the sting out of hiring new graduates, and also take familiar users to the next step, while getting them to use your standards at the same time. 90-Minute Class All Levels San Polo 3401 Ryan Wunderlich, Senior CAD Administrator | Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines WAN Solutions Shootout CM405-3 05-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Many attendees at AU work for companies with more than one office.

The daily pressure from upper management and the tedious task of keeping the CAD operators in your department productive is enough to drive you insane. This class will motivate you to bring out the best in you and your company. We will discuss some examples and try to analyze new ways of making your department run smoother, more productive, and cost efficient. Balancing your department’s workload, making time and finding money for training, implementing and keeping your CAD standards current is enough to send you to the crazy house. If learning how to balance the entire picture and still have a life seems like an impossible task, you are not alone; there are thousands of CAD Managers that go through this every day. Come and listen to a few solutions, share your experiences, and find out what works and doesn’t. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3103 R Yoshi Honda, director of operations | U.S. CAD Common Sense AutoCAD® CM319-3 04-Dec-08 5:15 pm - 6:45 pm Most people never really think about what they are doing in AutoCAD. They never know the “unwritten rules”. They just keep doing the things that they were taught and don’t think about the reasons they do them. We will discuss the “undiscussed rules” of AutoCAD—those areas that get violated every day by someone. Are you using your common sense when you use AutoCAD? 90-Minute Class Introductory Lido 3005 John Morgan, Owner | caddmanager.com Evolution Not Revolution: The Secret to Successful CAD Standards CM401-2 05-Dec-08 8:15 am - 9:45 am CAD committees, long meetings, heated debates, low compliance anyway sound familiar? Then you’ve probably tried to implement new CAD standards at your company. The mistake that many companies make is trying to change too much too fast. In this session, we’ll take a look at a more effective approach to developing your CAD standards and maximizing the compliance of your users. 90-Minute Class All Levels Lido 3105 Eric Chappell, Consultant | Engineered Efficiency Preventative CAD Management CM205-2 03-Dec-08 10:15 am - 11:45 am Preventative (or proactive) CAD management is the concept of setting up processes and guidelines to prevent things from going wrong, whereas reactive management is responding to problems as they come up. Although reactive management is part of the job, you may find yourself settling into the rut of responsiveness—responding to, but not avoiding problems. Just as changing the oil in your car is a preventative measure, you can put some things in place to avoid trouble later on. 90-Minute Class Introductory Lido 3101 Mark Kiker, | AUGI 30 http://www.caddmanager.com
