Ha! I LOVE this side discussion about "professors (mostly with higher age)"!
I've managed CAD in large design offices; I've taught AutoCAD (among many other things) in architecture programs at several universities across the U.S.... since 1988! I always railed on my students about staying current with features and not getting stuck in old ways of doing things that are commonplace in established offices...
- ctb files with pen tables? Color=Lineweight? Seriously?? There hasn't been a *pen* plotter in service since like 1994 - Use lineweights! Color to express... COLOR! WYSIWYG! ...and don't get me going on calling a printer a "plotter"...
- Dark background with negative image lines?? That's sooooo 1970's. Resist the darkness and move toward the light Luke! Dark screens in dim rooms are bad for your eyes... like reading by candle light.
- Sheet Set Manager rules! Markup Set Manager! A360!
- blah blah blah...
** BUT! **...
I have tried several times to encourage and force myself to use, and even to like, ribbon menus, and I can't do it. I've made myself work with them for months to get over the "old school" hump, but every time I come to the same conclusion... productivity declines precipitously with ribbon menus. Too many picks to get to where you're going. I use pre-ribbon menus, toolbars, context menus, grips, palettes, tool palettes, DesignCenter, stay away from the keyboard as much as I can, and things go much faster.
I'm the last one to stick to doing it a certain way just because it's the way I've been doing it, but I cannot convince myself that ribbon menus are better.
Peace.
crazy autocad witch since release 8
