2005 Year in Review

PAUG had some great presenters in 2005. Lets recap on a memorable year for PAUG.

Starting out the year PAUG invited Bob Withers to discuss security. Bob gave our members a good look at some safety issues that are commonly overlooked when using your computer in various environments. We also had Jarod Shultz from CAD-1 come out and gave us a great look at the new Sheet Set Manager in AutoCAD 2005.

In March Mr. Joseph Floss presented Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.

Who could forget when Heidi Hewett came to discuss all the new great features of AutoCAD 2006. She went over many of the new features including , Dynamic Blocks, the new CUI, and upgrades to Hatching. Who better than Autodesk employees Heidi Hewett and Nate Bartley to answer your questions about the newest release.

Also from Autodesk we had Steve Shapiro drop by with Autodesk® Buzzsaw®, a very powerful tool to help keep your projects on schedule and within budget.

We thank Warren Geissler from Cad-1 for coming out and giving a great demo on Autodesk® Civil 3D®. It was awesome. I think it showed off some ways to really be productive and allow some serious time savings. True parametrics, - Cheers!

Comm-Tech's Bob Potter & Colleen Burke presented some of the features of Autodesk® MapGuide®. Another remarkable product!

Stewart Jordison, also an instructor at Comm-Tech gave an incredible demonstration of Autodesk REVIT.

We also demoed some great products including the newest version of DotSoft's ToolPac 9.0

This year we continued to give out our CD of tips and tools and software from Autodesk and DotSoft. With the help of our great members and sponsors we will have an even better year in 2006.
