    Decided to visit these comments in the middle of my work day to thank you. I've already used the search tool in the header several times and have been copying layouts with the cntrl+click drag a lot. Seriously love these videos! Despite using CAD for several years I JUST realized that I can pan orthogonally by clicking pan, and then holding shift. Normally combos with clicks you hold the key down first, which would result in a 3D rotate. My point in this being, that perhaps navigation should be a portion of a future video. Seems like something super basic, but that makes it easy to overlook things. Big thanks Jeff! Love these videos.

    Priceless content! As someone who never used Vanilla AutoCAD but started my career straight away in Civil 3D (which I think has benefited me greatly with regard to my learning all the ins and outs of Civil 3D) I find I am often slowed up by the basic (often tedious) AutoCAD tasks every project still requires. These sessions are goldmines to a user like me as they reveal more efficient workflows that I would have never found on my own or even on the Autodesk Knowledge Network as I wouldn't have known what to look for. Very awesome and generous of you to share. Greatly appreciated.
