Hi All We have recently been getting queries into the help desk asking how to bring certain surveys into MX that aren't listed in MX>File>Import. The tool to use for this is the Data Acquisition tool. Data Acquisition compiles information from the following sources: Field Data Formats: InRoads Text Import Wizard (.tiw) InRoads Intermediate (.fwd) GEOPAK (.obs) Tripod Data Systems (.rw5 & .raw) Leitz-Sokkia SDR33 (.sdr) Trimble Link ...

Hi All. First Post of the New Year. This post will explain the process of applying hatching to cut and fill areas of a design for plans and longsections using input files. The images below show what will be achieved. For this process I’ll be using an example design included in the attached genio file ( EXAMPLE GENIO.txt ). The models used are detailed below. Design model – DESIGN UG Ground model – GROUND UG Plan Cut and Fill Hatching...

If you read my blog about Cascading Attributes and found that useful, here’s another way to do something similar, but a bit more complicated. Recently I was asked, “How do I create a SELECT statement to do this?” I have two Project Properties: @"PROJECT_Project_Number" and @"PROJECT_Billing_Type" Here is the logic I want to use: If @"PROJECT_Project_Number" is a NULL then @"PROJECT_Billing_Type"...

A common question I get asked about the ProjectWise V8i SDK training is: “How much programming experience does someone really need to take the class?” The course description has the following requirements and recommendations:” Recently a ProjectWise Administrator asked me this familiar question, but with a new twist: “Someone told me that they had ZERO programming experience, went to the PW SDK class and started developing...

Augmented reality (AR) is a hot subject. Every day, we see more applications of that technology. At the moment, AR finds applications mostly in marketing, tourism, and wayfinding. However, progressively we see research and industrial groups being interested in other, more complex applications of AR, such as medicine and engineering. In those demanding areas, accuracy is important. For instance, decisions taken by engineers often have a major impact...

According to this article Adobe is no longer going to focus on Flash for mobile devices . It is exciting to see the software community using open standards. Now if only all the browsers would conform to those standards so developers didn't have to worry about quirks mode.
