I arrived back from Tibet to find some very welcome news from Shaan Hurley. Autodesk now provides students, teachers and schools WORLDWIDE with free* access to Autodesk software: 3-year licenses of 80 titles of the exact same software that our commercial customers use. Free Software for ALL Schools, Teachers, and
Autodesk have unveiled a new look Autodesk.com and announced their 2014 product updates. The new look Autodesk, hinted at earlier this month, comes with updates to existing products, new applications, revised industry specific Design Suites and Autodesk 360 Cloud Services.

I was removing an existing Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium 2012 install prior to test deploying the 2013 version. Most of the components (AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor Fusion, Showcase etc.) uninstalled fine but I struck a problem with 3DS Max Design 2012. It failed as was unable to access a set
A CAD geek walks into a bar… is not the start of a joke but just one of those small world coincidences that happens when you live in a small country. A couple of years back I went along to Auckland Skeptics in the Pub expecting to meet some interesting
It takes something special to lure you into an underground bunker filled with sharks. After a photo at the door (easier to ID the remains?) it was quite a trek, stopping to observe the Penguin Colony, to the Antarctic Hut and an auditorium lined tanks of huge stingray & fish.

I must be getting old… Remember when AutoCAD came on a few floppy disks? Then a handful of CDs, or a DVD? I just finished building CAD application deployments that would require about 26,624 floppy disks. Admittedly it was AutoCAD Architecture/MEP, Revit Arch/MEP and 3DS Max (plus
I was creating a deployment and it failed with a folder access problem, then Windows Installer error. The folder was there (accessed with Explorer) and I had full control access so rights shouldn’t have been a problem. A web search revealed the “Internal Error 2350” could indicate a problem
