Last time i used autocad was on R14, can anyone recommend a book to get upto speed on 2009? Not the dummies books though.

you can still use all the same commands

just set your preferances to look like the old one.

the new toolbarry things can be useful if you use lots of the same blocks/commands.

then again i`m an old dog. the new tricks are probably good but i dont want to know.

Anyone else think this was about Terry Thomas and his choice of automotive transport?

Don't worry about it, they are all the same, they add stuff each year to justify the upgrade fee, its rarely useful though.

Anyone know if there are any companies in Cardiff (or surrounding areas) that are hiring AutoCAD drivers? My brother has just been made redundant 🙁

molgrips - forget AutoCAD, get Sketchup - it has a drawing addition called 'layout', I'd use that, its fairly intuitive. Any questions just drop me a mail.
