Its finally happened...
After many members asking me when is it likely to happen, Autodesk have finally announced that that all three Revit products are now available to Subscription customers in 64 bit versions.
It has been reported that the 64 bit verions offer improved performance for memory intensive tasks such as rendering, printing, model upgrading and file importing and exporting.
If you're a 64bit operating system user and an Autodesk Subsrciption user then I'd be seriously checking this out...

AU2007 Preliminary Schedules released
Well the AU (Autodesk University) machine is about to ramp up...
Joeseph Wurcher has just posted in his blog the preliminary course schedules for AU2007 - but requests your assistance...
Joeseph Wurcher has just posted in his blog the preliminary course schedules for AU2007 - but requests your assistance...
This year, we will offer sessions at the same time as the General Session. Those offered at the same time as the General Session will be repeated during AU— in a sense, it frees up one slot for attendees who are interested in those particular repeat sessions. The AU core team made the decision today to offer those additional 20. Those classes do not show up in the schedule yet. I would like your point of view on this plan. Does it make sense to you to offer classes at the same time as the General Session? Let me hear from you!— Joseph
And for us Revit users there's some great cousres being offerred... it’s time to get your justification together, if you haven’t already, to attend the best Autodesk user event on the planet.
So when and where is AU2007 - 15th Annual Autodesk UniversityNovember 27 – 30, 2007
The Venetian Resort Hotel
Las Vegas, U.S.A.
See you there!!!

Autodesk Usability Team Needs Your Help
Project objective:
AutoCAD product design is gathering a collection of screenshots to broaden our view of our customers work environment.
We are looking for a screenshot that best captures your normal toolbar arrangement, palette setup, dashboard position, etc. We will use these screenshots to aid our design decisions concerning the user interface of AutoCAD and any other Autodesk products.
As a participant in this Project, we ask you to take a screenshot of your working environment; preferably while you have a project/drawing open and email it to screenshot@autodesk.com.
If the project contains sensitive material, please use a non-sensitive project or scale the model so vulnerable details can’t be seen. Autodesk respects the confidentiality of our customers and will only use your screenshot as a part of our internal design process.Here are a couple ways to make a screenshot (the instructions are the same if you are using a single monitor or dual monitors):

- Using word processing program or image editor. With the Autodesk application active, hit the Print Screen (PrtSc) key on your keyboard. Paste the screenshot in an image editing program such as Paint or Photoshop. You can also paste the screenshot directly into Word. Save the file as a BMP, PNG, or if using Word, DOC. Attach to an email and send to: screenshot@autodesk.com
Thanks for your support!
