Cascading Sequences for Autodesk 2011 Products… and more?
A recent Autodesk Knowledge Base item, I first saw via Jimmy, detailed the order used by cascading licensing for Autodesk 2011 products. The AutoCAD Architecture sections has all the usual suspects along with a few names were new to me: Factory and Building Design Suite? Autodesk - AutoCAD Services & Support
Use Blocks, AutoCAD will reward the investment
Although our store plans use stripped down fitting models (most a few hundred KB) sometimes you need more detail for presentation. Then it’s often faster, easier, to use raw supplier source files (usually supplied as ACIS Solids no matter what they use to make them) and accept the extra
A short thought on history, and CorelDRAW
I stumbled on this while checking out the latest CorelDRAW X5 release. I really liked the chronicle of CorelDRAW’s evolution and think it’s something every platform should record.* I first used CorelDRAW 3, owned 4, 6, 7, 10 and currently 12. Not sure I’ll be going for
Share edit, review AutoCAD files in the cloud - Butterfly
NOTE 2010-10-02: This partial article was lurking unpublished in my drafts folder. I have posted it, backdated to when it was written, for reference now the AutoCAD WS application is live. If nothing else will show how the app & service have evolved Butterfly is a preview of

Driver, not incorporated, and lousy treatment from Tangible Media
Recently the April issue of Autocar (NZ) appeared in my mailbox. I was initially perplexed as I don’t subscribe to it but then noticed a (printed) sticker with the words “incorporating Driver”. I have subscribed to Driver since issue one so that was the connection. A few weeks earlier
My old Tech goes Google
Google’s blog recently announced that Unitec, my old tech (then known as Carrington Technical Institute), deployed Google Apps to its students across four campuses. When I was there in the mid-eighties there was no Google, let alone web applications, and a few thousand students shared one campus. The
Microsoft Interface Manager 7 and no Office 13?
Ok, Windows I understand… But no Office 13 is just daft. Maybe Autodesk didn’t have much luck with AutoCAD 13 and Corel went from CorelDRAW 12 to X3 but is there really a need to preserve stupid superstition in the logical world of IT? I wonder if there will
