    Hi Travis I really enjoyed your class on Impression, having looked at Impression now and again in the past it was great to get an overview of how it can work properly! Will you be sharing any course notes or datasets from your session? 12-17-2008 5:37PM

    Hi Paul, I wasn't planning to post anywhere, in their entirety they're quite large, but everything you saw in the course can be done with any DWG/DWF file. A number of the styles/blocks ship with the product and you can find additional ones from the product installation folder. There is a Libraries directory that contains additional blocks and styles that you can open and use. If you are a subscription member, there are eLearning lessons posted that have links to download some of the datasets that I used as well. 12-18-2008 9:32AM

    Travis, When you presented, you used a tool that allowed you to circle and point out things in the presentation. Can you tell me what the tool was that allowed you to quickly switch from a mark-up tool back to the original powerpoint presentation? Thanks so much. Bill Perez 12-10-2008 5:09PM

    Hi Bill,
    There are a few options that you have. You can google presentation tools and find a few. There are pay applications that are actually quite cheap and some of them are shareware, so you can get them for free. Check out some called Pointer, ePointer, and ZoomIt (I prefer ZoomIt).     12-12-2008 9:05PM
