About the Learning Center
The caddpower.com Learning Center is your starting point if you're looking for How To articles, tutorials, problem solving tips and techniques, or information on a variety of Mac OSi and Macintosh related applications including PowerCADD, iPhoto, .Maci, Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and others.
We're always adding content to the Learning Center so check back often. Registered caddpower.com visitors can take advantage of our RSSi News Feed and subscribe to receive the latest Learning Center articles right at our finger tips! (and yes, we have a How To on how to do that). Remember, the Learning Center is searchable and contains detailed, step by step instructions on what to do and are often accompanied by demonstration movies
Note: To better serve both high and low bandwidth visitors, and conserve server resources, demo movies typically do not contain audio. Rather, we illustrate the menu and dialog commands and have written step by step instructions. Not only does this save bandwidth but it also allows visitors with other language versions to associate the menu item positions in English with the equivalent position in their language.
Getting Started is easy
The Learning Center contains premium content available to registered caddpower.com visitors.
Our PowerCADD User section of the Learning Center contains content on what we consider to be the best 2D design and drafting product available on the Macintosh. What you'll find here isn't available any place else on the web and is based on almost two decades of real world design and product use with the Macintosh and PowerCADD. Being part of the Alpha and Beta testing process for this release (and previous ones for over a decade), also gives us important insights about the product and how new features are integrated into the design and production process.
caddpower.com is pleased to offer a variety of Libraries for online distribution. Please take a moment to read this filei, it provides an overview of important information designed to help you get the most out of these Libraries.
What do the Libraries "Do" ?
Each component in a Library is a Time Machine.
Ask yourself "how long would it take me to create 'that' " or "how much faster can I generate a better looking drawing if I use 'that'... then multiply the answer by how many times you might use a component, or how many other people in your office may use a component and you quickly understand why we say Libraries are in fact time machines.

It's been about two years since we upgrade the site to the Drupal based CMSi but it was time to freshen things up and lay the groundwork for the future. Since it's April, we figured now was as good a time as any for some Spring Cleaning. As we noted in this article, we rolled out some new features earlier this month. While those changes were essentially a few features we wanted to share, we still had more work to do -- and that work is now complete (sure, we're still cleaning up a bit but have you ever noticed how that part of the job always takes the longest!).
As part of our continuing efforts to improve our site and quality of services for guests and clients, we have completed the upgrade to Drupal 5.7 from Drupal 4.7. Here's a brief run down on what's changed and why:
