Google Earth and Civil 3D 2009... Good to know!!!

Hello everybody... For all of us that love to use Google Earth to download and load information back and forth; last week working on a demo, I found out that Civil 3D 2008 and 2009 do not work well with the latest Beta version of Google Earth (4.3.7204 Beta) that you can download for free, please be aware of this because it can make you crazy... your software becames really slow and in the end it hang up the application.... to avoid this I will recommend downloading and installing the last official version of Google Earth (4.2.0205) that actually works really good and very important if the application asks you to do an update say no ;) ... remember... Do what you like... Like what you do...

How to modify the AutoCAD DWG Launcher…

Image
Hi everybody… I had a couple of people asking this question the last couple of days… “Even though I installed AutoCAD 2015, when I double click on a drawing it always opens in AutoCAD 2014 … How do I fix this?”  The problem is that for one reason or another the AutoCAD DWG Launcher is set up to work in this case with AutoCAD 2014.  Here is what you need to do the make it work:  First please check that the DWG files are associated with the AutoCAD DWG Launcher.  Select a drawing -> Right click -> Go to Properties Go to the Registry Editor (Start -> RUN -> regedit )  Look for the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\DwgCommon\shellex\apps\{F29F85E0-4FF9-1068-AB91-08002B27B3D9}:AutoCAD Select the OpenLaunch key (right click -> Modify…) and change the software version to the correct one as this image shows...
