I'll admit it's been awhile since I'd thought about this product, but, a question on the autocad discussion groups reminded me of it today when I recommended it to a user.They were looking for a way to display the name of a block when they hover over it.I had to think for a second to remember the name, but, it finally came to me, Bubble for AutoCAD!I used this plug-in a lot when doing drawing cleanup from outside companies. Sometimes I couldn't quite tell what their blocks represented, or things weren't bylayer... having this pop up and tell me...

I'd spoken with a few people in the past couple of months about a problem we'd all been experiencing with making selections in ACA08.Whenever I would select my objects then choose a command (either from a button or from the right-click menu), my selection set would be cleared.But, when I typed the command or chose it from the 'recent commands' flyout in the right-click menu, it would act as expected.So, in those cases, I would either try to remember to choose my command first, or input 'P' (for previous) if the selection set had been cleared.Now,...

Autodesk University 2007 was a special year for me because of the chance it gave me to connect with my 'bosses'. Okay, they don't boss me, but, I do work for and with them. I'd like to take the chance to recognize those who have helped me grow as a writer and allowed me an outlet for some of my articles.This first shot is from the AUGI Writer's Breakfast. This was a nice reception where we got a rundown on the circulation and milestones of AUGIWorld...

Just a little stuff to think on, I enjoyed this read.Just for a little added content, here are some charts showing trends in new construction costs... this is from one of my favorite Facility Management resource sites, FMLink, so scroll up for some trends in the cost of operating facilities (residential and non-residentia...

EDIT: This offer is now Expired! It ended on January 7th, 2008.Recently saw this post from Shaan Hurley and wanted to share... http://www.labnol.org/software/download/download-camtasia-studio-free/1829/http://www.labnol.org/software/download/free-download-snagit-with-serial-number/1841/ These are fairly old versions but great tools for free and the newer releases are even better. TechSmith used Camtasia and recorded a Screencast from New Zealander "kiwi" CAD Blogger Robin Capper who is attending Autodesk University this week as well. Evidently...

Alright, Scott.I shall rise up to meet your challenge.I really enjoyed the trip back to 1982 that Scott Sheppard posted here, Alive in the Labs.Nice hair, by the way, Scott. ;) I am impressed by the solar panel though, I'll admit.Shaan Hurley, Vegas's favorite beta geek, already ponied up and joined in the reminiscing.So, he's answered the question 'What would Shaan look like with hair?'. There ya go.So, the point of this post...What was the Mistress...
