I feel your pain. i've been in the same boat for 45 years now. I've run from "negative engraving" to computers and thru 5 or 6 different cad packages.
The biggest probhlem is that the manuals that come with Carlson cover basically what each menu pull down does without a whole lot of "how to" thrown in.
Other than spending a boat load of cash going to 2 Carlson College training sessions, I have found the best tools are the training videos on this site. They do not cover everything, but what they do cover, they cover well. Sometimes you will find that little bit of "hidden information" within those videos.
Good luck in your quest and lean real hard on the bean counters to get you somr REAL training from a Carlson college member. They will recoup those costs in less than 30 days with your increased productivity.
(I found that whinning helped a lot. Nobody can stand listening to a 64 year old, fat man whine.
Their will power breaks down pretty quickly.
