Mark Dix (Beverley, MA) began working with AutoCAD in 1985 as a
programmer for CAD Support Associates Inc. He helped design a
system for creating estimates and bills of material directly from
AutoCAD drawing databases for use in the automated conveyor
industry. This system became the basis for systems still widely in
use today. In 1986, he began collaborating with Paul Riley to
create AutoCAD training materials, combining Riley's background in
industrial design and training with Dix's background in writing,
curriculum development, and programming. Dix and Riley have created
tutorial teaching methods for every AutoCAD release since version
2.5. Mr. Dix has a Master of Arts in Teaching from Cornell
University and a Masters in Education from the University of
Massachusetts.
Paul Riley (Needham, MA) has been an instructor and designer
specializing in graphics and design of multimedia. He is a founding
partner of CAD Support Associates, a contract service and
professional training organization for computer aided design. His
15 years of business experience and 20 years of teaching experience
are supported by degrees in education and computer science. Paul
has taught AutoCAD at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell and
Mt. Ida College in Newton, MA. He has developed a program, Computer
Aided Design for Professionals, that is highly regarded and has
been an ongoing success for the past 15 years.
