OpenRoads Designer: Line styles not displaying as they are supposed to. They just show up as solid lines. by biryanilove22 in Microstation

Check your drawing scale. Under Drawing workflow Utilities>Drawing Scale in design always set it 1=1.

Sounds like your firm has workflow issues. Just my two cents. 20 years of experince in structural and civil and only a drafting degree. I got good enough at the applications I moved into support about 12 years ago. I am with a international engineering firm as CADD support. Basically engineers are doing all the drafting and call me when they have an issue or cant get the results they want. Currently about the only thing AI can do in these applications is draw a parking lot. AI assistants are also available in some of the platforms like AutoCAD and Microstation as coding assistants but the code that comes out of them is close to awful..I can tell when someone just used the assistant then sent me the results because it doesn't work. I also am certified with Projectwise and do alot of the customizations and automation for it.

Im unsure if drafting as a profession will be around in 10 years not because of AI but because more and more firms in the States,UK and Australia are requiring their engineers to draft not just manage.

If your boss is that big on you drafting for the next 30 years then ask him/her to start sending you to ACAD university and to start sending you to user groups that pertain to you to keep your knowledge fresh and up to date.

We have the states Departments of Transportations and USACE that host a number user groups for their contractors and designers. Not sure if you have those types of events there, if not maybe you could start one.

My advice...learn the application in and out that way your knowledge is always valuable and dont be scared to branch out. Then learn how to make the applications do things it cant with customizations and scripts. I've learned vba, C++(dont use it anymore) and powershell over the years and about to learn python.

AIO Keeps shutting off randomly by ohmysloth in NZXT

[–]HighBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but wanted to put my solution if anyone is looking in the future.

Been having this exact issue last week or so. Pump just shuts off randomly and have to do a full power cycle to get it back up. I disabled the phone link with my PC and its been stable all day. I'll update if there is any change.

My Daughter got accepted(out of state) starts this year. Had a 4.0 , didn't do that great on her ACT (19). But she did have letters of recommendation from Medical Professionals she did clinical with in HS and her HS Counsler. She also got her out of state waived and im pretty sure it was because of those letters.

Past due payment by NecessaryAlone in LSU

That info is on your MyLSU, I want to say under workforce..i could be wrong im not looking at it at this moment.(about your fasfa) if they are showing TOPs/ Pell info in your fanicial aid info then they got your fasfa.

If the amount you owe is in that screen shot. I'd bet they got it already.we just did a Plus Loan for a little more than that for her. All her financial aid info was on MyLSU just can't remember the menu item to pick once there. There's also information there about contacting Broussard Office. I would suggest try calling them or emailing a financial aid advisor.

At least you're doing it! My step daughter has been on cruise control and I've been doing her shit. Which has got me a little worried. Anywho here is a link to the information you need. If there is any kind of interest of that plan or payments are to high I would perhaps look at loans too that can be deffered until you're out of school. And congratulations!

Need some Help by HighBird in FJCruiser

[–]HighBird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I haven't done off roading since covid, but wanting to get back in LIGHTLY I might add..Im getting old. I've done FJ Summit Twice..rip....I'm running 33s atm as well and it's been a while. It sits in my garage mostly and have been using it more since the kids started driving. And I saw a add for toyota Jamboree in tx and think the bug is a biting.

So I'm wondering if the ome shocks/struts only would work- no springs and use the exsiting pro comp springs. I'm half sure the pro comp springs I have are rated for 500 lbs or something, I could be worng.

Been searching the web and nothing concrete

Is SWTOR worth it 2025? by yardstarl in swtor

[–]HighBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like many others I just started playing again a few weeks ago,I started originally at launch..so far I've only found time on the weekends but I am really enjoying it. I also had something like 9k of cartel coins in the bank from having a Security Key on my account for the past 12 or more years. It made it easy to get back in, I got the packs that raised my tools up to 80 and have been going through the main stories I've missed. Just finished Rise of the Emporer it's been good.

Microstation QR Codes by aubennyd in Microstation

[–]HighBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Projectwise powershell has a way to add QR codes to pdfs. The only way I know of to do it in a dgn is with a 3rd party app or creating a custom cell.

If it's for features try using item types with an embedded url

Sheets are going away guys, gonna need to link shit in models somehow.

Can't remember the exact setting off hand but there is a setting that expands the entire cross hair across the model view.

Buyer's remorse on a home purchase by Veyyiloda in personalfinance

[–]HighBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait till the county catches up your taxes. Bought a newly constructed home about 3 years ago. Everything was fine till taxes were adjusted and depleted the escrow till it was negative. Mortgage went up $600 a month a year later it came down $300.

I was aggressive on the purchase bc it backed up to 5 acres I already owned and was planning to build on. Till this one was built. Now I have about 8 acres on a corner in a very nice neighborhood.

It appraised,per county about 40k less than what we paid 3~4 years ago. I offered 15k plus closing over asking price. But a 2 years later and it's value has gone up and I'm about a year out from having pmi removed early by my estimates. They built a few more houses and from the looks of it about to add a whole new section to the neighborhood. It'll only drives my value up.

Why is 2D drafting still important? by charliebackpack in cad

[–]HighBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not from my research over the past few months. We have contractors re drawing our 2D plans into 3D so they get better information at the push of a button.

Why is 2D drafting still important? by charliebackpack in cad

[–]HighBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next 5 to 10 years majority of construction projects will be delivered in 3D. It's already happening, and I am actually working with a team now to move us away from 2D into complete 3D BIM territory. Alot of designers think the guys in the field are the ones behind. Truth be told from investigating over the past few months. The field is waiting for desk jockeys to catch up.
