It Will Be Here Before You Know it!

The cold of February is beginning to pass and a hint of spring warmth is in the air, at least in some parts of this great nation. I spent this past weekend on Alabama's Gulf Coast with several thousand revelers where the festivities known as Mardi Gras originated. No, Mardi Gras didn't begin in New Orleans, it began in the city of Mobile, AL in 1703!

Anyway, as we attended parades over the weekend and had as pleasant of weather as I can remember in the last few years, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of excitement about the onset of spring in the southeast. Spring in the southeast is great, as the days get longer, the fish start to bite better and work becomes filled with the anticipation of the next release of our beloved Autodesk Software products.

I can't talk a whole lot about the new features in Civil 3D yet, but I can talk about some of the new features in AutoCAD 2010, and since Civil 3D is based on AutoCAD............

One of the new features for AutoCAD 2010 deals with pdf's. Yes, we have been asking to be able to use pdf's as underlays in our drawings and with the next release it will be possible. There are some cool features pertaining to the creation and use of pdf's in this release.

Keep tuned for more info on AutoCAD 2010 and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010!
