August 21st meeting - "AutoCAD 2009 Ribbon Customization / Connecting ArcSDE with Map3D 2009"


The next meeting of the Southwest Florida AutoCAD Professionals is this Thursday, August 21st.   This meeting will feature free training on two topics.  The first will be an overview of the new "ribbon" functionality in AutoCAD 2009 and how to customize your own ribbon categories, panels and icons.  The second topic will be a tutorial on the steps involved in connecting to an ArcSDE datastore with the AutoCAD Map3D 2009 interface.  Both presentations will be by Shawn Dillon of CADD Centers of Florida.
This meeting is sponsored by CADD Centers of Florida.  Many thanks to Nancy Strand and CADD Centers for their continued support of our group.

Road Design Seminars: Aug 26-28

 

CADD Centers of Florida, Autodesk, and DLT

 

Solutions invite you to one of three

Civil Engineering Design seminars in Florida.

(Click on Upcoming Event for more details)

 

Recently, the Florida Department of Transportation made a decision to acquire Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D. Like many government agencies and government contractors, they need a design solution that can be interoperable and incorporate rich functionality for survey and design analysis.

 

Learn how AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 can help your agency deliver superior ROI with the ability to visualize models and reduce costly errors and omissions before construction begins.

 

Our seminars will explore how you can save time and deliver higher quality designs with AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009. You will learn about Civil 3D and its superior technology in:

 

Providing better coordination of design changes

Quickly and clearly communicating design intent

Simplifying software needs with one flexible solution

 

Additionally, Autodesk will address the retirement of Land Desktop and the transition to AutoCAD Civil 3D. If you are currently using Land Desktop for Civil Design, this is not an event you will want to miss!

 

There is NO charge for registration; the seminars are FREE to attend.


We hope to see you there!
