It's a tie!  Congratulations to Kenneth Etter of MSKTD, Ft. Wayne Indiana, and Mathew Lawrence of CAlibre, Berkshire UK for their winning entries in our Macro Contest last month.  

Thank you to everyone who submitted their entries.  We appreciate the time and effort that was put into creating and submitting these macros - they were all winners!  It was a difficult decision to choose just one winner, so we've decided to make it a tie.  Mr. Etter's macro does leaders and arrows, and Mr. Lawrence's macro converts .dwg symbols.  Details on these macros to come in next month's newsletter.

 

 
  • Q: When I insert a *.bmp or *.tif image into CADVANCE, my *.vwf file becomes enormously large.  Why?
  • A: You may have used Edit / Insert Object to import your image file.  Edit / Insert Object uses OLE (Object Linking Embedding), and OLE objects take up much more disk space than a simple Edit/PasteSpecial.  Instead of using Insert Object, do the following:

    1) Open your image file, select your image, then Edit/Copy.  Go into CADVANCE and use Edit/PasteSpecial and paste as Picture.

 

  • Q: How do I get rid of the UserId screen at startup?
  • A: In the Cadvance.ini file, enter three letters immediately after 'UserId='. The line should read UserId=xxx where x = any lower case or upper case letter. Save the file. Now you will not need to enter a user ID when you start up CADVANCE.
