Greetings everyone!

Back now from an internal trip at the ski resort Hemsedal, Norway. (Yes - I'm going to Zermatt as well, over Easter)
Hemsedal is a nice place. Go there on a vacation! ;-)

We rented a few motorized things and raced for while. I got cramp in my arms...

But the most fun machine was this one!! Not for rent, but I was allowed to try it out ;-) GREAT FUN!

Anyway - this night I got an e-mail from Autodesk Labs saying they have enhanced the "ShareNow" technology a bit.

It now supports all AutoCAD based products - also Civil 3D.

I tried it out (on my own risk of course...)
You have to log on to this page to get an free account,
http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/ShareNow/


Once downloaded and installed you get a small Toolbar in C3D.

Use it and it creates a DWF to be shared automatically.

It will also automatically bring up an web browser with a session that loads you design file.

You can zoom, pan etc

You can then Share the Session with others.

Set a Session name

An e-mail gets created...

Someone get an invite - and, yes I got it myself ;-)

Join the Session and you will see a list of participants (Graphics gets better than shown below)

All participants can zoom etc and also use the tools for Markup.

Some notes...

The markups gets saved in a list and if you "hover" over them you get "zoom to".

Give it a try - it's free... Just remember - it is a Lab thing...

Tomorrow I go to Las Vegas. It's "only" a 22 hour trip over three flight legs... I wonder how Sweden can be so "close" to all places...?

Cheers / Ove
