Windows 7 Fault Tolerant Heap Prevents Crashing
The Bottom Line Microsoft has been busy, and they’ve made some smart decisions programatically for Windows 7. The Fault Tolerant heap will help keep applications from crashing once Windows 7 recognizes a pattern, and applies a resolution. Procedures that may have crashed in the past, are less likely to crash in the future. For the normal user, should this be disabled? Absolutely not. The Details There’s a new feature in Windows 7 called... [Read More...]

No Place Like Home?
It’s good to be back at the office… I’m not going to miss the waves crashing on the soft powder sand on some little known beach on a half deserted tropical island as I sip on my rum basking in the sun. Nearly 30 years of work and I had never taken a 2 week vacation; what the hell was I thinking.

Export to AutoCAD
How can I share a Civil 3D drawing with someone using AutoCAD LT? It’s a relatively common question as much of our design work must be shared with consultants that either can’t afford Civil 3D, or it’s simply serious overkill. In this case, from the Civil 3D File menu, select Export to AutoCAD, and select the AutoCAD 2000 format. Don’t save the drawing back – Export it.

Backslash
\ Seems simple enough. Add a backslash to a macro to pause for user selection. It’s use would be something similar to the following: *^C^C_-ATTEDIT;_y;;;;\;a;0;; Add the macro to a toolbar and reset the rotation of attributes to zero all day long. One problem – the backslash isn’t properly recognized as a pause in AutoCAD based 2009 products. Once a user selection is made, the command proceeds ignoring the rest of the macro.... [Read More...]
