Beyond the Paper

Help us choose the best sessions for AU2008

We're doing something new this year—we would like you to help us select the best 500-plus sessions.
We have uploaded all of the sessions (that were submitted by the deadline) to AU 2008 Session site and we need your input. Topics are organized under 19 tracks, which are either an industry or a product.  If you are considering attending AU, please take a few minutes to vote for sessions that you absolutely want to see.

Over the next few weeks, we will review all those submissions and whittle them down to the number we can actually physically accommodate in the Venetian Conference Center in Las Vegas.
Registration for AU will start on August 15th, and one week earlier for AU members.  Class schedules will be available for review by August 1st.

Thank you in advance for helping us select the most interesting classes. The deadline for voting is Saturday, May 3, 2008

Triangle Callout Limitation

Many users would like to change the default size of the triangle tag within Autodesk Design Review 2009; in most cases they are looking to increase the font size. Which would result in an incorrect display like this:

At this point, the font height has to be set to 12 pt or smaller, in order for a 2 digit number to show correctly in the default sized symbol - correctly looking like this:

To confirm - the default default size of the triangle is not adjustable at this point - not manually or through the API. The only known workaround is to modify the triangle by dragging out the handles, once the callout has been created.

We are looking into improving this feature in a future release.
