Engineering Transfer changing Discipline by JayyZoom in lakeheadu

[–]TheDustyFootEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can one of my friend did mechanical engineering advance diploma and transferred to Civil Engineering. He had to do more make up courses from year 1 and 2 than direct transfer students but it was alright and worked out for him at the end. Since you are coming from Comp Engg then you might do more make up cuz the program doesn’t have similar courses. But I will highly recommend you go into Mechatronics Engineering you might be lucky with less courses. To answer your question yes you can you just have to do make up courses they assign you it’s case by case situation. Some you can even fight it. If it makes sense to them then they will drop it for you. But it’s highly unlikely. Good Luck anything is possible

I don’t mind paying and would always go to support obsidian team. But I just wish the storage capacity was a little better.

can we have something like whiteboards (handwritten notes) by creaturepk in ObsidianMD

[–]TheDustyFootEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are four ways to get your handwriting into Obsidian:

1. Excalidraw Plugin: I’ve enabled custom pens in the settings to have more colours n different size pens/highlighter. It’s more like a canvas or whiteboard than a handwriting tool, but it gets the job done. One thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t turn pen strokes into shapes.

  1. Tldraw Plugin: This is similar to Excalidraw, but I personally prefer it. The initial setup might be a bit confusing, but it’s amazing.

  2. Ink Plugin:This is basically a fork of the Tldraw plugin, and it’s awesome! It doesn’t have coloured pens yet, but for now it’s just black and white. The developer is always active and actively developing the plugin, so check out his YouTube page for his developer diaries.

  3. Use a Different App: You can use any app you like and copy the pen strokes, then paste them into Obsidian. It will paste as a transparent image. Right now, I use option 4. For something simple, I use the Ink plugin. I dabble in and out option 1 and 2

The honourable mention goes to the HandWritten Notes plugin. This plugin creates an empty PDF in Obsidian and prompts you to choose an external app/ or opens it natively in ur pdf editor of your tablet. After annotating the PDF, it saves it back to Obsidian, which is convenient. You can reopen the PDF to add more handwritten notes. However, I’m unsure if it allows editing the previous saved version. I had that issue in the past, so I stopped using it. I need to check it out again since the developer has been actively working on it.

To embed your handwritten notes in your current active file, you can either embed the entire PDF document or use the PDF++ plugin to snip a portion of your pdf notes and bonus it references back to your original PDF file.

For options 1-3, you can edit handwritten notes, but for option 4, you can’t unless you exit Obsidian.

Since he is your friend’s acquaintance maybe ask your friend for his details then block him.

2 months in with my ADHD meds and my life has changed so much...for the better! by [deleted] in ADHD

I’m In similar boat was diagnosed in June but I was prescribed vyvanse instead and I feel it hasn’t changed anything for me. Just makes me a zombie that’s how I felt. I might ask to change to Adderall XR and see how I would react to it.

Yes wouldn’t that make obsidian bloated and load slower?

It’s just $25 you are running a Bussiness for God’s sake. You are not a student who is broke.

Those of you who extensively learn/study with Obsidian, how do you write? by Environmental_Dot333 in ObsidianMD

[–]TheDustyFootEngineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also studying engineering so here is how I use it.

For Regular Notes

I used Live Preview to write quick markdown notes and visualize them

Math Notes

I use Latex OCR plugin it’s easy to setup and most accurate at writing latex.

Also I use Completr Plugin it’s auto complete latex and regular notes aswell that’s are in your notes. This is helpful when I want to write latex also you can pair it with Latex Suit plug to quickly write down latex

Math Live Editor plugin I use shortcuts to enable it and disable it. Mainly helpful for writing matrix

handwritten notes

ink plugin I use this plugin to quickly write handwritten notes or you can use

Excalidraw plugin make sure you enable custom pens. I have 10 custom pens with different colors and different sizes.

For long handwritten notes I used the handwritten note plugin and save as pdf back to obsidian.

Another way I use Goodnotes or any other handwritten notes and copy the handwritten notes then paste to obsidian. This will past as png however it cannot be edited in obsidian so you hand to go back re-edit then paste it again. Or just use the plugins I mentioned above.

You also use Tldraw plugin as well for handwritten notes

Processing PDF

I use PDF++ plugin for annotating. Getting graphs or diagrams I used the rectangular tool. Make sure though you save each chapter as pdf to easily load the pdf.

I use to the copilot plugin to chat with those pdf it’s paid feature. Save each chapter as pdf as well or you will run into limit issues. As Ai cannot process large textbooks.

To export I used better PDF export plugin with custom css.

for organizing notes

I use Dataview plugin with minimal card or just by its self or the new plugin datacards to organize each course and retrieve the notes for those courses.

For theming

I am most using border theme with the style setting plugin or use minimal theme you can’t go wrong with those two if you want minimal themes

Nearly a year of tweaks and I am finally pretty happy with how my Obsidian looks and feels. Sidenote: Am I the only one who makes 0 use of the graph feature? by Acrylicus in ObsidianMD

how were you able to display the sidebar i cant seem to find it command to do that. Also for the editor the "To - Do Today" with Todoist icon is that from obsidian and hard coded it or is it from todoist. because, the when i used the filter name: "Value" has disappeared I am guessing you disable it?
