Well joining the blogger bandwagon and restating the obvious… overnight (for me at least), Autodesk announced that AutoCAD for Mac is now shipping as of October 15, 2010 (US time).   There is a plethora of new information and blogs a plenty and you can download a 30 day full trial from   http://www.autodesk.com/autocadformac .

Friend & fellow Mac-ites, Rick Graham (of MacACAD blog fame) posted this great useful tip earlier this morning… Registering for AU with a Mac. A quick tip - If you are using your trusty Mac to log into the Autodesk University Registration page and it seems to get stuck, chances are – you are using the default Safari to do this. I have commiserated with other fellow Mac-ites trying to the same and we all came to the consensus that AU Registration hates Safari. So, I fired up Firefox (and the other person used Chrome) for Mac and all went through fine without a hitch. So, use something other than Safari to register. For the record, I was "Chrome" user - sadly the AU registrations site is not Safari friendly :(

For us "southern'ers… that is Southern Hemisphere, today is the first day of Spring and what better news to wake up to…   "The AU Community has really jumped on the chance to preview the AU 2010 Class Catalog and there's lots of excitement and tweets being passed around about it. We received a number of requests to have the catalog available in a spreadsheet to make it easier to organize and sort to fit their needs, such as coordinating things so those attending won’t overlap or duplicate classes they sign up for. We’re happy to oblige!" You can download the AU2010 Class catalogue here (xlsx 336kb)  Thank you AUOnline… and remember the catalogue goes live on September 7 for AU members :) And… just received news that a friend of mine, Rick Graham (of MacACAD blog fame) has co-authored along with George Omura, a new book titled " Mastering AutoCAD for Mac " - congrats Rick...
