Best of CAD Notes: 20 Most Viewed in 2009

Before we continue with new tutorials and tips, let’s look back a little. There are over 140 articles in CAD notes after 7 months running. I know it’s not such a big number, but it’s interesting to see what people want to see on CAD Notes. So I look into CAD Notes statistics on Google Analytics and make a list: “which articles are visited the most?”. It might not show the real popularity, as some posts just have been there first, and the others just have been published for several days.

Let’s make it short: These are the lists of 20 most viewed articles in CAD Notes from June 2009 to December 2009. 10 AutoCAD, 5 for Revit and MicroStation each. AutoCAD has the most articles, so I put 10 on the list. Next year, I wish I can list 10 articles for MicroStation and Revit. Here we go!
