In the comparisons of various softwares, it is always interesting when someone is trying to drive a "stick shift" but all they know it how to drive "an automatic". The stick shift may be a sports car, but its a "crappy" sports car because they only know how to drive an automatic.

Review of PTC Creo 3.0 PTC Creo 4.0 and Beyond

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realises he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field.""You must be an engineer" says the balloonist."I am" replies the man. "How did you know.""Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone."The man below says "you must be in management.""I am" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"  "Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."And for those in the United States - Have a blessed Memorial Day Weekend.

Once upon a time there were three men: a doctor, a city planner, and an engineer. For some reason all three offended the king and were sentenced to die on the same day.  The day of the execution arrived, and the doctor was led up to the guillotine. As he strapped the doctor to the guillotine, the executioner asked, "Head up or head down?" "Head up," said the doctor."Blindfold or no blindfold?""No blindfold."So the executioner raised the axe, and z-z-z-z-ing! Down came the blade--and stopped barely an inch above the doctor's neck. Well, the law stated that if an execution didn't succeed the first time the prisoner had to be released, so the doctor was set free. Then the city planner was led up to the guillotine."Head up or head down?" said the executioner."Head up.""Blindfold or no blindfold?""No blindfold."So the executioner raised his axe, and z-z-z-z-ing! Down came the blade--and stopped an inch above the planner's neck. Well, the law stated that if the execution didn't succeed

Hey everyone, we'd like to get an idea of what you would like to see from your future GHPUG meetings.   Who? As many as we can get! There's no problem with starting small, though. What? This is the big question: what kinds of activities, speakers, presentations, etc. do we want to have? When? We are thinking quarterly, and probably during a weekday evening, but we are open to suggestions. Where? Anywhere in the greater Houston area, but try to keep it as central as possible, and probably change locations often. Why? To share our passion for our work and the tools we use, and to discover new and better methods for both. How? We need everyone's help to develop a plan that works for as many as possible.   Please chime in below and let us know what you think.   Design well, Geoff

This presentation is focused on the customization of IsoDraw. It will consist of general examples of how macros can be used to simply common tasks, benefits of setting preference files, and advantages of using custom toolbars. The session will be divided into three main components: macros, preference files, and toolbars. The first component will consist of suggested macro applications such as: Custom macro that both saves master files and exports production files. Centralized variable setting macro. File clean-up routines. The session's second component will focus on the advantages of setting preference files: Consistency of file content. Shared import and export settings. The final portion will focus on creating toolbars. Keeping toolbars user-friendly. Categorizing tasks by use of various toolbars. At the end of this session, participants will be able to: Effectively create macros to streamline the processes of common tasks. Set preference file to ensure consistency. And finally
