Hi William, firstly I just want to say....
I am so stoked that there is finally a real free alternative to the "Autocrash" monopoly. I use autocad at work and have, until now, not found a viable alternative to use at home. I do however have 1 issue that I have come across.
A 6mb floor plan (.dwg) that I opened on DoubleCAD runs a fair bit slower on my machine at home compared to my machine at work. The specs are virtually identical btw. The problem is that panning and zooming is very "choppy" and not smooth as it is on ACAD. Is there any way that I can rectify this? Is it a opengl issue or/and is there and opengl display setting to tweak etc?

FYI the machine specs are basically as follows:
Intel Dual Core 3ghz
2GB Ram
Nvidia Geforce 7600 256mb ram
WinXP 32bit

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hey Jacques, great work.
I agree with Pbacot, the amount of people ambling around is a bit distracting but if you consider that that is the only real neg crit, then kudo's to you bru.
BTW, I doubt you'd find that many people working at the same time in Cape Town
How about some info into your archviz process with Sketchup & Vray, if you don't mind?

Hey,
There's a chance I will be designing a movie that is shooting in South Africa. We will be based out of Johannesburg or Durban. If this happens I'll need to crew an art department, specifically set design/draftspeople with experience in set construction. Any leads would be appreciated.
Thx.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I have no set construction experience at all, or the time unfortunately, as this sounds like an awesome oppourtunity.
Try looking at the following and post a request there, either on the forums or one of the boards: http://www.animationsa.org/ or http://www.designmind.co.za/

I'll get back to you if I find anyone who's interested or think of anything else!

I don't know if making new template will solve your problem but I have managed to sort out toolbars randomly moving with making new template. This was on PC though.

I agree with Sepo, arrange your toolbars as needed and then save as a template.
Worked like a charm!!!

Just bought it and can't wait to get some time to play around with it.
Thanks Dale, great work!!!

Those are brilliant examples of what can be achieved with KT.
Looking forward to some more...

BTW, ever thought about doing a texturing and lighting tutorial for all us struggling KT users?

Looks brilliant!
Can't wait.

Congratulations USA
The vast majority of people here in South Africa are very happy and excited at the potential that President Elect Obama holds for you and the international community in general.
Now lets hope he lives up to his potential!

Awesome, thanks I really appreciate it!

3. Re. “animals", at first, they have no spirit…!

What a load of hooey!
My animals show more soul and spirit than most "humans" and sure as "hell" don't go around quoting religious text before committing acts of mass genocide & other atrocities.

When eating out, people never finish their food and/or drink.
They also always throw a wad of cash to pay for the meal, never knowing what the bill came to.

Nothing in life is free!

Wow, awesome freebies!!!
Thanks, we all appreciate it!

Bliksem!!!!

Awesome work Jaques, you make us proud!

Granted, but you are now always "squeaky clean" and lose the ability to have fun.

I wish that I had 1% of Bill Gates fortune!

Granted, but they will do it in there own time.

I wish Google would announce it before the end of the month.

Granted, but now any and all conservative ideals are flying out the window!

I wish my car was a transformer and could drive me to work, and mess with all the bad drivers who seem to be stalking me.
