What's your Favorite Express Tool?
Posted on 06:04 by Unknown
Bonus tools, express tools... whatever you call them, you've got certain tasks that just wouldn't be as easy without them!The past few years, Autodesk has rolled more of them into the AutoCAD-based products (like the layer tools now on the Layers II toolbar like LAYISO, Change Space, Layer Merge). A couple of those tools have really been improved/expanded, too.BUT, there are still a few more tools left over on the old EXPRESSMENU.Autodesk wants to know which ones are your favorite!So, take this survey and share your thoughts with them. Who knows...

Back to School Time!
Posted on 11:38 by Unknown
I mean me. Yes, at the same time that I'm going through the fun of getting my offspring registered to begin school, I am getting ready to become a student again myself.Not to his school, of course. Although, elementary might be a bit easier than university.I'll start my first class on Thursday though St. Louis University's School for Professional Studies. I've been wanting to complete my Bachelor's degree, and am thrilled to be able to start back up on it again.The thing that is different about the Professional Studies curriculum is that it is...

Making another move
Posted on 10:20 by Unknown

Pardon me as I meander down memory lane today...I go by the username 'Wanderer' on a few forums, for the simple reason... I am one. I have moved quite a bit in my short(ish) life. I was chatting with my boss last year during my most recent house move, and we realized that was the 8th address I'd had in my seven years of working for him.Well, last Friday we had a meeting to review our project, and we've set a move date.As of May, I will be moving...
