AutoCAD Exchange: Have you stopped by lately?

Autodesk recently reworked their AutoCAD Exchange website.  If you haven't heard of it, AutoCAD Exchange is a website created by Autodesk meant to be a central online community where users of AutoCAD and AutoCAD Vertical programs can go for support and information.  Gabrielle Friedly, AutoCAD Exchange Community Manager was kind enough to write a guest post for CAD-a-Blog that discusses AutoCAD Exchange and its new features.  Here is her post:

If AutoCAD Exchange were a movie, I might invite you to “see it again for the first time.” That’s because we recently gave this popular site a new look and feel.

We launched AutoCAD Exchange in March 2009. An average of 70,000 visitors now stop by every month to access learning and productivity tools, discussions, and blog posts related to the AutoCAD® family of products. They also ask questions of colleagues, share work in the design showcase, and network with one another. Based on the feedback from these visitors, we’ve now made it easier to find, view, and experience the content that makes you even more productive with AutoCAD software. Here’s a preview of what we’ve done. 

CAD-a-Blog on Facebook

CAD-a-Blog now has it's own page on Facebook.  We are just starting out so our followers are few, but mighty!  Right now we have 37 followers.  Let's get that number up!  Once we get enough followers we can get a very special CAD-a-Blog URL, for now, we have to use this ugly one:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/CAD-a-Blog/117662314918689?v=wall

See what I mean? Most of the blog posts from CAD-a-Blog will be linked on this Facebook page.  However, there will also be little tid-bits of info that I pass along that are not "blog worthy" but good to have.  I will share other links and such through this page.  There is also a place for discussions or questions that you might have about anything CAD related.

Also, if you have a Twitter account, you can follow me here:

No CAD-a-Blog doesn't have it's own Twitter feed yet, but maybe one day we will.  What do you think about a Pod Cast?  In my spare time maybe.

If you need Training in AutoCAD, check out the CAD-a-Blog Store.  Right now we have a video that I made called AutoCAD Fundamentals.  It is geared for anyone that has never used, or hardly used AutoCAD.
