Networking and More

Years ago there used to be a list on one of the CAD users websites that listed the companies that use Pro/E by using a map of the USA. Does anyone know if there is an up-to-date website that does this? I cannot seem to find one.

Have a great weekend....As entrepreneurs we tend to want to teach our children the lessons that we have learned. Sometimes this is confusing to them. One entrepreneur sat his four year old son down and said,"It's time for your lesson. What's two plus two?"The little boy said, "Two plus two is six.""No, son." his father said, "Two plus two is not six. Two plus two is four.""I'm sorry, father" said the little boy. "I thought we were negotiating."

As a baker and an engineer, I really appreciated this one.

Howdy and have a mighty fine weekend:Bidding - Additional Requirements Section 1A - The TruthThe requirements of Division 01 and of those documents under bidding requirements and conditions of the contract and anything else we don't think looks good here is null and void. If you know what's good for you, you'd read this real close (meaning the contractor).1.1 The work we did is clearly showed in the attached plans and specifications. Our engineer, whose had plenty of college, spent one hell of a lot of time when he drawed up these here plans and specifications, but nobody can think of everything. Once your bid is in - that's it, brother. From then on, anything wanted by our engineer, or any of his friends, or anybody else (except the contractor) shall be considered as showed, specified or implied and shall be provided by the contractor without no expense to nobody, but himself (meaning the contractor). 1.2 If the work is did without no expense to the contractor, then the work will be

I updated a FOSI that has worked for many years with a few new attribute values. It work fine on one PC, but another user is getting [A12199] couldn't open "external-packetid.exp" for write when he selects an attribute. Any ideas?

I'd like to use inate Arbortext capability, if possible (no ACL or XUI), to make a tag and all possible content show as collapsed by default, or even that tag and all possible content "invisible" if possible. The tag can have text, or child tags within it.

We've launched a new survey to ask what you want to learn in the Arbortext TC Dojo. We're going to do a new season this year and want to know what products you want sessions on and what topics for each one. You can suggest topics as well. What do you want to learn?   Take the survey: http://survey.arbortextuser.org‌     Episode Guide and where to find past sessions   How-to Videos About Arbortext - Arbortext TC Dojo Series Title and Episode Guide

Trying to find out how I can signup for the UX Lab so that I can update my schedule.

CAD Monkey   A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, another customer walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll have a CAD monkey please." The shopkeeper nodded, went over to a cage at the side of the shop and took out a monkey. He fitted a collar and leash, handed it to the customer, saying, "That'll be $5000." The customer paid and walked out with his monkey.Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only few hundred dollars. Why did that one cost so much?"The Shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey can draw in CAD - very fast, clear layouts, no mistakes, well worth the money."The tourist looked at a monkey in another cage. "That one's even more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?""Oh, that one's a Design monkey; it can design systems, layout projects, mark-up drawings, write specifications, some even calculate. All the really useful stuff," said the

When will we know what sessions are on what day / time?  We have a couple executive coming that are waiting to book flights based on what day they are heading home (Wed vs Thur).  Obviously every day we wait the prices are increasing.

Good day everyone, I would like to draw your attention to a presenter at LiveWorx: George Howard I heard him speak in the PTC Needham office and must tell you this will be worth your time. I am not sure of his exact topic, but will tell you he is very entertaining and lectures on the topics of music, marketing, and technology. I have linked to his bio on the LiveWorx page, and if you use Twitter, here is a link to his feed: @gah650 See you at LiveWorx. Best, Toby

I hope things are going better for you than this today!The Engineer's Song(Sung to the tune of "The Beverly Hillbillies")Come and listen to the story 'bout a man named Jed,  A poor college kid, barely kept his family fed,  Then one day he was talking to a recruiter,  He said, "they'll pay ya big bucks if ya work on a computer",  Well the first thing ya know, ol' Jed's an Engineer,  The kinfolk said, "Jed, move away from here."  They said, "Arizona is the place ya oughta be,"  So he bought some doughnuts and he moved to Ahwautukee  Motorola that is . . dry heat . . no amusement parks.  On his first day at work they stuck him in a cube,  Fed him more doughnuts and sat him at a tube.  They said, "Your project's late but we know just what to do,  Instead of 40 hours, we'll work you fifty-two!"  OT that is . . unpaid . . .

Have a blessed weekend! Enjoy time with the ones you love.Engineering Rules1. Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable and three parts which are still under development.2. Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.3. A failure will not appear till a unit has passed final inspection.4. If you can't fix it -- document it. 5. The primary function of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the fabricator and impossible for the serviceman. I hope your day goes better than these rules.Dale

Admit it (then again maybe not given the topic)....Arguing with an engineer is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig. After a few hours, you realize that he likes it. Have a terrific weekend.Dale

Good day all,I know this is a day early, but I believe you will all enjoy.Best,Toby
