3 What is AUGI? AUGI is the Autodesk User Group International, officially recognized by Autodesk as representing the Autodesk user community. AUGI has two prime directives: The first is to assist its members by presenting programs and information that will enhance their use of Autodesk solutions; the second is to deliver the voice of the user community to Autodesk, thus assisting Autodesk in product development and giving users a say in the process. What does AUGI do? AUGI provides an environment for users to help users. We offer programs and services that provide the Autodesk user community access to one another and to Autodesk. Our goal is to implement programs that are lacking in the Autodesk user environment rather than compete with programs already available to users. Our motto is Users Helping Users.

One of our AUGI Media Account Executives can work with you to devise a plan that will encompass multiple media opportunities to help you gain the most exposure. From highly targeted learning and networking events, to industry publications, to highly trafficked international websites, AUGI s media opportunities and programs allow sponsors to convey their messages and engage the Autodesk user community to drive their companies growth. I work for a housing developer just outside greater London in England. Although I have been working with Autodesk products for over 15 years, the company has only recently made the transition from a more basic product. Due to the requirements of the business, a number of issues regarding drafting techniques became apparent without obvious solutions. I registered with AUGI and posted some of my questions on the forums hoping to get some feedback. I was more than surprised to find a number of more than useful responses and ideas within just a couple of hours. I now check the forums on a regular basis as I feel they have become an invaluable source of information.
