Are we being kept informed

[Anonymous]

I found these two articles to do with Inventor in a newsletter I get from
Cadalyst - http://www.CADALYST.com/newsline/

The first article I can only remember being mentioned as an aside from another
issue, I think Sean said it was a tough exam. I feel that Adesk could do more to
keep us informed - via CommCentre, if it works properly - particularly the
subscription customers.

My dad owned a successful small shop, he had two adages. The customer always
comes first and the customer is always right. Maybe that's why he was so
successful.

The second issue - below - hasn't been mentioned anywhere to the best on my
knowledge, even in this newsgroup.

So for everybody's information ...

6. NEW PROGRAM CERTIFIES INVENTOR USERS
Autodesk introduced the Autodesk Inventor Certified Expert Program
and will conduct a four-hour hands-on and written examination for
Inventor 7 at Autodesk University on December 3. Registration fee,
including study materials, is US$495, although at Autodesk
University you'll pay US$195. Certification must be renewed with
each new release through a shorter renewal exam (US$95) that focuses
on new features and functionality. For more information and a list
of testing centers, go to:

7. AUTODESK INVENTOR BUG: SCREWY SPREADSHEETS
When you add new rows to an embedded Excel spreadsheet in an
Inventor (IDW) file, the new rows don't appear when you switch back
to Inventor. Autodesk says this is caused by a limitation in the
Excel Object Linking Extension. Workaround is to edit the
spreadsheet and copy the cells you've edited to the Clipboard. Close
Excel and in Inventor, select Object from the Insert menu. Select
Microsoft Excel Worksheet and click OK. Excel will open. Paste the
cells into the new spreadsheet, save it, and close Excel. Switch
back to Inventor, place the cells in your file, check the file
against the original, then delete the original cells.
