Autodesk are now offering EXTRA learning tools with both AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD LT2011! It's nice to see that these extras come free when you purchase either AutoCAD product from the Autodesk eStore. The offer runs from November 22nd 2010 to Jan 3rd 2011.

(Apologies for being a day late - away on business!) :-)

Both sets of learning tools come on an AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT branded USB drive and both USB drives will be loaded with the ebook, AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011: No Experience Required by Donnie Gladfelter, a Tips and Tricks booklet and a thank-you letter with links to additional resources.

Depending on which AutoCAD product you buy, you will also get the following on the appropriate USB drive: -

AutoCAD Buyers:

AutoCAD buyers on the eStore will receive an AutoCAD branded USB drive loaded with:

• The eBook, AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011: No Experience Required
• Lynn Allen’s Tips and Tricks for Using AutoCAD 2011
• A thank-you note that includes links to helpful online resources
• Plus 2GB of Memory on the drive

AutoCAD LT Buyers:

AutoCAD LT buyers on the eStore will receive an AutoCAD LT branded USB drive will include:

• The eBook, AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011: No Experience Required (same book as the AutoCAD version gets)
• Kate Morrical’s Tips and Tricks for Using AutoCAD LT 2011
• A thank-you note that includes links to helpful online resources
• Plus 2GB of Memory on the drive

This is a great idea from Autodesk to increase the learning assistance you get with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, plus you get Donnie Gladfelter's great book and if you are new to AutoCAD, it lives up to expectations, no experience required, as per the title.

You also benefit from tips and tricks from the lovely AutoCAD experts, Lynn Allen (AutoCAD)and Kate Morrical (AutoCAD LT). What these ladies don't know about AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT really isn't worth knowing because they pretty much know everything! Again, great AutoCAD info that all helps your AutoCAD knowledge base!

All in all, a great idea from those AutoCAD bods at Autodesk, especially for new users!

Happy CADD'ing!
