The big news this week is Autodesk's announcement that, after several threats over the years, they are killing the
Land Desktop and Civil 3D Land Desktop Companion products. This is big news that Land Desktop users have been dreading
to hear. What does it mean? For those who want to stay with Autodesk products and keep current with each new release,
it means you'll need to migrate to Civil 3D. For those who do not mind falling a few versions behind, your current Land
Desktop software will continue to serve your needs. This announcement may also be the catalyst that jumpstarts your
investigation of non-Autodesk software. If so, Carlson Software provides an outstanding alternative in their Carlson
Survey, Civil, Hydrology and GIS programs. These can be purchased separately or together in their Civil Suite. You'll
find plenty of Carlson information included in the website.

That CAD Girl Partners with Carlson Desktop Solutions
We are also pleased to announce another strategic partnership with Carlson Desktop Solutions. Carlson Desktop Solutions is headed up by Paul Carlson and is a Carlson and Autodesk software dealer, training and support center having multiple offices across the state of Texas.
As with Raptor Software, this does not constitute a merger or joining of two companies but simply provides all parties additional resources to benefit our customers.
I have found that Paul's philosophy toward software sales, training and support closely matches mine: Making sure you are using the software you NEED, not simply what a salesman is able to sell you and focusing on whether or not you LEARN the software, not simply following perfect (and unrealistic) examples typically provided by the software manufacturer.
While our experience with the different survey, civil and construction software packages overlaps in many areas, Paul's team specializes in Carlson's data collection, machine control and stand-alone desktop software packages.
The Knowledge Base on Paul's website is a fantastic resource for AutoCAD and Carlson Software technical documents. Check it out here.

We conduct interviews with all participants, or their managers, to create a training class that specifically covers the areas most needed.
Custom Training can be held on your site or at our training center in Clayton, North Carolina.
$99 Productivity Assessments (travel charges may apply)
We know that the software you use is expensive and our goal is to make you and your office more productive so that you get more out of your investment.
For our Productivity Assessments, we visit your office and meet with managers or staff to evaluate current procedures. In a couple of hours we can make recommendations that can save valuable time and money. Sometimes just the suggestion of a new command or other available feature reduces time input from hours to minutes.
After our evaluation is complete you will receive a written report of our findings that will enable you to shift, juggle or make changes to increase the productivity in your office.
