      I believe you need to update the Win32API.so file in the folder cadlog.

    • Aerofilm collection from English Heritage

      Dear All,

      Britain from the air.

      Background to the collection

      The collection was created by Aerofilms Ltd, a pioneering air survey company set up by First World War veterans FL Wills and C Grahame-White in 1919. In addition to Aerofilms’ own imagery, the firm expanded its holdings with the purchase of two smaller collections – AeroPictorial (1934-1960) and Airviews (1947-1991).

    • RE: A Thread for Fine Design

      It's called the Millenium Bridge, and they initially got the design wrong

      They fixed the problem (see below), and now it's a London landmark.

      For the mathematically inclined:

      The conclusion of the study:

      "The introduction of damping by a combination of frame-mounted viscous dampers and tuned-mass vibration absorbers has cured the London Millennium Bridge’s famous wobble. It was caused by synchronous lateral excitation from pedestrians, a phenomenon that was not well-known at the time but for which there is now a good understanding and good data."

    • RE: Any UK solicitors here? (Solved)

      Dear Baz,

      It would help to know where your relative lived. If the issue is about an inheritance then someone local might serve you better.

      I live in Oxford, and have used these people:

    • RE: Proton Beam Facility Construction

      Dear David,

      I thought as much. Here in the UK, we have much to thank Aneurin Bevan for, being the so-called father of the NHS (http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history/sites/themes/figures/aneurin_bevan.shtml).

      This might be of interest to readers:

      Dear Tim,

      You and your colleagues are to be congratulated on your achievement. How long did it take start to finish, and did you have building experience before starting the project?

      David,

      Will patients be treated free-of-charge, or will they have to have medical insurance to benefit from the $100M gift?

      Just thought I write and say thank you for all your hard work. I cannot see an immediate use for your plugin, but I'm sure that it will be useful to many. What prompted you to write the plugin in the first place?

    • RE: SU / Spaceclaim

      I have never needed to find out as I work at a university, but I believe they are significantly cheaper than many other top end 3D CAD packages. Why don't you request a quote and let us know.

    • RE: SU / Spaceclaim

      Dear All,

      I have written this before, but if you are attached to a school or academic institute then SpaceClaim is very reasonably priced. Compared to Autodesk products, it is almost a give-away.
