Hello all,
My company is starting to grow at a pretty fast rate. We are starting to have license issues with Autocad. We are starting to look at different software to manage who is using Autocad. We need to be able to see who's using it, how long they're on it, and if there's a way to get a...
I'll probably be banned for this, but I really beleive the situation goes both ways... I have worked with engineers who wait untill the last minute a job is due, then will unload fifty or so drawings and expects them to be done in two days, or they try to mark up 11x17 prints, and make the...
According to the article the engine does not use any external cooling system, which I thought would mean any weight gained by the water tank would be loss by the reduction of the entire cooling system. I know years back that Crower Cams was one of the premier designers in camshaft technology...
I have recently read in an automotive trade magazine that Bruce Crower of Crower Cams has designed and patented a new six stroke gasoline engine that uses steam produce a second power stroke that is produced from water injection. This engine design is supposed to produce equal horsepower, but a...
You could always convert the dwg to a pdf file and still view it in either autocad or adobe, there's a site with shareware software @ www.pdf995.com. Hope this helps..

I would say that it all depends on what the customer wants.. Most clients have their own layering standards. The client that we do work for does not want anything drawn on "0" layer, but that is not to say that is the case with all clients.
I forgot to mention, the reason that we don not use the plotstamp feature in Autocad is that they like having the name and date information physically in the file as a way to verify the markup matches the file.
Thanks again,
Don

Personally I think that outsourcing has alot of similarities to the dockside(trickle down) economic theory. Which makes me believe it favors the Republican viewpoint. It looks like outsourcing is going to benfit only the upper tax bracket by giving them another source of cheap labor. It also...
Hello All,
I've been watching this post with interest over the past couple of days, especially to the comments regarding the power side. I have worked in the power industry for over the past ten years, albeit a lonely designer, but in the industry never the less. I was laid off for the second...
At my company we use an autolisp routine called ddts, it will show the file location, filename, date, and time. It also saves the file in the current directory.If you want to try using it go ahead and paste the following lisp routine in notepad, and save it as ddts.lsp
Hope this...
Just be sure if they tell you that it could become permanent that you get a time frame, and something in writing. The last place I worked was originally contract through a job shop. It was supposed to go direct within three months, and didn't. I was there for about a year with no insurance and...

We had a similar problem here in the past when we upgraded to 2000 from version 14, you might want to try to open the xref's in 2004, and check how they look as a regular dwg. Also check to see that the layers and text styles are supported by 2004. You might also want to make sure to check that...
Hello all,
We recently upgraded to microstation version 8.1 and are experiencing problems with saving drawings to the LAN. The automatic save feature no longer works, and when you hit the save icon sometimes the file will save, and sometimes it will not. We did not have this problem in the...
