Doors Open Toronto and into Edmonton
Its the fact that I had no idea about the prison way back in the day that shut down in liberty village and so forth.
It was around 7:30am I just stepped into the elevator corridor and my marketing director and marketing specialist were there with smiles on and we ended rocking the day and had a successful event for our Office. My marketing specialist also helped me realize my talents I had which I threw away many years ago.
Building Information Modeling Please. What software do you use? Do you use AutoCAD?.....AutoCAD?? the future is in BIM and the conference awaits me. The jet engines are warming up as hundreds and hundreds flock to the beach..or Montreal while I am sit here watching Luggage carts drive around.
The future in BIM and the education required by you to listen and more importantly have an open mind. Without an open mind you may as well sell your flat screen or plasma and harmon stereo and SLK because your tube television awaits your purchase at the garage sale down the street.

OVERKILL your Drawings
The command I love to see people use that puts a smile on. This Command will eliminate all lines that sit on top of each other or are drawn by someone that has junior expereince in CADD and creates a diaster of duplication.
Its been around for ever but not many know about it or use it to help reduce drawing file size. I can reduce file sizes by 3-4megs sometimes.
Type in "Overkill" and swing through the trees into success

Platinum Technology is creating an APP for your iphone using a third party supporter 'ArchiCAD'
ArchiCAD has been the MAC supporting architectural software for all you smart individuals your boss may call smart or blunt at times. This software app will be more of a program but a ton more then an app for iphone. The application is built and designed for an architect but used by the intelligent business type. The docking station allows for the transfer of screen information on your GPS Screen while you drive or riding along in your passenger seat. The display screen uses a screen pen to design or you can take snap shots and overlay into vector information which is lines made up of x,y and z coordinates. The picture transfer can then be reworked and changed into adobe graphics using your sketch-up plug. Amazing. Not to say yes this will be expensive but for someone who has money and wants to play with the best.

What is Relative Path
What is relative path and why am I being asked to use this?
Relative paths are specified folder paths that assume the current drive letter or the folder of the host drawing
This is the most flexible option and enables you to move a set of drwings from your current drive drive to a different drive that uses the same folder structure
When can relative path not be used?
If the file this is being referenced is located on a different local hard drive or on a network server, the relative path option is not available.
