Updated 11/4/2013: I’ve just added several more end of year specials for Survey with IntelliCAD, Takeoff Suite, Construction, Trench, GeoTech, Survey with IntelliCAD and manuals and more… Remember to Add Coupon for best pricing!

Carlson jumped the gun a bit and announced their year-end specials today… Special pricing will end at noon on 12/31/2013. In addition, all software purchases through 12/31  include 2 hours of online training.

Check out my online store and make sure to pick the item’s “Add Coupon” button for best pricing:

Carlson Civil Suite including one year of upgrades/maintenance

Carlson Survey 2014 with embedded AutoCAD

Carlson CADNet 2014 including one year of upgrades/maintenance

CADNet is a new module for 2014 – broken out of Takeoff. CADNet has tools for digitizing, importing raster and vector data from images and PDFs, merging two image files, BIM data and more. Check out this recent webinar introducing Carlson CADNet to see how powerful it is.

After several years of the same format for our end of year workshops, we’ve changed it up a bit this year.

For the first time, we will have one full day in both Statesville and Raleigh NC dedicated to Surveying and GIS topics and an additional day focusing on Civil and Hydrology topics. Each day will also include a unique presentation of the popular CAD Tips & Tricks session that, hopefully, sends everyone home with something they can use the next day.

In addition, we’re conducting 1/2-day events in Wilmington and Hendersonville (Asheville area) covering a variety of topics.

Each full-day class will give NC licensed surveyors and engineers 8 PDH credits and the 1/2 day events are eligible for 4 PDH credits. All events include lunch, software pricing specials and giveaways.

A colleague pointed me to this post on the CADTechs group on LinkedIn:

Autodesk today said it would discontinue the ability to purchase software upgrades on February 1, 2015

Greater Raleigh AE firm looking for CAD talent. C3D 2012 Drafter for machine modeling, site survey, construction and engineering projects.

Carlson experience is a plus and Microstation/Geopak a double plus. Our ideal candidate will be able to learn new software quickly, have a good understanding of survey mapping and site civil design. For consideration, Drafter must be willing to take the lead, work on computer all day, have a stellar attitude, able to pass drug screening and have a good driving record.
