Networking and More

Have a terrific weekend. Enjoy time with the ones you love.   Close project coordination. (We met together and had coffee.) Years of development. (It finally worked.) Energy saving. (Turn off the power to save electricity.)We'll have to abandon the entire concept. (The only person who understood the thing just quit.) We had a major technological breakthrough. (It's boring, but it looks high tech.)

Have a terrific weekend and be blessed:   Scientists at NASA have developed a gun built specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields. British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and when the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurtled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, crashed through the control console, snapped the engineer's backrest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin. Horrified Britons sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield, and begged the U.S. scientists for suggestions. NASA's response was just one sentence, "THAW THE CHICKE

Have a terrific weekend   Customer satisfaction is believed to be assured. (We're so far behind schedule that the customer will settle for anything.) Please see me / Let's discuss it. (I need your help. I've screwed up again.) The project is in process. (It's so tied up in red tape that it's completely hopeless.) We're trying a number of different approaches. (We still guessing, at this point.) We're following the standard. (We've always done it this way.)

We're celebrating PTC Earth Week here at PTC.  The next 5 days we are having the grand office swap and give away.  There will be a pile of stuff for FREE sitting in a section of our cafeteria for anyone to take, but what is even cooler is the "One Volunteer.  One Tree. One PTC Campaign."  PTC will donate one tree for every employee who volunteers their time during PTC Earth Week.  In other words, one volunteer equals part of our "One Tree World" by literally growing our own forest.   !   What are you doing or what is your office doing to celebrate the Earth this month?   Please post pictures!   Best,   Jaime Lee

Have a blessed Easter and enjoy time with your family.   Thanks, Dale

Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy time with the ones you love.   A Programmer and an Engineer A programmer and an Engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.   The Programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and a lotta fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I pay you $5."   Again the Engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep.   The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says "Ok, if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $50!"   This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the gam

Hello! I would like to mark and change several / different texts at the same time. Marking of course works without problems, but then the content of all texts should be edited on a content! For example, for positioning, "1,2,3,4,5, ...." set all to "00" and do not change each text individually! Is that possible, with a keyboard shortcut or a macro? Many thanks for the help   Hallo! Ich würde gerne mehrere/unterschiedliche Texte gleichzeitig markieren und ändern. Das markieren klappt natürlich ohne Probleme, aber dann soll der Inhalt aller Texte auf einen Inhalt editiert werden! Beispielsweise bei Positionierungen, "1,2,3,4,5,...." alle auf "00" setzten und nicht jeden Text einzeln ändern! Ist das irgendwie möglich, mit einem Tastenkürzel oder einem Makro?  Vielen Dank für die Hilfe

Today at PTC we celebrated International Women's Day (YES, I know a week later---last Thursday was snowed out). We enjoyed learning about the great accomplishments in tech by women!  I would love to hear about how a female mentor has been influential in your career or life in general. Here is your chance to make someone SHINE or give THANKS!  I owe all to my mom!  Many sacrifices made along the way and now still sacrificing for the well-being of her grandchildren! 🙂
