Release your inner geek. Straight from our AutoCAD Software Development Team, a panel of hardcore experts on ObjectARX technology, AutoCAD software, Microsoft .NET, and LISP are ready to answer your questions about the inner workings of AutoCAD software and its APIs. If you're writing plug-ins for AutoCAD software, then this is the perfect forum to get to know the people who create the APIs you work with and meet your fellow programmers who use those APIs. Come and ask questions, add your expertise to the discussion, or just listen and learn.

In the past few years cyber attacks targeting the AutoCAD software product have increased. I'll discuss the vulnerabilities that the attackers have gone after, effective practices for working in a "connected" environment, and some available features in current releases of AutoCAD software that we can use to secure the working environment.

Back for the 5th successive year! Our panel of hardcore ObjectARX® and AutoCAD .NET experts from our AutoCAD software development team are ready to answer your programming questions. If you are writing plug-ins for AutoCAD software, then this is the perfect forum to get to know the people who create the APIs you work with as well as your fellow programmers who use those APIs. Come and ask questions, add your expertise to the discussion, or just listen and learn.

What are your favorite features in AutoCAD software? Over the years of teaching AutoCAD, I've built an extensive list of my favorite features and tips. In this class, we explore features from the beginning of AutoCAD up to AutoCAD 2014. This class is all about me sharing my love and passion for AutoCAD with you.

This class will present the AutoCAD software JavaScript API. Attendees will learn how to use this technology to create web- and cloud-based plug-ins. We will connect web capabilities to the JavaScript API technology, demonstrating how users can quickly create the AutoCAD Thin Client software plug-ins, utilizing amazing JavaScript libraries and obtaining a unique user experience with professional results.

With the release of the AutoCAD including specialized toolsets subscription last year, you can now also take your CAD projects on the go with the AutoCAD web app —the browser-based version of the original AutoCAD software. Shaun Bryant (CadJedi), a LinkedIn Learning [in]structor, will show you how to save from AutoCAD directly to your web and mobile apps. You will learn how to use the AutoCAD web app in Google Chrome, learn how to view and edit designs on the fly and in the field from a tablet or smartphone and communicate your designs from the field, and back to your AutoCAD desktop app. You will also learn how to access the tools from any mobile browser, sync your files across your mobile devices, upload files on the go, and edit drawings from a mobile browser—or sync them back to the desktop for closer inspection.

So, you have hundreds, and maybe thousands, of standard AutoCAD software drawings that represent your electrical designs, and you’re uncertain about moving to AutoCAD Electrical software because you think you’ll have to redraw all your electrical designs. Well, guess what? You don’t have to. AutoCAD Electrical software ships with conversion tools that enable you to convert the standard AutoCAD entities into smart AutoCAD Electrical content. This class will show you how to use enough of the conversion tools to get you on the right circuit to energize those individual drawings into a project that recognizes all of the drawings that represent your product. This session features AutoCAD Electrical and AutoCAD.

Shaun Bryant (CadJedi), a LinkedIn Learning [in]structor, will show you how to take your CAD projects on the road, utilizing the cloud and the AutoCAD web and mobile apps—the mobile and browser-based versions of the classic AutoCAD desktop software. There's no longer any need to hold large drawings down with bricks on-site in order to view them. Learn how to set up your desktop installation of AutoCAD to work with the cloud-based Web and Mobile folders. Discover how to view and edit designs on the fly and in the field from a tablet or smartphone. Using both the AutoCAD mobile app and the AutoCAD web app, you will learn how to access the tools from any mobile device or browser, sync your files across devices, and upload files on the go, as well as edit drawings from a mobile browser or sync them back to the desktop for closer inspection in the warmth of your office. You can even edit markups made in the field using the new Trace functionality!

Are you a MicroStation user moving to AutoCAD software? Is your company using both CAD packages? One of the first steps to success is to understand the differences between these CAD packages and learn to think like AutoCAD software. This session is designed to familiarize the experienced MicroStation user with AutoCAD software and its functionality. Learn what makes AutoCAD software such a successful CAD package and how you can be more productive in this environment. Learn how to capitalize on your MicroStation knowledge so this transition can be less stressful. Attending this session is guaranteed to improve your understanding of AutoCAD software, an essential skill if you are transitioning from another CAD package or working in a multiCAD environment.

We all know we can read and write an AutoCAD® DWG™ file without loading it into the AutoCAD editor. This increases the speed with which we can batch process AutoCAD files. If we go to the core of AutoCAD, however, we can process more files and do it faster than ever before. How do we do this? That is the question this class answers. See code. See code run. See code run fast. See code run faster. It's time to get to the core!

Knowing how to write AutoCAD software add-ins enables us to create new AutoCAD software commands that automate routine tasks, perform complex calculations, or integrate multiple systems to help us be more productive, more precise, and more effective. The use of Microsoft's free community edition of Visual Studio, together with the information presented in this class, will help anyone begin creating AutoCAD software add-ins with C# programming language immediately.

Learn to combine the power of Microsoft® Excel® with the power of AutoCAD software. This class will explore several ways you can use AutoCAD and Microsoft Excel in tandem without programming. You'll be able to apply everything learned in this class using an out-of-the-box installation of AutoCAD and Microsoft Excel. Conventional concepts will include working with Data Links to display, update, and manage Excel data from AutoCAD. Lesser-known concepts will include updating Update Block Attributes from Excel tables, combining Data Extraction tables with Excel (Data Link) tables, and writing AutoCAD script files using Excel.

Building on concepts originally introduced in AutoCAD 2013 SP 1.1, AutoCAD 2014 software implemented a much more stringent security model in place for applications. This has been introduced to combat the rise of malware that targets AutoCAD. This class teaches you everything you need to know about the new security features inside of AutoCAD and how to create apps that observe these new security features.

This class will provide a sneak peek into what's coming in future releases of AutoCAD software. We'll explore what the AutoCAD Team is working on and how will it help your teams.
