The first is to assist its members by presenting programs and information that will enhance their use of Autodesk products. The second is to deliver the voice of the user community to Autodesk, thus assisting Autodesk in product development and giving users a say in the process. 1990: Mystery Meet/Meat The North American Autodesk User Group (NAAUG) was the original brainchild of John Forbes, then a senior Autodesk representative.

If you open and save a damaged file without fully recovering it, you may overwrite a good BAK
