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 OS? and Macintosh related applications including PowerCADD, iPhoto, .Mac?, 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 RSS? 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 over 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.

It always seems unfair to try and rate ones favorite things about a new software release. After all, we all have different needs, desires, and workflows. In all fairness I'll even admit that my own list of favorites is to a certain degree situational depending on the task or deadline at hand.
The task of creating a top 10 list gets even trickier when you put into the context the amount of time and effort programmers put into all the little things that make such a big difference. Often it's those little things that get overlooked during the months of beta testing as we get accustomed to them -- sadly they become just a one line sound byte (sorry for the pun) that never does them justice.
Still, for what it's worth, at the time of this writing here are my top 10 favorite things about PowerCADD 9, most favorite listed first.
