Happy Pi Day!!!

03-14-09... 3.14

Now the only thing to do is figure out if we should celebrate extreme pi day being truncated or rounded... 03-14-15, or 03-14-16...hmm...I guess we'll figure that out when we get there!

Sorry, I've been quiet on posting recently.
I hope to get some new info posted this week.

In the mean time enjoy your "pi"! :)

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Bloggers!

Just to take a small time out from my typical blog posts...

I have added 2 new "buttons"/"links" on the side of my tool bar under "Fun Links".
They are for the Animal Rescue Site and the Breast Cancer Site.

Click on these to link to their websites.
Once there, please click on their "Click here to give, it's FREE" button(s) and they will donate free bowls of food for the animals and free mammograms (respectively).
If you can, please do this every day.

I do not get any kickbacks or anything for this, I just find these good causes to support.

Thank you!

DWG True View 07 vs/ 09

Happy Holidays Bloggers!!

Yesterday and today I have been tackling how to get our ABS 07 dwgs to view correctly in the DWG TrueView program.

Here is my conclusion....use the 2007 version of DWG TrueView and install the ADT 2007 object enabler and the ABS LIGHT 2007 object enabler and you will be fine. You have to do it in that order though. The regular ABS 2007 OE will not work. Make sure you reboot between installing object enablers.

For viewing any higher versions of AMEP dwgs go ahead and install and use the DWG TrueView 2009 version. You will need to install the A-Arch 2009 object enabler and the A-MEP LIGHT 2009 object enabler as well. Make sure you reboot between installing object enablers.

If you don't use the LIGHT versions of the ABS and A-MEP object enablers it will not work. For some reason the full ABS/A-MEP object enablers do not get the job done. Talk about some trial and error to do this!

Here are some links to help you in your endeavors:

Since Autodesk does not have the 2007 version of DWG TrueView you can go here and download it for free:
