AGENDA

* Light Dinner Refreshments ($5 Donation) / Reception & Hobnobbing

* Welcome,  Introductions,  General Announcements:
(Note Evan Shu is still collecting to pay for the Geoff Langdon Memorial
Projector that DBUG has purchased. If you can donate $20 to that effort, it will
be very much  appreciated!)

* Show & Tell: the Smart Car -- Check out Mark Madura's new set of wheels!

* DataCAD 12: Design, Presentation, and Drafting
        by Mark F. Madura, DataCAD President and CEO
Most DataCAD users don't get paid until their working drawings get done.
Therefore, many of DataCAD's features are geared toward two-dimensional
production drawing.  However, DataCAD includes functions for design and
presentation that are often overlooked.  Normally, these tasks precede the
documentation phase.  Using a small residential project as an example, Mark will
demonstrate how he uses DataCAD's functionality for design and presentation, as
well as drafting. Also, Jim Horecka's "six plates" method will also be
discussed. (Note: this is not a repeat of January's topic but rather an
extension including all the material Mark did not get to cover at that meeting.)

* DBUG at AIA! Special Note:
we have scheduled the May DBUG meeting to coincide
with the AIA convention. It will be held at the Boston Society of Architects
Bldg., May 16, 2008 Friday evening (4-6 pm informal reception, demo time, with
program to begin at 6 pm).

Note: AIA Members & Massachusetts Registered Architects can earn
3 CEU credits for attending.
