Elect me to the AUGI Board of Directors! (Please)

Dear All,

I am a candidate for election on the international Board of Directors (BoD) for Autodesk User Group International (AUGI). Should I be elected I will be working internationally for the benefit of Autodesk users worldwide.

Here is my election blurb from the AUGI website:

Shaun, a pioneer of the original AUGI UK Country Chapter (AUGIuk), strongly believes that AUGI is an invaluable resource to ALL Autodesk users.

Having represented AUIuk at Board level at AU2006, 2007 and 2008, he works hard with his AUGIuk Board members to maintain the AUGIuk Country Chapter.

Offerring over 20 years of AutoCAD experience and over 6 years with the AUGIuk Board, Shaun regards the opportunity of serving the AUGI international community as an honour, not a privilege.

"I sincerely hope that you will consider me as a suitable candidate to represent AUGI at an international level" - Shaun Bryant.

I really do hope that you will head on over to the AUGI website and vote for me!

The link is here.

And here is the full link should you need to copy and paste:

http://augi.com/about-augi/organization/board-of-directors/2010-augi-board-candidates/

You will need to be registered on the AUGI site as a member and need to be logged in to vote.

I see this position (if elected) as an honour, not a privilege and would relish serving the worldwide Autodesk community.

Please vote for me.

Thanks in advance,

SB

Autodesk updates AutoCAD WS!

OK, just a quick blog today as I am preparing for my AU Virtual Product Clinic today.

If you want to attend my product clinic, please check my previous post for details!

So, down to AutoCAD WS business. I am a big fan of AutoCAD WS and it even works well over a USB modem plugged in to my laptop, so full credit for mobility goes to Autodesk! Anyone who wants to buy me an iPad for Christmas to test it further, please let me know! LOL.

Here is the official Autodesk press release link here or you can copy and paste the full link below:

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Autodesk-Updates-AutoCAD-WS-bw-2919859329.html?x=0&.v=1

The main updates to AutoCAD WS are as follows: -

Offline support:

Most requested from existing AutoCAD WS users, designs can now be viewed and edited from mobile devices, without the need for Internet connectivity.

Direct file uploads from an iPad:

Users can now open an email attachment and upload it to their AutoCAD WS account directly from their device.

Simplified gesture interface:

Editing, drawing and markup has been enhanced to be more intuitive and similar to AutoCAD.

As usual, the new version can be downloaded from the AppStore or can be downloaded from www.autocadws.com.

Enjoy WS'ing!
