AU2008: PowerTracks

This year’s AU will feature close to 600 sessions, divided into 20 tracks. We will also have 6 (maybe 7) PowerTracks. PowerTracks are designed to focus on specific aspects of each of the products or industries they cover and to give attendees an in-depth learning experience. Most PowerTracks will have 10 to 12 90-minute sessions and each PowerTrack will be managed by a PowerTrack lead. PowerTrack sessions have different requirements and deadlines for presenters and as a group will provide more than an individual session does—both onsite and on AU Online after the event.

PowerTracks we are considering for AU 2008 and topics we are looking for include:

AutoCAD

  • 3D—Create, Modify and Visualization
  • Customize—CUI, Action Recording & Scripts
  • Programming—AutoLISP, AutoCAD .NET, VBA
  • Intelligent Annotation—Tables, Fields, Data Extraction & Annotate Scaling
