Not about AutoCAD.This handy tip is about Christmas Cookies.Oh, yeah. Christmas Cookies are SO good fresh from the oven. But, now they've been sitting around for a couple of days and might be starting to get hard. Yes, don't drum up more business for your dentist (chances are he's still on vacation anyway), and don't throw away all of those delicious snacks!Take an airtight container (with a lid or press and seal saran wrap), put your cookies in it along with a piece of bread. Yep, any old piece of bread will do.Leave it there for awhile and when...

Alright... this command IS cool anyway.In AutoCAD 2005, you could merge multiple layers together into one via the Express Tools menu.Express > Layers > Layer Merge(LAYMRG from the command line, of course).You then have the option of selecting objects from the layers you want to merge, then Right-click and hit Enter and select an object on the layer you want to merge into (whoops! don't select that final layer in the initial selection, you'll...
From AutoCAD Help:Type: RealSaved in: DrawingInitial value: VariesStores the total editing time, which is the total elapsed time between saves of the current drawing.The format is:.To compute the number of seconds, multiply the decimal fraction in TDINDWG by 86400 seconds.I sort of stumbled upon this one when browsing through help and found it interesting. I called it up on a drawing I'm working on and it returned a result ofTDINDWG = 0.50413351 (read only)and when I follow the direction to convert the decimal fraction of a day, I see that it is...

Yep, I'm still alive, just trying to get some work done (yes, I've actually found a side gig THAT PAYS, see? I'm not a *total* sucker). On another note, remember, the AUGI Annual Salary Survey is coming out in the New Year. I have seen the prelim spread, and that graphics guy at AUGIWorld sure can work some magic from the pathetic sketches I gave him! It looks cool. So, wait by your mailbox in a few weeks and let me know what you think about the new layout and info provided.ANYWAY... I was just catching up with a couple of blogs before I log off...

Grrr. Stupid crashing firefox 2.0... just lost a great deal of work here. Grr. When I was at AU2006 I had the pleasure of attending a mixer for Facilities Management professionals by the Autodesk FMDesktop team. It was between the last Wednesday class and the Industry Mixer (we were in with the BSD on the Industry Mixer), but, they managed to squeeze it in there just for us, so that was truly appreciated.It was really fabulous for me to be able to hang around and speak with others who have so much experience and knowledge in CAD, Asset, Space and...
In recently sitting on an Industry Advisory Board session at a local technical college, the head of the department brought up a decision to look into an architecturally specific CAD package to add to their curriculum. They'd recently added Inventor to their mechanical courses and it was a big success. There was only one person sitting on the board who actually worked in Architecture. He's good at what he does, but he's busy. (sound like anyone you know? ok... put down the mirror now) He advised them to add Architectural Desktop (ADT)... he admitted...

Well, I pared my library down from 758 photos to just 190. Whew. Hopefully I've touched on only the best.These photos go from our trip to the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon to AU and related activities for Autodesk University and AUGI.I am making notes to talk about the AUGI Local Chapter Leaders Seminar, the Industry receptions, keynote, AUGI annual meeting and AUGI day celebrants. Lots of good stuff that I'm unable to cram all into a single post by the end of the evening.To those I met there, it was GREAT to see you, I wish we could have had more...
