Hi PaQ,

You'll probably be ok with navigation pretty quick.

Mousewheel for zooming, right-drag in an ortho view for panning, right drag in Perspective view for orbiting.

Hold down shift and right-drag in the Perspective view for panning there.

Use ZoomTarget to zoom into a particular region (it's like MoI's zoom area tool).

To center and fill the view on a selected object, type zsa <space> all with your left hand. Space does the same as Enter, and zsa is an alias for an old command ZoomSelectedExtentsAll.

To view everything regardless of selection use zea <space>.

looks quite complete, but it's hard to know the quality when you dont know the subject very well.

>>>Btw any thought on this one ?

I'm not familiar with this one, seems OK but on the other hand I'm familiar with your modeling skills...I think you should be the one teaching them ;)

The reason I recommended cadjunkie is because his knowledge on various CAD systems...I also like his subscribe model...
