AutoCAD Tips Newsletter: Keep track of what you’ve done with COPYHIST and more

Dear Subscriber,

Please forward this newsletter to colleagues who want to learn more about AutoCAD. If you received this newsletter from a colleague, sign up for your own copy at EllenFinkelstein.com.

It's getting cool here in Iowa where I live, although we haven't had a frost in the southern part of Iowa yet. After the lazy summer, fall is a time of getting back to work. These two tips will help you work more efficiently.

In this issue:

  1. Keep track of what you've done with COPYHIST
  2. Select objects: prompt secrets

1, Keep track of what you've done with COPYHIST

AutoCAD allows you to copy the command line history window to the clipboard by using the COPYHIST command. The command line history is the window just above the command line. This way you can keep track of previous commands already executed in case you want to...

Learn more!

2. Select objects: prompt secrets

In a recent post, "Avoid reselecting objects when editing commands go wrong," I wrote about using the Previous option when you have the Select objects: prompt. (This was from a tip contributed by Brian Glover.)

Based on the comments, I realized that other hidden selection options might be useful to you as well.

Discover the secrets and maybe contribute some of your own!

Double Your Leads with This Little Tactic

TODAY'S ARTICLE...

Double Your Leads with This Little Tactic


Want to double the amount of leads your
getting with the same amount of traffic?

It's simple to do using this little
tactic.

I've been using this tactic for some time
now and it has dramatically increased the
amount of leads that I generate without
having to increase my website traffic.

But before I tell you what this tactic is,
let me share with you a brief story.

___________

The Book
__________

A few weeks ago I had a friend tell me
about a book.

When I read the title of the book, I had
no desire to read it.

But my friend insisted that I not only
read it, but implement a few of the
strategies in the book.

On his recommendation, I bought the book
and it turned out to be good and it DID
have several strategies that I could use.

I was happy he recommended to me.

So I went from not really caring for this
particular book, to reading it with
interest.

The reason for this was because my friend
"framed" the book in a way that captured
my interest.

And THAT'S what I want to talk to you
about today.

_________

FRAMING
_________


"Framing" can dramatically increase the
amount of leads you generate in any lead
generation campaign.

In fact, I would not think of implementing
a lead generation program without using
some form of framing.

Framing is when you send people to
something (a video, an audio, a letter)
that PRE-SELLS the next step.

So before I send someone to an optin page,
I'll always send them to a short video
that pre-sells the optin page.

_______________________________________

How To Write a Framing Video Script
_______________________________________

When you write a framing script, you need
to put yourself in the clothes of the
visitor.

So for example, if I'm talking to someone
who just came from my Marketing Best
Practices newsletter, I'll talk about
business stuff.

If I'm talking to people who are coming
from my GivingPraise.com newsletter, I'll
talk about Christian stuff.

You must ALWAYS talk directly to your
audience using THEIR language and
terminology.

You also want to give reasons why the
viewer should take the next message they
are going to hear very seriously and act
on it.

You also should sell the call to action to
click the link to move to the next step.

____________________

Real Life Examples
____________________

Here's three excellent examples of what
I'm talking about.

WATCH ALL THREE and note the differences
in each of them.

Framing page # 1: This is for people
coming from my MarketingBestPractices.com
newsletter.

http://www.MyUltimateHomeBusiness.com

Framing page # 2: This is for people
coming from my GivingPraise.com
newsletter.

http://www.GivingPraise.com/AwesomeProduct

Framing page # 3: This is for people
coming from my AppreciateLife.com
newsletter.

http://www.MyUnusualHomeBusiness.com

All three of these examples are brief
videos that pre-sell the next step.

So when people actually go to the "next
step" they are predisposed to act on the
call to action on that page.

I'm telling you right now that using
FRAMING can double, triple or quadruple
the amount of leads and sales you
generate, from the same amount of traffic
that you're currently getting.

Dear Ed -- thanks for subscribing.

If you caught my last message, you'll recall I was talking about how much is changing our field. Now I want to focus on what hasn't changed.

The best work still requires a smart idea, a compelling appeal, and a clear call to action. But the toughest test is a philosophical one: Will the work be better for it?

I hope what you find here helps you in your work, Chuck 


Check out my Adobe InDesign Ideabook: 315 template files in 19 different categories

See a word or phrase rendered in every typeface loaded on your computer

Wordmark is wonderful online tool that allows you to see words and phrases in all of the typefaces loaded on your computer. So, for example, I can type in "ideabook" and see it rendered in all of the hundreds of the typefaces on my system -- every family and every typeface within them.

A Pro version allows you to save selections, zoom in and out, toggle cases, adjust spacing and so on (free for one month).

Thanks to Jay Nelson and Design Tools Monthly for pointing us to it.

Art Director: What the heck was I thinking?!

Anyone who has ever art directed product photography for a catalog will appreciate the kind of situations that Catalog Living makes fun of. If you've done enough of it, you've had at least one occasion when you asked yourself something like, "What the heck was I thinking when I put a watermelon on the couch?!"

Catalog Living spoofs images from catalogs such as Arhaus, West Elm, and Pottery Barn. Photographs that, in an effort to be attractive (at times), end up being a bit bizarre.

A graphic designer's friend: the CIA

If you're searching for current imagery and information about the countries (and entities) of the world, the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) publishes an excellent, up-to-date resource titled The World Factbook - in print and online.

In addition to photographs, maps, flags, and so on of all the current entities (267 at this writing) it includes a written snapshot on each country's history, people, government, economy, geography, communications, transportation, and military.

More good news: The World Factbook is in the public domain. That means much of it can be used without permission of the CIA - but be sure to read the copyright pages. (You cannot, for example, use the CIA seal.)

Meet illustrator and designer Tom White

I was surprised to find I've never pointed you to Tom White - he is a long-time favorite of mine - in my never-to-be-humble opinion, one of (if not the) top lettering illustrators working today.

I want to use the word "meticulous" to describe his work but I'm afraid you'd think there was some negative associated with it. So I'll couch it by saying his work is "good meticulous" - his creations demonstrate an attention to detail, a sense of order and balance, and a level of technical expertise that (to me) firmly ensconce him in the top tier of designers.

As you'll see, White is a master of Photoshop and Illustrator. I hope someday he'll give us a peak behind the scenes at the techniques he uses to produce his broad portfolio of work.

The connection between decorative arts and graphic design

Why decorative arts? Because decorative arts, defined as the design and manufacture of functional objects, has many ties with graphic design.

The Digital Library for the Decorative Arts and Material Culture, "Collects and creates electronic resources for study and research of the decorative arts." I point you to it because I think there's value in understanding the foundation on which modern design is built.

Pentagram Design continues to attract top talent and to produce great work

Pentagram Design is owned and operated by 16 partners as an "independent design consultancy." As long as I can remember, it has been a place you could turn to to find some of the world's top creative thinkers.

Though the founders have all moved on, the system they instituted continues to attract top talent and to produce great work.

I not only like Michael Cho's style of illustration, I like his sometimes quirky concepts.
