Many of us are sending our kids off to school at this time of

are a few ideas for training and research topics that you need
to keep up on...
- What's new in the tools you use
- Plotting
- DWG exchange methods
- Deliverable options
- Archiving of your data - what is new?
- Licensing options for your software
- Methods of keeping your users informed
- Software patches, upgrades and fixes
