Comments on: AutoCAD 2009 - Do your old drawings need recovery? http://www.blog.cadnauseam.com/2008/05/30/autocad-2009-do-your-old-drawings-need-recovery/ A strange mix of AutoCAD, music, image manipulation and video Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:43:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Steve Johnson http://www.blog.cadnauseam.com/2008/05/30/autocad-2009-do-your-old-drawings-need-recovery/comment-page-1/#comment-336 Steve Johnson Sat, 31 May 2008 00:33:59 +0000 http://www.blog.cadnauseam.com/?p=109#comment-336 Mike - Thanks for the suggestion, I have modified the link accordingly. I remember when the last Autodesk web site update killed most of the useful Autodesk links out there. The trouble is, the Marketing URLs aren't always obvious or easy to find. They can be deduced on the KB articles, but the other ones can be elusive. Shaan's list is useful but a long way short of being comprehensive. So we're expected to use the Marketing URLs but we're not told what they are. If there was a permalink on each page, that would help a lot.
