I wanted to mention that there are several AutoCAD tips published by Autodesk and many are for the new AutoCAD 2006. There are also tips for AutoCAD 2002, AutoCAD 2004, and AutoCAD 2005.  Some of these tips may have first appeared in the AutoCAD Communication Center tips and tricks for those with that feature enabled.
