If this is the case (we should find out in April), then AutoCAD-based products might require stronger, faster, bigger computers to run as well. I noticed a huge drop in performance on my laptop between AutoCAD 2011 and 2012. My desktop systems run AutoCAD 2012 and AutoCAD Map 3D 2012 fairly well even if they are 2 and 4 years old respectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are Autodesk, Microsoft and other companies' product offerings getting too big and too demanding for the ROI (Return On Investment)? I am not in a production environment but if new hardware is needed to run these various packages, then budgeting for these needs will be very important during the migration period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the fall 2012 arrival of Windows 8, I suspect many companies will wait until the year 2013 and migrate to Windows 8 and Autodesk 2014 products and skip the 2013 products altogether.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-8521417646213629850?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/8521417646213629850/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=8521417646213629850&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/8521417646213629850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/8521417646213629850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2012/02/system-requirements-for-2013-products.html' title='System requirements for 2013 products'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-2794814404952818926</id><published>2012-01-09T11:44:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-09T11:49:08.739-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Visual Studio'/><title type='text'>Line numbers in Visual Studio project</title><content type='html'>Hello again,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it's a new year and it's back to work time.

In Visual Studio, to activate the status bar, go to Tools -&amp;gt; Options -&amp;gt; Environment -&amp;gt; General and check the Show Status Bar option (as shown):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7sih1SrKHhM/TwsaHBozM9I/AAAAAAAAAE8/sv6nwkjH2JM/s1600/VS2008-ShowStatusBar.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 237px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7sih1SrKHhM/TwsaHBozM9I/AAAAAAAAAE8/sv6nwkjH2JM/s400/VS2008-ShowStatusBar.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695674861741093842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the line and column position of the cursor is shown.

It is the workable version of SAM-Report Lite that you can install to analyze your network license usage. Installing is quite the chore but not impossible if you have an experienced IT department. Uninstalling it is not so easy of you have a 64-bit server.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a 64-bit server (ex. Windows Server 2008), there is no official uninstall tool so it has to be done manually if you intend on keeping the server. Here's what I did to remove it from our lab server (the production version is staying for obvious reasons...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1- Stop all related services from the management console.&lt;br /&gt;2- Backup all related folders.&lt;br /&gt;3- Open a command prompt with administrative privileges (Windows Server 2008 only).&lt;br /&gt;4- Navigate to the folder that contains the FLEXNET.BAT file for the Admin, Reporting or Agent module.&lt;br /&gt;5- Type the following command: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;flexnet service uninstall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6- Repeat step 5 for each module.&lt;br /&gt;7- Use an uninstaller such as RevoUninstaller to uninstall each program module (a WIN64 error will appear for Admin and Reporting. Just skip it).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you go. Worked for me. A little bit of a pain but not impossible. Good luck!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-1648467313061275531?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/1648467313061275531/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=1648467313061275531&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/1648467313061275531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/1648467313061275531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2011/11/uninstalling-flexnet-manager.html' title='Uninstalling FLEXnet Manager'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-586858661543476746</id><published>2011-11-02T10:30:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2011-11-02T10:51:09.636-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scripting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AutoCAD'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LISP'/><title type='text'>LISP programming primer</title><content type='html'>I received a request from a client asking me to look at a LISP program he wrote that did not work correctly. I said yes and received the following code:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(COMMAND "osnap" "End,Mid,Cen,Node,Quad,Int,Ins,Perp")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LISP and all programming languages require a certain syntax when writing code for it to work. The above code did not conform to the needed syntax. Here is the corrected version:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(defun C:MYOS (/)        &lt;br /&gt;       (setvar "OSMODE" 255)  &lt;br /&gt;    ; CODE FOR END, MID, CEN, NOD, QUAD,&lt;br /&gt;    ; INT, INS, PERP OSNAPS&lt;br /&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first rule of LISP, everything HAS to be in parentheses. The second rule is that each set of parentheses gets evaluated individually. The third rule is that all LISP functions must be defined with a DEFUN command.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The C:MYOS defines a function that can be launched from the command line by typing MYOS and then ENTER. The (/) indicates that no arguments or local variables are being used. The SETVAR command is used to modify AutoCAD variables like OSMODE which is responsible for the active OSNAPS in your AutoCAD session. Each combination of OSNAPS will have a unique code. The AutoCAD documentation explains this variable very clearly.

alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scripting is handy for some operations but can be tricky at times. The underscore + dash before the OSNAP command are used to internationalize the script (any non-english AutoCAD will recognize it) and to deactivate the dialog box so that the answers are sent as plain text.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In both scenarios, write your code in Notepad and then drag and drop the file into your AutoCAD session to load it.

A green bin is picked up every week with all your garden trimmings, pizza boxes, kitchen scraps (no meat) and composted. A great way to reduce green waste from landfills. My bin cover was damaged by the collection machine and a small hole was added. Since then, animals have been chewing away at the hole making it bigger so that they can feed on the contents. Last year, I found 2 dead squirrels in the bin (1 died from heat exhaustion during a heatwave and the other drowned when the bin filled up during a heavy rain storm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I contacted the city twice to replace the bin. My first attempt was for naught.

Well, I finally did something about it. I used our family's 3HP rototiller to tear up half the lawn, added sand and compost and seeded the ground with clover yesterday afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Why add sand and compost?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp; Since the soil is very compact and has lots of clay in it, adding sand and compost will loosen the soil to help promote better root growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why plant clover?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Clover is a green fertilizer meaning that it will lock nitrogen into the soil, which is essential for root development. In August, I will till the whole yard under and possibly plant some grass at that point or a second batch of clover and seed a new lawn next year. Clover is also very good to get rid of grubs (which eat grass roots for lunch).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will post a few pictures of the lawn as it develops. The germination time for the clover is 3-10 days depending on the amount of water the seeds get.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-3712567759456553140?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/3712567759456553140/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=3712567759456553140&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/3712567759456553140'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/3712567759456553140'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2011/05/project-1-fixing-my-backyard-lawn.html' title='Project 1: Fixing my backyard lawn'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-6997088690084413087</id><published>2011-05-02T10:50:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-02T10:50:23.446-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Projects'/><title type='text'>May is Project Month</title><content type='html'>I am starting a new initiative this month.

The new 11.9 version replaces the 11.7 version that came with the 2011 products. You can upgrade your server with either of these methods:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Method 1&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1- Stop all FLEXlm-based services on your licensing server.&lt;br /&gt;2- Uninstall the current version.&lt;br /&gt;3- Install the new version from the DVD or downloaded media. (You will have to use the appropriate x86 or x64 version for your server).&lt;br /&gt;4- Start your FLEXlm-based&amp;nbsp; services&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Method 2&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1- Install the new version from the DVD or downloaded media on a dummy computer. (You will have  to use the appropriate x86 or x64 version for your dummy machine).&lt;br /&gt;2- Copy the following files to a shared folder on your server:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; a) C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager\adskflex.exe&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; b) C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager\lmgrd.exe&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; c) C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager\lmtools.exe&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; d) C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager\lmutil.exe&lt;br /&gt;3- Go to your licensing server and stop all FLEXlm-based services.&lt;br /&gt;4- Make a copy of your Autodesk Network Licensing Manager folder.&lt;br /&gt;5- Copy the new versions of the 4 files over the existing ones.&lt;br /&gt;6- Start the FLEXlm-based services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I had to update 4 different servers, the second method worked best for me. If you have only 1, then method 1 will go fastest. In all cases, you can do this in the middle of the day since the actual updating takes less than 60 seconds. Your users will never notice the difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonjour à tous,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La procédure ci-haut explique les 2 méthodes à suivre pour mettre à jour vos gestionnaires de licences pour les produits Autodesk. La version actuelle de FLEXlm 11.7 est remplacée par la version 11.9.

For years, I used Gadwin PrintScreen as a screen capture tool. Version 4.3 was great but the 4.4 was buggy and did not work on Vista (for me that is). I then moved on to FastStone Capture with I discussed last year in a post. Thanks to my friend Marc, I have found GreenShot and it is perfect. It is portable or installable, works better than the others combined and it's FREE!!! Check it out &lt;a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenshot/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici un autre logiciel portable que j'adore: GreenShot. Depuis longtemps, j'ai utilisé Gadwin PrintScreen pour faire des captures d'écran. La version 4.3 était fantastique mais la 4.4 un peu moins (bogues et compatibilité). J'ai passé à FastStone Capture l'année dernière (discuté dans mon blogue). Merci à mon ami Marc pour m'avoir dirigé vers Greenshot et ce logiciel est parfait.

It is going very well. Python is a multi-platform language available from &lt;a href="http://www.python.org/"&gt;www.python.org&lt;/a&gt;. The .NET variant, &lt;a href="http://ironpython.net/"&gt;IronPython&lt;/a&gt;, can be used to automate AutoCAD.

I have opted for Notepad++ which is a Notepad replacement for Windows and Gedit for Linux.

I have been getting file system errors at boot and only a CHKDSK seems to repair them. As first, I thought it was some random files but it has moved on to folders as well on both partitions. What will I do to remedy this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;I have decided to replace Windows Vista not with Windows 7 but with Linux! I am SICK &amp;amp; TIRED of: the hard disk clicking away for no reason, the endless patches, long boots or shutdowns and incompatible software and drivers. I have been testing Ubuntu 9.10 x64 and OpenSUSE 11.2 x64 as my candidates for the main OS. Since I have to run AutoCAD, I will create virtual Windows XP and Windows 7 computers and run AutoCAD on them. I don't do production work with AutoCAD since I am more of a developer now. So I will trade performance for robustness. I will also be going from a 32bit to a 64bit OS allowing me to use my full 4GB of RAM.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;So far, I am leaning towards Ubuntu instead of OpenSUSE. In a virtual test, I have been able to do most of my day-to-day stuff without a hitch.

It happened again with another client last week. I suspect that the default settings in Windows Server 2008 are to blame.

Le problème est arrivé encore une fois chez un autre client. Je soupçonne que les paramètres par défaut de Windows Server 2008 sont la cause.

They were having problems where the 3ds max users were not able to obtain a license. This problem is a management issue and not a technical issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Revit that is installed from the Revit Arch Suite cannot obtain a license from the Revit Viz Suite and vice-versa. The product codes are different. The only software package that allows this is AutoCAD. Multiple deployments are necessary to avoid any of these problems if multiple suites are in use. Here are 3 tips for anyone considering a suite: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;If a user will only use 1 product from the suite, purchase a dedicated license.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If a user will use several products included in a suite, get the suite.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Plan your software deployments before making your purchase.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pendant les fêtes, mon collègue était chez un client qui possède le Revit Architecture Suite et le Revit Visualization Suite. Le client avait des problèmes où les utilisateurs de 3ds max ne pouvaient pas obtenir de licences. Ce problème était relié à la gestion des licences et non à un problème technique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le Revit provenant du Revit Arch Suite ne peut pas obtenir une licence du Revit Viz Suite et vice-versa. Les codes de produits sont différents. Le seul produit d'Autodesk qui permet ceci est AutoCAD. Il faut créer plusieurs déploiements de logiciel pour éviter d'avoir des problèmes de licences lorsque plusieurs suites sont en utilisation. Voici 3 conseils pour n'importe qui considérant obtenir une suite de Revit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si vous avez des utilisateurs qui vont travailler avec un seul produit, achetez des licences dédiées pour ces utilisateurs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si vous avez des utilisateurs qui peuvent utiliser plusieurs produits dans une suite, achetez un suite.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Faites une planification de déploiement avant de faire votre achat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-3008258013155192935?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/3008258013155192935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=3008258013155192935&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/3008258013155192935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/3008258013155192935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2010/01/deplyment-issues-with-revit-suites.html' title='Deplyment issues with Revit Suites / Problèmes de déploiement avec les suites de Revit'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-7338650591686928647</id><published>2010-01-13T09:33:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-13T09:33:15.507-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cadalyst'/><title type='text'>Cadalyst Magazine</title><content type='html'>I have been a fan of Cadalyst Magazine for many years and enjoyed the practicality of the digital edition when it was released in 2004.

After asking a few questions about their set up, I felt that the PMP file path was not centralized as were the CTB and PC3 files that are used by all users. I recommended to my client to check the paths and to centralize the PMP files as well. Here is a screenshot of where to change the plot related paths ( TOOLS &amp;gt; OPTIONS &amp;gt; FILES ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai reçu un appel d'un client avec un problème de traçage sur un poste.

It's been a hectic time with vacations and health problems. So, for now let's look towards a good fall 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This month, I am celebrating 20 years of computer programming and 15 years of AutoCAD use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have worked with the following programming languages:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;GW Basic&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;TurboPascal 6.0&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fortran 77&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;AutoLISP&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Visual Basic 6 / VBA / VBScript / VB.NET&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Java&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;C#&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Python&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I don't use the first 3 anymore, but the rest still comes in handy. I want to convert the VBA / VB6 code that I have to .NET since Autodesk and Microsoft are stepping away from those languages in favor or newer stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for AutoCAD, I started with AutoCAD 9 on an amber-colored monochrome screen and have used all versions since except for AutoCAD 11. I never saw it in use so it must of been a quick to be replaced version.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's are 2 questions for all visitors:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Which version of AutoCAD did you start with?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Which programming languages do you use or have used?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je m'excuse pour ne pas avoir écrit plus cet été. Les derniers mois ont été fous ave cles vacances et des problèmes de santé. Regardons en avant vers un bon automne 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce mois-ci, je célèbre mes 20 ans d'expérience en programmation et mes 15 d'utilisation d'AutoCAD. J'ai travaillé avec les languages ci-dessus mais je n'utilise plus les 3 premiers. J'aimerais convertir tout mon code en VB6 / VBQ vers du .NET puisque Autodesk et Microsoft diminues de plus en plus le support pour ces options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour AutoCAD, j'ai commencé avec la version 9 sur un écran ambre monochrome. J'ai utilisé tous les version depuis sauf pour la version 11 que je n'ai jamais eu la chance de voir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici 2 questions pour les visiteurs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quelle est votre première version d'AutoCAD?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quelles languages de programmation avez-vous utilisés?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-3718507334470467607?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/3718507334470467607/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=3718507334470467607&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/3718507334470467607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/3718507334470467607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2009/09/20-years-of-programming-and-15-years-of.html' title='20 Years of Programming and 15 Years of AutoCAD'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-8252263634616806408</id><published>2009-07-21T13:25:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-21T13:35:23.666-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2009'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2006'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2005'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2007'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2008'/><title type='text'>Blog Post #100 - Macro Problems</title><content type='html'>Well, we have reached the big 100! My thanks to all the readers of this blog. For #100, I wish to share a macro problem I have encountered in AutoCAD 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From AutoCAD 2005 to 2008, I would create a palette macro to program a fixed Fillet radius value when selected. Here is it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YXWF4lI8Cyo/SmX6mJZsdqI/AAAAAAAAADA/0wre1ETVt9g/s1600-h/ACAD2008-Fillet+Macro.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YXWF4lI8Cyo/SmX6mJZsdqI/AAAAAAAAADA/0wre1ETVt9g/s400/ACAD2008-Fillet+Macro.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360966464720107170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In AutoCAD 2009, that macro no longer works. I had to changed it for this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YXWF4lI8Cyo/SmX66mnpQsI/AAAAAAAAADI/foxLvzJdr-4/s1600-h/ACAD2009-Fillet+Macro.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 293px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YXWF4lI8Cyo/SmX66mnpQsI/AAAAAAAAADI/foxLvzJdr-4/s400/ACAD2009-Fillet+Macro.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360966816160629442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;To program the FILLETRAD value with the macro, I had to use the FILLETRAD variable before launching the FILLET command. Very strange indeed. Has anyone else had a problem such as this with macros? Let me know!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous sommes rendu au 100e article du blog. Merci à tous les lecteurs! Pour le 100e, j'aimerais partager un problème que j'ai découvert avec les macros dans AutoCAD 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'image 1 représente une macro que j'utilisais dans les versions 2005 à 2008 d'AutoCAD pour faire un raccord avec un rayon prédéterminé. Cette macro de fonctionne pas dans AutoCAD 2009. Il a fallu que je le change pour celle dans l'image 2. Il fallait programmer le rayon de raccord avec la variable FILLETRAD au préalable de la commande FILLET.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Est-ce que quelqu'un a eu ce problème aussi?

Deux de nos clients qui n'ont jamais utilisés le site de souscription ont reçu des copies DVD du AutoCAD Revit Architecture 2010 Suite.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-8198567901017778451?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/8198567901017778451/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=8198567901017778451&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/8198567901017778451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/8198567901017778451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2009/06/autodesk-subscription-fulfillments.html' title='Autodesk Subscription Fulfillments / Envois de souscription d&apos;Autodesk'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-5952247843231380141</id><published>2009-06-23T12:59:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-23T13:18:33.141-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010'/><title type='text'>AutoCAD 2010 Installation - Part 2</title><content type='html'>I did a network installation of AutoCAD 2010 and 3ds max Design 2010 last week and noted a few important points that I wanted to mention in Part 2:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you wish to use network licenses, make sure your server has enough storage space for all product deployments. Each deployment can go from 1GB to 5GB of space.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make sure your server has a 1Gb network connection and if possible your entire network as well. A lot of data will be transferred so speed is important for installing multiple stations simultaneously.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do NOT use a mission-critical server for network licenses. A low-priority one like a file server or print server is best.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A DVD-ROM on the server is always a nice touch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La semaine dernière, j'ai fait une installation réseau d'AutoCAD 2010 et 3ds max Design 2010 et j'ai noté quelques points importants que je voulais mentionner dans la 2e partie:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Si vous voulez utiliser des licences réseaux, soyez certain que votre serveur possède assez de place pour héberger les déploiements. Chaque déploiement peut aller de 1Go à 5 Go.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Assurez-vous que la connexion réseau du serveur est à 1Gb et si possible, votre réseau aussi. Beaucoup de data sera transféré pendant les installations surtout si plusieurs postes sont installés en même temps.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;N'utilisez PAS un serveur critique pour vos licences réseau. Un serveur de basse priorité comme un serveur de fichiers ou un serveur d'impression est préférable.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Un lecteur DVD sur le serveur est toujours apprécié!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-5952247843231380141?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/5952247843231380141/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=5952247843231380141&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/5952247843231380141'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/5952247843231380141'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2009/06/autocad-2010-installation-part-2.html' title='AutoCAD 2010 Installation - Part 2'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-4481363755632599351</id><published>2009-05-26T10:16:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-26T10:27:38.906-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='AutoCAD'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Revit'/><title type='text'>AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite 2010 Installation</title><content type='html'>I went to see a client yesterday and installed a network version of the AutoCAD Revit Architecture 2010 Suite. The process was very similar to the 2009 version. For AutoCAD 2010, the process was virtually identical and took the same time (approx.). Revit Arch 2010 has a similar process but took much longer to complete. I was also shocked that both deployments now take up 6.5GB of space for the 64-bit versions. A BIG size increase!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je suis allé chez un client hier pour installer la version réseau d'AutoCAD Revit Architecture 2010 Suite. Le processus est presque identique à celui pour 2009. Pour autoCAD 2010, c'était presque pareil et le temps aussi. Revit Arch 2010 est aussi semblable à 2009 mais prend beaucoup plus de temps.

It took about 5 minutes to decompress the files and then the installation started. As was the case with AutoCAD 2009, please install the .NET Framework beforehand (version 3.5 SP1), because the AutoCAD installer takes an eternity to install this component. You will save time in the long run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next time, new install options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai installé AutoCAD 2010 hier soir et j'ai aimé l'expérience.

Le temps d'extraction était de 5 minutes et ensuie, l'installation s'est démarrée.

I set up the network deployment and converted their custom menu file to a custom CUI file. I also told the owner that the R14 Bonus Tools that they were still using were outdated and that the Express Tools should be used. Well, an employee did not get the memo and installed the Bonus Tools thus messing up with AutoCAD 2009. I told them to uninstall the Bonus Tools and it seems to have worked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #2 of Migration: ALWAYS check to see if an integrated tool does the same or a better job that a custom command before migrating to a new release.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hiere, j'ai recu un appel d'un client qui vient de passer d''AutoCAD 2005 à 2009. J'ai configuré la version réseau et j'ai converti leur ancien menu personnalisé pour un CUI personnalisé. J'ai aussi mentionné au propriétaire u'il ne fallait pas installer les Bonus Tools d'AutoCAD 14 parce que les Express Tools de 2009 en offrait plus. Un employé n'a pas recu le memo et a installé les Bonus Tools qui ont causé plusieurs problèmes avec 2009.

They have a bunch of old LSP files that are used to simplify their workflow. Unfortunately, the LSP files which date back to 1991 through 1997 are changing variables that AutoCAD 2009 does not like. For example, the LINE and MATCH PROPERTIES commands no longer worked. The variable DEMANDLOAD was set to 0 instead of 3. Another example, the UNDO command stopped working. This was fixed by typing UNDO and choosing the ALL option to reactivate it. Somehow, the OFF option had been set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule #1 of migration: Don't assume that all existing macros will still work. Test everything beforehand!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai migré un client d'AutoCAD 2005 à AutoCAD 2009 la semaine dernière. Ils utilisent des vieux LSP pour aider leurs processus d'affaires. Malheureusement, les fichiers LSP datent de 1991 à 1997 et changent des variables qu'AutoCAD 2009 n'aime pas. Par exemple, les commandes LINE et MATCH PROPERTIES ne fonctionnaient plus. La variable DEMANDLOAD était à 0 au lieu de 3. Aussi, la commande UNDO de fonctionnait plus. Il a fallu changer l'option du UNDO de OFF à ALL. Je ne sais pas comment le OFF s'est activé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Règle #1 de la migration: N'assumez pas que tout vos macros vont fonctionner.

The problem has a simple answer. In her AutoCAD 2009 sessions, she could not access any system printer. If this is the case, the answer typically is that the Hide System Printers option has been turned on. Uncheck the option from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Tools &gt; Options &gt; Plot and Publish &gt; Hide system printers&lt;/span&gt; to correct it. Here is a screenshot from AutoCAD 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YXWF4lI8Cyo/SXnBSaVxS1I/AAAAAAAAACw/jSV1EfoJ9X0/s1600-h/System+Printers.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YXWF4lI8Cyo/SXnBSaVxS1I/AAAAAAAAACw/jSV1EfoJ9X0/s400/System+Printers.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294475359003167570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai recu un appel d'une cliente hier avec un serieux problème. Le problème a une solution simple. Dans son AutoCAD 2009, elle ne pouvait pas voir les imprimantes de système. Typiquement, la raison est que l'option de caché les imprimantes de système est active. Décocher l'option en passant par &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Outils &gt; Options &gt; Tracer et publier &gt; Masquer les imprimantes système&lt;/span&gt;.

They had a great selection of programming and Autodesk books for sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'étais très surpris hier matin de voir que ma librairie techno préféré, &lt;a href="http://www.camelot%20.ca"&gt;Camelot&lt;/a&gt;, a fermé ses portes samedi dernier.

I wondered how much of it was actually designed with AutoCAD. I know that Pro/E is common in the medical equipment field, but what about Autodesk solutions? The hospital itself, the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, was built in the 50s so perhaps on some renovations were done with AutoCAD. The new hospitals in Montreal are going to use Revit for all design work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My thanks to Dr. Black, Dr. Villeneuve and the nursing staff for the top notch care I received during my stay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsillectomy"&gt;Tonsillectomy @ Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La semaine dernière, j'ai eu une amygdalectomie et après mon réveil, j'ai commencé à examiner l'équipement autour de moi. Je me suis questionné sur la quantité qui a été concu avec AutoCAD. Je sais que Pro/E est très commun dans le domaine de l'équipement médicale, mais est-ce que les solutions d'Autodesk sont présentes aussi? L'hôpital Royal Victoria à Montréal a été construite dans les années 50 donc il y a possiblement eu des rénos faites avec AutoCAD. Les nouveaux hôpitaux de Montréal utiliseront Revit pour le coté conception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'aimerais remercier les Dres.

When the File&gt;Open command is issued, the command line requests the name of the file to be opened. This typically happens when the variables CMDDIA and FILEDIA are not set to 1. If this happens to you, type the variables show above on the command line and verify what the current value is. If the value is not 1, change it to 1 and try your command again. This problem is typically caused by a macro (LISP or other) that does not reset the values correctly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my last post for 2008. Happy New Year to all and good luck and good health in 2009!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un problème commun que j'ai aidé des clients avec au cours des années est la disparition des boites de dialogue dans AutoCAD. Lorsque la commande Fichier&gt;Ouvrir est activé, la ligne de commande demande pour le nom du fichier à ouvrir. Ceci est causé lorsque les variables CMDDIA et FILEDIA ne sont pas égales à 1. Si ceci vous arrive, tapez le nom de chaque variable sur la ligne de commande et vérifiez la valeur courante. Si la valeur n'est pas égale à 1, changez-la et essayez votre commande encore. Ce problème est typiquement causé par une macro (LISP ou autre) qui ne remet pas les valeurs correctement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ceci est ma dernière entrée pour 2008.

C'est une histoire! Vous pouvez lire le blog original ainsi que le suivi avec les liens ci-haut. Si vous lisez les commentaires, le language utilisé est parfois MÉCHANT!!!

Ben said that he is missing small pieces of data that are in the DWG that aren't in the PDF. Max asked how he can speed up the process of creating a 20 page PDF from different drawings. Steve asked about different PDF drivers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a nutshell, I recommend that to speed up the process and to possibly correct the missing data problem, use the PUBLISH tool in any Autodesk product to create a DWF archive. Open the DWF in Design Review and then print with a PDF driver. Adobe Acrobat is the most common but perhaps not the best and by far not the cheapest. I have been a fan of CutePDF for years. There is also PDF995, AcroPlot, BlueBeam, Primo and many others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have had problems with a PDF, I would like to hear about your setup and compare which one works best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Récemment, 3 clients mon posé des questions sur la création de PDF à partir de dessins DWG. Benoit m'a dit qu'il y a des PDF qui manquent des informations qui sont dans le DWG. Maxime voulait savoir comment créer des PDF de 20 pages plus rapidement. Steve voulait savoir plus sur les différents pilotes PDF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En gros, je recommande d'utiliser la commande PUBLIER dans les produits d'Autodesk. Commencez par créer une archive DWF et ensuite avec Design Review, imprimez l'archive en PDF avec un pilote PDF. Adove Acrobat est probablement le pilote le plus commun mais pas nécessairement le meilleur et de loin le moins cher. J'ai toujours apprécié CutePDF mais il y a aussi PDF995, AcroPlot, BlueBeam, Primo et autres.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si vous avez eus des problèmes avec des PDF, j'aimerais en savoir plus sur votre setup et ensuite, je vais comparer les résultats pour tous.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-1791302256810680502?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/1791302256810680502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=1791302256810680502&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/1791302256810680502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/1791302256810680502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2008/12/pdf-in-autocad-pdf-dans-autocad.html' title='PDF in AutoCAD / PDF dans AutoCAD'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-6681478341114487076</id><published>2008-11-27T08:47:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T08:53:53.826-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Travel'/><title type='text'>Riding the Rails</title><content type='html'>Hello!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was in Quebec City this week for a conference and had to come home on short notice. I booked a train ride back to Montreal on VIA Rail. I was very surprised by the service and comfort. Compared to an airplane, there is much more room, it's cheaper, nice landscape to watch and quicker boarding times. Next time, I will maybe try a round trip. I am jealous of the luxury that Europeans enjoy with their massive train network.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'étais à Québec cette semaine pour une conférence et j'ai du revenir à la maison plus tot. J'ai réservé un siège sur un train de VIA Rail. J'étais très surpris par le service et le comfort. En comparaison à un avion, il y a beaucoup plus de place, c'est moins cher, le paysage est fantastique et l'embarquement/débarquement est très rapide. La prochaine fois, je vais possiblement faire un voyage aller/retour.

What a time!!! Anyway, the topic of discussion came up concerning how much we chopped. The official definition of a cord of wood is:  a cord is defined as a pile of wood &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;8' long x 4' high by 4' deep&lt;/span&gt; for a total of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;128 cubic feet or 3.624556 cubic meters&lt;/span&gt;. A cord of wood can be divided into 3 piles with a 16" depth which is the standard length of a piece of firewood and also known as a kitchen cord. It was a fun and exhausting experience to chop wood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Récemment, j'ai passé un weekend à buché du bois de feu et à chanté "The LumberJack Song". Quel temps!!! Anyway, la discussion a tourné vers la quantité de bois que nous avons buché. La définition officielle d'une corde de bois est ceci: une corde de bois est défini comme étant une pile &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;8' de long, 4' de haut et 4' de profond&lt;/span&gt; pour un total de &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;128 pieds cubiques ou 3.624556 mètres cubiques&lt;/span&gt;. Une corde peut être divisé en trois parties avec une profondeur de 16" qui est la longueur officielle d'un morceau de bois de feu.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-540145466383374312?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/540145466383374312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=540145466383374312&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/540145466383374312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/540145466383374312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2008/11/firewood-bois-de-chauffage.html' title='Firewood / Bois de chauffage'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-229115839614322662</id><published>2008-11-07T09:49:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T09:57:25.529-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2009'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='LT'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2007'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2008'/><title type='text'>AutoCAD LT + Express Tools</title><content type='html'>I got a call from a client asking if he could get the Express Tools for AutoCAD LT 2009.

SoftImage produces the XSI range of animation/rendering software,  a direct competitor to 3dsmax. Is this a good thing for the industry? Two years ago, Autodesk bought Maya, a then competitor. I personally use &lt;a href="http://www.blender.org"&gt;Blender&lt;/a&gt; for my rendering/animation projects outside of Autodesk-related stuff. This announcement won't affect me but it is sure to annoy a great many people.

I would recommend that Update 1 be installed first since it fixes a lot of small bugs. Follow the link below to download the ZIP archive that is appropriate for your setup. Two files must be replaced: a file common to all 2009 products and another for each product you have installed. Instructions are included in the Readme file. The procedure is identical to the one I described in this &lt;a href="http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2007/03/autocad-2007-corrections.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;. If you have problems, please leave a comment to this blog post and I can help you out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&amp;amp;id=11783277&amp;amp;linkID=9240818"&gt;Open Save Close Hotfix&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si vous avez installé Update 1 ou non pour vos produits 2009 à base d'AutoCAD, vous devez installer le correctif suivant. Je recommande fortement qu'Update 1 soit installé au préalable puisqu'il corrige plusieurs petits bogues. Suivez le lien ci-dessus pour télécharger le fichier ZIP approprié pour votre environnement. Deux fichiers doivent être remplacés: un fichier commun à tous les produits 2009 et un autre pour chaque produit installé. Les instructions sont disponibles dans le fichier Readme. La procédure est identique à celle que j'ai décrit dans mon blog &lt;a href="http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2007/03/autocad-2007-corrections.html"&gt;ici&lt;/a&gt;.

It took between 2 and 3 hours to install on a good modern computer. It did not fix the bugs that I wanted fixed. The system seems more sluggish and each time I boot the machine, the network card is deactivated until I reboot. Overall, pure crap!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SP3 on my 6.5 year old XP machine took between 2 and 3 hours and no ill effects were detected. I would recommend to anyone that if you are going to reinstall XP, go straight to SP3 because it will save you from downloading a HUGE amount of patches that are bundled in SP3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a comparison, I installed and patched Xubuntu 8.04.1 in a virtual machine in 20minutes last week. Can anyone say code bloat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai installé SP1 sur mon poste avec Vista la semaine dernière. L'opération a pris entre 2 et 3 heures sur un bon poste moderne. Plusieurs bogues que j'ai trouvé non pas été corrigés. Le poste est plus lent et après chaque démarrage, je dois redémarrer le poste pour réactiver ma carte réseau. En gros, de la shnout!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SP3 pour XP a pris entre 2 et 3 heures sur mon viuex poste datant de 2002. Il y avait aucun problème avec la procédure ou le résultat. Je reocmmande fortement que tout le monde qui doit réinstaller XP passe immédiatement à SP3 pour éviter de télécharger des correctifs inutiles qui font déja parti de SP3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En comparaison, j'ai install Xubuntu 8.04.1 et ses correctifs sur un poste virtuel en 20 minutes.

Use the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;VARS2SCR&lt;/span&gt; command to export a .SCR file that contains all the variables in the problematic DWG. Do this also for a good DWG. You can load the contents of each file into Excel or OpenOffice Calc and compare which variables might be responsible for the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici un petit truc pour trouver des problèmes entre un dessin AutoCAD qui fonctionne bien et un autre qui possède un problème. Utilisez la commande &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;VARS2SCR&lt;/span&gt; pour exporter un fichier .SCR contenant la liste complète des variables du dessin problématique. Ensuite, faites la même chose pour un bon dessin. Le contenu de chaque fichier .SCR peut être inséré dans Excel ou OpenOffice Calc pour comparer les valeurs et trouver quelles variables sont responsable du problème.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-2412388543051972688?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/2412388543051972688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=2412388543051972688&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/2412388543051972688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/2412388543051972688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2008/08/technical-support-for-drawings-support.html' title='Technical support for drawings / Support technique pour les dessins'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899452.post-3834726663491853427</id><published>2008-07-31T14:06:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-31T14:13:06.367-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mandriva'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Linux'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ubuntu'/><title type='text'>Ubuntu 8.04 vs Mandriva Spring 2008</title><content type='html'>Hello again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my friend's computer and it went smoothly and works great. This morning, to test a sick Windows XP x64, I installed Mandriva Spring 2008. What a nightmare that was! It is not as intuitive a Linux distro as Ubuntu and it did NOT add my Windows install to the boot menu like Ubuntu did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have used Ubuntu right from the start. Always go with what you know...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut encore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai récemment installé Ubuntu 8.04 sur l'ordi de mon ami et c'étais très facile et fonctionne très bien. Ce matin, j'ai installé Mandriva Spring 2008 sur un poste malade avec Windows XP x64. Un vrai chauchemar! C'est une distribution qui n'est pas aussi intuitive qu'Ubuntu et il n'a PAS ajouter mon Windows au menu de démarrage comme Ubuntu a fait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'aurais dû utiliser Ubuntu dès le départ.

The 2009 product licenses include licenses for the 2006, 2007 and 2008 versions as well. If you are already running one of these versions, remove that section in the license file to avoid any conflicts in your licensing. I will post a screen shot soon to better explain this. Here is a link with additional info:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&amp;amp;id=11067735&amp;amp;linkID=9240617"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Package license files for prior version licensing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai parlé avec le support technique d'Autodesk lundi dernier et il a confirmé un doute que j'avais concernant le nouveau format des licences réseau pour les clients avec souscription. Les licences pour les produits 2009 permettent aussi l'utilisation des versions 2006, 2007 et 2008. Si vous avez déjà une de ces versions, il faut enlever cette licence du fichier pour éviter un conflit avec la licence 2009. Je vais afficher une capture d'écran sous peu pour illustrer ceci.

If you have the 10.8 or 11.4 versions installed, you can upgrade them to FLEXlm 11.4.1 in 10 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the 2009 DVD, locate the files &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;LMGRD.EXE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;LMUTIL.EXE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;LMTOOLS.EXE&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;ADSKFLEX.EXE&lt;/span&gt;. Next, stop the FLEXlm service on the server and then copy and overwrite the old versions with the new ones (look in the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager&lt;/span&gt; folder). Start the service back up and you are now ready for the 2009 product suite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salut encore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'ai passé cette semaine à faire une mise à jour à un FLEXlm qui gère des licences réseau de produits Autodesk. Si vous avez les versions 10.8 ou 11.4 installées sur votre serveur, vous pouvez les mettre à jour à 11.4.1 en 10 secondes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir du DVD 2009, localisez les fichiers &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;LMGRD.EXE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;LMUTIL.EXE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;LMTOOLS.EXE&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;ADSKFLEX.EXE&lt;/span&gt;. Ensuite, arrêtez le service de FLEXlm sur le serveur et ensuite copiez les fichiers en écrasant les vieux avec les nouveaux (regardez dans le dossier &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager&lt;/span&gt;). Partez le service et vous êtes maintenant prêt pour la suite 2009.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36899452-7495005377498147389?l=consultskc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/feeds/7495005377498147389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36899452&amp;postID=7495005377498147389&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/7495005377498147389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36899452/posts/default/7495005377498147389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consultskc.blogspot.com/2008/05/upgrading-flexlm-mise-jour-de-flexlm.html' title='Upgrading FLEXlm / Mise à jour de FLEXlm'/><author><name>Sean Campbell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688736839216010230</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
