Good day, Building Electricalizens!
This week we have a goodie to offer you, some tips about keeping your workstation running at peak performance, and a request for your input.
The New Units Reconciliation Dialog
OK, quick survey: everyone who likes having to jump between the units mismatch warning dialog and the Project Library raise your hand! What, nobody??? Well, today you can get an optional upgrade to get the new Units Reconciliation dialog & be done with ‘the old way’. See this blog (http://www.draftlogic.com/blog/2012/09/new-units-reconciliation-dialog/ ) and this forums entry (http://www.draftlogic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=129 ) for information. Contact me if you want the files to do the upgrade—estimated time to perform is two minutes with no database complexities involved.
AutoCAD Eats Memory
Any long-time CAD user knows about AutoCAD’s tendency to munch memory and not give it back…due to the tens of thousands of automatic operations typically executed in a DraftLogic Electrical session, DraftLogic Electrical both exacerbates the memory eating and suffers from it. This forums entry lets you know what to keep an eye on and how to avoid being the victim of plummeting performance due to memory munching.

Need Your Symbolic Input
OK, let’s straighten that out…we don’t need your ‘symbolic’ input, we need your input on symbols aka blocks! One of our upcoming releases is going to focus on adding blocks to the DraftLogic Electrical CAD Standard. Let us know what you would like to see included. We would love to see what you want, so please also send DWG samples of blocks you would like added to DraftLogic Electrical. Marty & Julie…I know you would like to see a exit light with floods symbol to complement the entries we added to the luminaire library for them in the last release, let us know how you want it to look
