A couple of weekends ago, shortly after returning from our trip to the States, I walked down to the area of Lake Neuchâtel that's nearest our house, called La Tène (which is now also the name of our local commune (or municipality), which was recently created as a result of fusing Marin-Epagnier with Thielle-Wavre… thankfully […]

Just a quick note to say Glenn Ryan's latest contribution, RefUcsSpy, is now live as August's Plugin of the Month. I posted a preview of the application a few weeks ago, and you can now get the compiled plugin with complete source project from the Plugin of the Month page on Autodesk Labs. Thanks, Glenn! […]

I've been having a fun discussion with Augusto Gonçalves, based in São Paulo working for our DevTech Americas team, on the subject of QR Codes. Augusto's a technology junky – like many members of DevTech – and has been playing around decoding QR Codes with his mobile phone. QR (from "Quick Response") Codes are two-dimensional […]

Yes, I know, I know – we're halfway through the month, already. This plugin has been live on Autodesk Labs since the beginning of the month, but I've been a little distracted by April Fools' jokes, fooling around with Photosynth point clouds as well as finishing up some internal activities which always tend to take […]

The latest edition of AUGIWorld, the official magazine of AUGI (the Autodesk User Group International), has an article (written by me, which does indeed make this a shameless plug 🙂 on our Plugin of the Month initiative. Thanks to Mark Kiker and Marilyn Law for helping make this happen; it's great to get the word […]

I'm very pleased to announce the availability of this really interesting Plugin of the Month over on Autodesk Labs: Batch Publish for AutoCAD. Here's an excerpt from the ReadMe (which I happen to have written, but anyway): This plugin can be used with AutoCAD to simplify the process of publishing sets of drawings to DWF […]

Firstly, a slightly belated "Happy New Year!" to all of you. I'm now easing back into the saddle after three very relaxing weeks off with family and friends. One of the first activities I had on my plate in 2010 was to tidy up the application I presented in this previous post and turn it […]
