AUTOCAD DISABLE F1 KEY TIP
Thursday, November 12th, 2009FOUND THIS AT THE AUGI FORUM, GREAT STUFF, THANKS TO MIKE PERRY FOR POSTING THIS ON THE FORUM
— BEGIN POST—-
Help reassigning that pesky F1 key
I know there are many people who don’t want F1 to be help in AutoCAD. Courtesy of Lynn Allen, here is how to reassign your F1 key to be cancel, so it will act the same way as your escape key.
First execute your CUI command. In the upper left panel, scroll through and find keyboard shortcuts. Click on the plus sign to expand it. You should see shortcut keys and temporary override keys.
Next, in the lower left, you should see the command list. Find the cancel command. You can hit C and that will pop you to the start of the “c” commands, you should be able to find it easily from there.
Once you’ve found it, grab it and drag it up to the shortcut keys under the keyboard shortcuts. It doesn’t matter where, as long as it is in the shortcut keys section. Click on the cancel under the shortcut keys to select it
Now, if you look over on the bottom right, you should see the properties for the cancel command. Click on the key(s) line to select it, then click on the ellipsis (you know, the three dots). In the box where it says Press the New Shortcut Key press F1. Click OK, and then again to exit to the CUI dialog, and your F1 key should now work just like your escape key!

Tired of NOT having photoshop at every computer you go to?
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009ever get irritated by going over to someones house, or entering an internet cafe and finding that their computers just don’t have photoshop? and you sit there wishing “huh… if only i had photoshop” or you somehow do have photoshop on you but don’t want to spend 20 minutes installing it…
well. here is a potential answer: there is a program called paint.net that is a super light installation and allows you do to all the basic photoeditting you wanted, including tools such as levels, brushes, layers, transparencies, etc.
best of all, its under 2mb! carry that on a jump drive, or if your old school enough, break it up into 2 floppy disks.
good luck and happy photo editing.

architectural record has posted ” Laid off? How emerging design professionals are coping “… our good friend, Brian Jones shows up here….

Brian Jones, pre-guatemala
So, recently the big news around town has been that “emerging design professionals” aren’t doing so well when in the job market. In fact, it happens to be that now more than ever, architects are getting laid off in HUGE numbers left and right, making finding a job a task that is almost impossible as a) no one is hiring or b) those firms who ARE hiring, have literally thousands of other people applying for the same positions…
A good portion of our friends who graduated with us are out of work (less than 25% still have jobs)… one of our good friends, Brian Jones, has recently peaced out to Guatemala to live with a family in antigua and is taking time to learn the Spanish language and is treking around working with local architects, or just enjoying the different local architecture, culture, and ambiance that is a much needed change than one’s life style in New York City. During one of our nights out on the town of NY (when he was still employed) we joked about him moving to Guatemala to be a gardener and live a much more peaceful and harmonious life…. the joking around got more convincing and seemed to develop a seed in Jone’s thoughts that sprouted in full force when in fact he did get laid off… Later that month, we made plan and moved him to Guatemala and he has been there since.
Architectural Record recently published an article here and had this to say: “Brian Jones, who was laid off in November, heard horror stories from friends about huge lay-offs at their corporate firms while simultaneously being inundated with resumes from talented designers. Instead of joining the fray, he moved to Guatemala. “Having no real ties or large responsibilities, I decided that now would be the best time to do something like this. I felt that it was much more important to do something that I was interested in rather than ‘settle for a job’,” he explains. Brian, who is documenting his adventures on his blog is living with a Guatemalan family while perfecting his Spanish and plans to eventually work in an architecture firm in South America. “Under different circumstances, I may not have taken the risk,” Brian contends.”
