New Year, New Look

Happy New Year! AECbytes is starting the year 2006 with a new look. Hope you find it pleasing to the eye and easy to read and navigate.

AECbytes starts this month by publishing its second annual selection of reader responses and feedback received in 2005. In the absence of a formal "Letters to the Editor" section, this selection, captured in AECbytes Viewpoint #21, serves to showcase what readers think about the publication and the issues that it covers.

Also on the agenda are two newsletters capturing the conference highlights and product annoucements of two key trade shows being held in January: Macworld 2006 in San Francisco from Jan 10 to Jan 13, and Technology for Construction 2006 in Las Vegas from Jan 16 to Jan 19. Similar to last year, the Technology for Construction conference features an Executive Forum, which will be covered in this month's Building the Future series, along with some general sessions I was able to attend.

Last but not the least, don't miss the four Tips and Tricks articles published this month: Master Layouts in ArchiCAD's PlotMaker
Creating More Specific Wall Tools in Autodesk Architectural Desktop
"Get it to Go" in ArchiCAD
Flattening PDF Annotations in Adobe Acrobat

Thank you!
