AutoCAD DWG Trueview 2010 OSnap fix

OK, so I was pretty happy about Autodesk releasing DWG Trueview in the first place. I can finally convert those pesky 2009 drawings down to 2004 format with ease!

Then I started recommending it as a nice dwg viewer to my co-workers. Great! Then Autodesk went one step further and enabled the measurement tools in it!!! Success!! now I don't have to figure out areas for all these people!! Only one thing wrong... they have hampered the effectiveness of these tools by providing no visible way to TURN OFF OSNAP besides clicking on the "snap none" or _NON button every time. This problem is compounded by the fact that you cannot snap to non co-planar points when computing a 2d area. Sooo many plans have different 2D items at different elevations due to bad drafting that this cripples the effectiveness of the area tool.

So, I set about to find a way to set OSMODE to 0 and let me choose when I want to osnap it up by clicking the buttons.

Well... after pouring through the files in the install directory and doing a bunch of googling I found that the osmode default variable resides in the registry!! yay!! I changed it to "0000" and BAM! no more stupid unwanted snaps!

Jump into the registry editor using Start-Run-regedit (don't mess around too much with the registry since you can totally bork your software with it.)

Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\DWG TrueView\R7\DWGVIEWR-8001:409\Profiles\<>\General

Right click on the Osmode REG_DWORD and choose "Modify"

Change the value data from "1025" to "0"

Close the registry editor and load up TrueView!!

This should work with DWG Trueview 2009 as well, just replace R7 with R6 in the registry path.

Also, I found out that you can use Ctrl-V to paste certain commands into the commandline, alas OSMODE is not supported... here is a link to some of the ones that do work: http://rkmcswain.blogspot.com/2008/10/dwg-trueview-hidden-commands.html

Wacom Intuos Pen GP300E Disassembly

I went to use my Intuos tablet and found out that my Wacom pen is f'd up, it acts like it is always in the "clicked" position, the tip sensitivity still worked but it couldn't detect if the tip was being "clicked". The utility said that Button 1 was constantly ON, and only when I rapped it on the side would it flicker off just to come back on. So... $50 bucks for a replacement?? I might as well try to fix it myself...

Sooo I wrangled and pushed and pried to no avail, then... I bent more and more and more and...

D'oh, there was a circuit board right in there that snapped with it.

Anyway, this is how it should have slid apart, maybe if you pushed on the eraser end to help a bit it may come out easier. I really did try pulling the thing apart, just not hard enough I guess.



My hope is that somebody will stumble on this page if they are trying to get their stylus pen apart and do it the right way.






This is an old post which I thought I would place on this blog along with my post about the w580i

w580i video player fast forward

I posted this over at http://www.topsony.com/forum/mobile-phones-f4/w580i-video-controls-t14025.html


Since I had this question too I figure it's good to spread the answer far and wide for teh good of the intarnets.

To Fast Forward video on the w580i using the included video player in portrait mode just hold down right on the directional pad, the button that has >> on it, hold down left (<<) to rewind. You can see the time go by in the bar at the top and let go when you get to the correct minute:second.

When you are in landscape mode you hold down the down button to fast forward and you hold down the up button to rewind..

Sony assumes you have turned the phone on it's side when you use landscape mode, that's why the FF button changes. Also, you don't have the nice bar to indicate the time position as you are fast forwarding so you have to just guess when to stop holding the button or switch back to portrait mode to fast forward or rewind.

It's teh fogs. i almost missed my second bus too but the mini mini was employed quickly and i raced up and parked a stop ahead of my express chariot. Through the mist we travelled downtown, the duwamish looked muddy from the apex of the bridge. I just miss the bus to work from 4th and union and snap this building disappearing into the sky.

Sweet, Word can go fuck itself. When did it start thinking it needed more of my measly computing resources than Photoshop? Seriously, I took a screenshot, clicked OK on this box and opened Photoshop CS3 and pasted the screenshot into it.

Most Eskallent Pictures

Hi, I lost a shit ton of great pictures when I was laid off of my last job and they wouldn't give me access to my computer or a copy of my directory. :P I do what I can, jooknow.





This is an awesome dissection of the term "hot dog flavored water," pioneered by Limp Biskit.
Apparently it's some band in joke, this wasn't even close.




Next I have an amazing picutre illustrating how I intended to eat Eel's hands and sew his wrists to each other. There was some confusion about if I was sewing the hand or the arm portion of the wrists together.




Here's another gem, my friend urn and some of his lovely friends, if you are are hip to all. this internets shit you'd know that this is an homage to hotchickswithdouchebags.com


Sorry for making a fucking blog.
