AutoCAD 2008 upgrade training in writing

[amy.stuart]

Well my company usually allows me to do lots of training, BUT with it being a busy season they are requesting that I NOT do a 2008 upgrade training and instead just write the upgrade stuff down for people to read!!!

Okay i don't even know where to begin or how to make it fun and interesting so they read it.

Any suggestions????

how to make it fun and interesting
Why don't you make some video tutorials... explain the news of 2008 and make easy to learn.



Cheers,

Should be no need to have to write anything up. It's all been written somewhere :-)

You can always start with Lynn Allen's Tips and Tricks booklet.

Truthfully, I would try to force at least one lunch and learn to where you can show off what it can do for your company...Show the people what it can do, then hand out the instructions on how to do it...

I am with you guys. I usually do alot of lunch and learns. They are usually a hit, but in response to the video.... I did that once. I loved it and got a good response. BUT within 15 minutes of its release i had management at my desk about killing bandwidth!!!! helloooooooo as long as i send within the department it doesn't touch bandwidth!!

And BTW - thanks for all the links and help.

When I receive a new version, I take notes while I try out all
the new features. I make the notes available to all users via
an intranet site. My notes resemble a quick tips n tricks sheet.

I wish I could have a lunch and learn. I am lucky just to get lunch!

All of these great replies and none of my AUGI buddies mentioned my ATP course (http://www.augi.com/education/default.asp?page=728)"What's new in AutoCAD 2008"?

Seriously, that hurt my feelings, where's the love for the Augi.Doggie?

I was the lucky one picked to learn the new features or 2008 and "train" the other cad monkeys in our next CAD meeting. I plan on using this to learn it myself and then I'll be printing a few copied to hand out.
