Revit API Meeting of the Minds

Greetings ORUG members,

Hope all is well. We are currently planning our next meeting for June 2009. If you have any suggestions for topics please let me know.

In the meantime...

Are you a programmer at heart or in practice? Are you struggling to crack open and work with the Revit API? If so, you are invited to a lunch-meeting sponsored by CAD Microsolutions. We will be discussing how best to get started on the Revit Application Programming Interface and how we can best support each other while we learn.

Date: Friday, May 8th
Time: 12:00-2:00pm
Location: CAD Microsolutions, 65 International Boulevard Toronto ON M9W 6L9
Lunch will be provided

Revit 2010 When and How

The Revit Architecture 2010 release is fast approaching.

The when is the middle of April.

The how is a little more difficult...
Subscription customers must choose how they would like their software upgrades to be delivered this year (in Canada).

The delivery options are:
1. Do nothing. Your 2010 Autodesk software DVD / CD will automatically be shipped to you in 30 days. (add on top of this the delivery time which can take anywhere from a few days to weeks)
2. Download your 2010 Autodesk software using the Autodesk Subscription Center.
3. Login to the Autodesk Subscription Center to request a DVD / CD copy of your 2010 software and Autodesk will ship your DVD / CD after you submit your request.

If you need full instructions to get into subscription center call your reseller.
