Back from AU

Hey bloggers!

I made it back safe and sound from my trip to AU 08.
It was almost a 3hr delay on the flight back...which put me landing around 10pm...but other than that no major issues.

I had an awesome time. Attended classes for both Acad MEP and Revit MEP. Can't wait until they get the AU 08 link working for all the class downloads. That's supposed to happen sometime today. As soon as I see it, I will post a link here for you all.

Have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the U.S. people!!!

Here's hoping to have a safe, extremely educational, and awesome trip to AU next week!!!

.BLK Files for Table Templates

Greetings bloggers,

Welcome to Novemember!!

Last week I was working on creating a standard table template for my department to use.

It would be used in combination with the "eattext" attribute extraction command. The template removed some of the attributes, re-arranged the columns they showed up in, and assigned a specific look to the table. This creates a .blk file.

What I found out, after a few hours of testing and odd outcomes, is....the .blk file has to be stored in a location that the user has permissions to change files in. AKA I can not store it on our "protected/locked-down" standards location that the general user only has "read" access to.

I thought I would pass this along incase others were curious about setting up a table template.
