Synergis Engineering Design Solutions Sponsors Regional AUGI Manufacturing User Conference


QUAKERTOWN, Pa., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Synergis(R) Engineering Design Solutions, a division of Synergis Technologies and an Autodesk Premier Solution Provider, today announced it is the exclusive sponsor of the North Atlantic region's Autodesk User Group International (AUGI) Manufacturing User Conference to be held on Tuesday, February 6, 2007 at the Hotel Bethlehem in historic Bethlehem, PA. The event is a half-day of quality, professional, productivity training that is perfect for AutoCAD(R) users, customers not using their Autodesk Inventor(R) software to capacity, and those using competitive software and curious about what they're missing.

AUGI has enlisted highly acclaimed instructors, who are among the top professionals in their respective fields, such as Robert Green, David Piggott and Matt Murphy, to deliver practical advice, technical training, and a working plan to help 2D users make the most of their transition to 3D and enhance their Autodesk manufacturing product skills. They will also share best practices and information aimed at helping 2D and 3D users stay up-to-date on the continuous advances in Autodesk technology and the key trends and issues facing the manufacturing industry.

AUGI will offer something for everyone at this conference with both management and technical tracks to choose from. Managers will gain organizational insight, cost control strategies and information on how to minimize disruptions during their company's transition to 3D solid modeling. In addition, they will walk away with clear, proven plans for managing and implementing a successful migration from AutoCAD to Autodesk Inventor software. Those on the technical track will get practical technical training specifically designed for 2D users entering the 3D world of mechanical design- including instruction on how to successfully move AutoCAD drawings into Inventor and back. The technical take home materials, alone, should help facilitate a smooth transition to 3D.

Not-to-be-missed sessions include:
-- Survival Skills for Today's Manufacturing Industry

Design Environment
