Create something 'in a cell' somewhere, and voila, it appears when you are in another cell using a pull down menu that accesses the element, annotation, profile, material, etc you made. For first year students, I don't show all the 'doors', I keep a couple for surprise showings. That helps the memory retention. And besides, I am still finding the 'doors' myself!!<br />cheers<br />pbpeternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-16377120158300105892012-08-28T18:01:54.668-07:002012-08-28T18:01:54.668-07:00The door is a nice metaphor and work.

I'll definitely be using this little analogy in the future… I currently use a ‘Super Mario’ analogy, that finds ‘hidden’ buttons, or ‘coins’.Michael Clothierhttp://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=190279250&trk=tab_pronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-41280254391761943412012-08-28T14:38:52.943-07:002012-08-28T14:38:52.943-07:00Sometimes I think the spare keys are in the top le...Sometimes I think the spare keys are in the top left drawer only to realize someone moved the keys and now the door is locked. Yearly updates to the various Autodesk applications that we support leave me feeling like this at times.Brian Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106073847638310692noreply@blogger.com
