Here's a few books on AutoCAD 2000. These are all linked over to Amazon which has added a "wish list" so you can add books and stuff that you would like, and then send the wish list out to people who don't know what to get you for Christmas or Chanukah:
Y2k & Updates The new millennium is almost upon us. Those of you still using AutoCAD 12 have only a few days left to upgrade to 2000 or loose forever your right to upgrade your product. It also means that you only have a few days left to make sure that everything on your machine is Y2k compliant. If you are using Windows 98 you might want to check out Microsoft's Windows 98 Update site. Many people aren't on the DSL bandwagon yet and are crawling around at 56k or even worse, 28k modems. If that describes you, or if you have 15 computers and don't want to download for each of them the updates, check out MS's site because you can now order free a CD that contains the entire bunch of bug fixes. If you are still using Windows95 then you should take a look at MS's Win95 y2k page and make sure you are up to date. Otherwise, AutoCAD on it's own is y2k compliant. If you are using an old machine (486 or Pentium) you might want to make sure it's going to know which end is up. When the computer first starts it will tell you to "Press the Delete Key to enter Setup". Some machines this is may be the F2 key or ESC key. Once in the BIOS be very, very careful. Do not change anything but the date. Change the date to somewhere in the middle of next year, save the changes and reboot. Go into windows and make sure all is well, then go back out into the BIOS and reset the clock. This isn't a foolproof method, but it's a simple test and one that most people can do. Obviously if you are still using a Pentium or 486 to be doing AutoCAD you should really consider upgrading to a faster machine. Top Tens And now, in the fashion of David Letterman and his top ten lists, here's our list of top 20 things not to do when sending a drawing to a consultant. (In other words if your doing these things to your drawings before sending them out, you're more than likely annoying your consultants)
