Welcome
We're not going to yell at you in this newsletter. We won't even make fun of your height or where you're from. And you're safe from having to scrub floors with your toothbrush. In this issue, we're going to focus on something basic: training.
We know what you're thinking. You don't need training. You don't have the time for training. Training is admitting defeat (you feel the same way about directions - both reading or asking for them). But it comes down to this: you don't know what you don't know. And quite frankly, things change (like new technology and features in KeyCreator Direct CAD).
So, whether you're a long-time KeyCreator veteran or a fresh Direct CAD recruit, we want you to be all you can be (highly productive). And the only way to do that is by educating yourself, including tips and training from the experts (that's us). Read on for some free training opportunities, software tricks, as well as formal class information.
And no, you don't have to address us as "sir."
