Webinar that you do not whant to miss

Many of you do not care about what happens behind the screen when you design. Most of the times when i receive question people want an answer not and explanation and i understand that not all questions need explanation.

However i must say that overtime time i have been proven that in many situations if designer could understand and know what happen instead of only looking for a solution, many questions would not have been ask.

So when i saw this ad for a webinar about CAD kernel from Siemens i though you should give a shoot and take a small peek at what happening when you model

    Internet Slang Words and Computer Slang

    InternetSlang – Internet Dictionary

    On this site you will find a list of slang terms, acronyms and abbreviations as used in websites, ICQ chat rooms, blogs, SMS, and Internet forums – a complete dictionary of slang.
    There are many such internet slang words in use, some are more widely understood than others, and new ones are evolving all the time. This list is large but inevitably incomplete; however it contains the more commonly used slang words and slang terms. 4420 acronyms are listed at present – if you know of another that should be here then please add an acronym.
    Note that a few of the internet abbreviations stand for phrases containing words that may be offensive to some people. In those cases we have substituted asterisks, or similar, for the internet slang words in question.

    Face style broken links

    From time to time or after few years of creating CAD design, you decide do make some cleaning. Worst case scenario the network guy ( you know the one we always blame for our CAD problems or for the network to be too slow) decide to remount the network to place thing in a better logical way or simply to install a new server.

    So being sure those files are not important we erase them or move them in another location and with time we lost track of those files. Has time pass again we rediscover those files “Hey those are old project files, don’ need them anymore…..Delete”
