A smash hit with readers, TIPniques offers helpful advice for users of various Autodesk products. Each month, TIPniques brings productivity-boosting and time-saving tips to AUGI members.

Best of AUGI Forums

We present, in question-and-answer format, comments from AUGI members seeking support and the sound advice given by fellow users. This is "reality publishing" at its best - the questions and answers are taken from actual communication among AUGI members who participate in the AUGI Guilds and the new AUGI Forums at www.AUGI.com.
