    Crower Six Stroke Engine

    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...

    Is there a way to "lock" a .dwg file so it can't be modified?

    Do you draw on the 0 'zero' layer?

    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.

    Date stamp with user's name

    Who is to blame for US outsourcing

    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...

    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...
