The AUGI Special Election voting page is now live, and will be open until 12 July 2009. I encourage all AUGI members to carefully consider the candidates and participate in the electoral process. I do not like some of the restrictions that have been placed on this election, but it is the first [...] The annual AUGI Salary Survey (ably run by friend and fellow geek/blogger Melanie Perry) is open for your responses until 30 June, so if you’re planning to fill it in, please get in soon. There are 19 simple questions on one page, and it only takes a couple of minutes. If you have questions about [...]  26 June 2009, 4:13 pm |  One comment | Tags: AUGI, AUGI Salary Survey, Melanie Perry | Category: AUGI, Other Blogs, Other Sites More AUGI news, but good news this time. The first edition of the on-line magazine AUGI | AEC EDGE has been published by Extension Media. It is available in high- and low-res PDF format, plus an on-line reader. The first issue has 82 pages of almost entirely Revit articles and is very light on [...] 24 June 2009, 8:25 pm | One comment | Tags: AEC EDGE, AUGI | Category: Advertising, AUGI, Other Sites, Writing Most of you reading this blog are fortunate enough to live in democracies, and can only look on with sympathy at those who are denied the right to choose who represents them. What must it be like to live under regimes where the people are denied basic rights such as a free choice over [...] 23 June 2009, 2:28 pm |  6 comments | Tags: AUGI, AUGI Election, AUGI Forums, Democracy, Freedom of speech, Rant | Category: AUGI, Fail, Rant, Thoughts Thanks to Brian and Rick for pointing out the availability of a hotfix for Raster Design 2010′s standalone/network license incompatibility. As a bonus, it also fixes some Raster Design / Civil 3D stability issues. The hotfix is available here, and as always with patches, fixes, service packs and updates, read the readme first. Note [...] 23 June 2009, 12:09 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2010, Autodesk, Civil 3D, Licensing, Raster Design | Category: AutoCAD 2010, Bug, Customer Service, Interoperability, Other Autodesk Products, Raster Design Phil Read has, according to him, been re-admitted as an Autodesk University 2009 speaker. Yay! Is this a victory for people power? A victory for the blogosphere? I rather think it’s just a victory for common sense. 19 June 2009, 6:32 pm | One comment | Tags: Autodesk University, Phil Read, Revit | Category: AU2009, Autodesk, Autodesk University, Other Autodesk Products, Other Blogs Easily the most popular post on this blog, in terms of both hits and comments, is AutoCAD 2009 – Putting things back to “normal”. Lots of people seemed to find it useful, so I guess it’s worth doing an updated sequel for the current release. Much of this post is the same as the [...] 16 June 2009, 12:44 pm | 102 comments | Tags: AutoCAD 2010, Tip, User Interface | Category: AutoCAD, AutoCAD 2010, Other Autodesk Products, Tip In a recent blog post, Deelip Menezes appears to be shocked by the very idea that a particular CAD company (no, not Autodesk) would ship software that contains known bugs. I thought he was joking, because he’s surely aware that practically all software companies with highly complex products release software with known bugs. As [...] 15 June 2009, 1:49 pm | 9 comments | Tags: 12-Month Release Cycle, AutoCAD, Autodesk, Bug, Deelip Menezes, Feedback, Listening, Other Blogs, Polls | Category: AutoCAD, Autodesk, Bug, Cadalyst, Other Blogs, Polls, Rant, Thoughts I often see calls for Autodesk to support AutoCAD on Linux. Just like AutoCAD for the Mac, while I can sympathise with the users of that OS, I think a native port of AutoCAD for Linux would be a bad idea. Again, I think it would be bad for everybody: Autodesk, AutoCAD for Windows [...] 10 June 2009, 2:08 pm | 25 comments | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoCAD for Linux, AutoCAD for Mac, Linu | Category: Apple, AutoCAD, Autodesk, Fail, Linux, Nostalgia, Thoughts For the next few hours, you can get a free registered version of the screen capture software Snagit from TechSmith. It’s a couple of versions old and not supported on Vista, but nevertheless is well worthwhile. No, the Print Scrn key isn’t the same thing at all; Snagit is much, much more useful than [...] 5 June 2009, 2:32 pm | One comment | Tags: Free Stuff, Freebies, Other Products, Snagit, TechSmith | Category: AU2006, Autodesk University, Other Products, Tip A comment from Kal on Between the Lines mentions an AutoCAD Release 10.5 for Mac. My memory of ancient and useless AutoCAD trivia is usually pretty good, but this time things are a bit foggy and I need some help. I definitely remember there being some kind of half-release of AutoCAD for Mac*, but [...] 3 June 2009, 1:00 pm | 3 comments | Tags: AutoCAD, AutoCAD for Mac, CAD History, Cadalyst | Category: Apple, AutoCAD, Cadalyst, Nostalgia |
