Architectural Desktop Brain Dump Collection

The following is a collection of brain dumps by ADT developers and power users. Brain Dumps are unofficial ramblings of the software. The papers are organized by the version of ADT they were written during. Note that concepts and functionality have evolved over time, may no longer be applicable, and are provided as-is. Please do not email the authors directly, but feel free to post any related feature questions to the Autodesk Discussion Groups @ www.autodesk.com/discussion.
