Autodesk University Preview - What classes am I doing? I will be teaching classes at AU 2007 again this year. I have refreshed and refined the classes I have done before.

The concept of setting up processes and guidelines in order to prevent things from going wrong. In contrast, reactive management responds to problems as they arise. This is part of the job, but can often create a need to constantly respond to (but not avoid) problems. Like the preventative measure of changing the oil in your car, there are preventative CAD Management methods you can put into place to avoid having troubles in the future.
