Only 3 days to go!
A quick reminder: Only a few sleeps to go to the next Victorian AutoCAD Users Group meeting is on
7:30pm Thursday
13th February 2014
At the Warrawong Annexe of
Eley Park Community Association
32 Richmond Street
Blackburn South (MELWAYS: 61 G4)
Yes folks, that’s this coming Thursday! See the map below for directions:
FEATURED THIS MONTH
The DEVOLUTION of AutoCAD
Yes, it’s DEvolution, not Evolution! We’ll be looking at evolution in reverse by going back through the thirty years of CAD ages.
Peter Godfrey and John McKinna will demonstrate how far we have come and how well off we are now compared with the “old days”. They will be showing AutoCAD through the ages by attempting to draw a simple model in
Autodesk Revit 2014 – the future (?????),
AutoCAD 2014 – Autodesk’s newest and shiniest AutoCAD,
AutoCAD Release 14 – a classic version from 1998, fondly remembered by many,
AutoCAD Release 10 with DRC Auto, another classic hit from the late 80’s, and
AutoCAD v1.4 – one of the very first versions from 1984!
And some of these will be running on Microsoft’s latest Windows 8.1.
Déjà vu is a term that comes to mind. Expletives from the floor may be tolerated, but certainly will be forgiven.
Come along and see how CAD has progressed through the ages. Should be a real hoot!
And, of course…
Lots of Discussion of Interesting Stuff!
“Round table” discussions of any AutoCAD problems you might have (and hopefully the solutions!) plus the usual News, AutoCAD Tips and friendly chat about whatever we find interesting.
Bring along your USB memory keys etc. and you can get a copy of some of the items demonstrated.
All Welcome!
As usual, wonderful food and drinks will be provided by George, along with the opportunity to meet up with fellow AutoCAD users.
Also, if anyone hasn’t yet paid their membership fees for 2014, please do so as soon as possible. The fees were set at $60 per year.
