60 Autocad Tips in 60 Minutes

I’m a bit busy right now for exploring, training and implementation of the new software.  The software is not actually for drafting & designing but it is for material takeoff, estimating and bidding.  It is the On-Screen Takeoff Software, a software that lets the estimator takeoff a drawing in pdf, tif, jpg, dwg, bmp and other supported files right from their screen.

Anyways, this post is not about that takeoff software but about the quick presentation of Lynn Allen, a Cadalyst columnist and a worldwide Autodesk Technical Evangelist, entitled 60 Autocad Tips in 60 Minutes

The 21 slides presentation talks about tips and techniques that will increase productivity in Autocad. From user interface tips, Customizing, Layers, dimensioning tidbits that for sure you will love.  A recommended reading for Autocad users.
