Re: [Emc-users] AMD based Mini-ITX Mobo, Good option?

Kent; ... > I processed an AISC steel > structure model that Bob Lipman in my group had developed for an > international data exchange standardization effort-- I know Bob Lipman, back when I was doing lots with the Web3D Consortium. Very nice, quiet man, and I always found his company a pleasure. Putting my 3D software into the PDF reader was something that was requested, but there are just too many hours in the day. Getting it to work as a browser plugin, cross platform, was more than enough of a pain, especially when the browser wars were at their peak. Bob made the "VRML Plugin Detector", which was recognized as one of the standard VRML/X3D tests for HTML browsers with a VRML/X3D plugin. 3D on the web is an interesting subject; for a little while I was a representative of the Web3D Consortium for the HTML5 Working Group. It was certainly an interesting time, but not one that I'm eager to repeat. The open source VRML/X3D browser that I managed was the largest open source project, and the longest running open source project, managed by the Canadian Federal Government. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, getting traction internally for this set of projects was difficult, so, although the work and people interesting, I'm glad to not be involved in these groups officially any more. One of my colleagues (and, competitors) in the X3D environment is now technical director of Shapeways, so the world is indeed a small place. Although I was paid to write/manage this software by the Canadian Government, if I *did* have $0.50c for every download, my workshop would be a lot larger and more impressive than it is now! 8-) Another John Stewart. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

They've also included PRC data (not something I know much about). - The PDF file structure required tweaking to allow links between the 3D data and other data in a compound PDF file such as 2D and text objects.. - There had to be Adobe software products (sell-able products, by the way) that made it possible for us mere mortals make this all useful in our work. I suspect the first Adobe reader that could display and manipulate u3d data was accomplished by cobbling together Adobe and third-party software and I suspect the first Adobe Acrobat to include 3D capability (version 9?) was too. My group was one of the very first to demonstrate that one could embed a 3D object into the new PDF structures and use it downstream, back when the toolchains were still rather fragmented. I processed an AISC steel structure model that Bob Lipman in my group had developed for an international data exchange standardization effort---called CIMSteel---in which the AISC represented the USA, creating first a .u3d file and then embedding it properly, and posting instructions so the rest of the steel design and fabrication members of the standardization group could use the technique. No biggie, but it seemed important at the time. My thought back then was that Adobe's strategic plan to "own" the engineering-, construction-, and manufacturing-documentation market wasn't going to hold up, but I never made money selling anything so what did I know:-) They were being urged on by certain CAD software houses who wanted to head off certain other CAD software houses from "owning" this same market with the introduction of other proprietary formats and tools. No names please. Since that time, of course, there has been an explosion of formats, tools, and standards to support collaborative engineering and, indeed, entire product/project life-cycle work, shredding any such strategic plan. So far as I know, the current PDF specification still allows for inclusion of 3D data and still allows for linkage between different types of data in different PDF objects. I see no reason for that to change. However, within one release cycle, Adobe appears to have stopped development of the software components that process 3D data from different sources into pdf files. Look instead for products from tetra4D http://www.tetra4d.com/3D-PDF Nobody I was working with at the time was interested* in screens the sizes we see in today's phones and tablets, but I suspect this position has changed for three reasons: 1) the vast reduction in hardware prices in less than a decade; they are no longer budget-busters; 1) growing familiarity with the hardware platforms; many already have them for other reasons and increasingly expect to be able to do anything and everything with them; and 3) the user interfaces keep getting better. I've even seen electronic "redlining" and field annotation being done on a small screen, but it's not a game for my sore eyes and fumble fingers. Regards, Kent *the construction industry, for example, routinely works with ANSI Arch-E (roughly ISO A0) size drawings, and the ship builders wanted even bigger. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [Emc-users] Using MPG under world mode
Hi All, Can I jog using an MPG in world mode? Surely if it is possible to jog manually the MPG can be made to work? Is there a widget, component or hal thingy that will allow "if homed = true then mode = world mode", save me having to do it manually everytime.

Thanks for all the replys. For the ones that have worked with this board are
the graphics drivers fairly straight forward, or is this a graphics card
that will take lots of hunting and hacking in xorg to get going? Im looking
for the most straight forward motherboard solution I can find. Im going to
end up building at least 3 PCs to run a router, mill and lathe, and I would
like to do as little hacking with this stuff as possible.
Thanks,
Joe
My installation was this:
Unplug Sata drive from D525
Plug Sata drive into AMD system
Done
