A Common Language
One of the largest and loudest complaints I receive year over year is the lack of a common language for the newest software UI. “They” changed the name or icon for this or that. I can’t find this – it was right here. Some time I wish they would just Read the <insert appropriate French [...]

In this video, Jack Strongitharm of Autodesk shows the difference in building an [...]
