Pete, Sorry to hear about your EAGLE frustrations.
As for your question on tools, I would like to suggest you take a look at AirTable (https://airtable.com). It is a very powerful combination of a CRM tool, a spreadsheet and a database. I am using it to track my deployed units and the maintenance renewal dates as well as key customer contacts. Hope this helps, Chip Chip McClelland [email protected] (919) 624-5562 On Aug 23, 2018, 2:43 PM -0400, [email protected], wrote: > Send TriEmbed mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.triembed.org/mailman/listinfo/triembed_triembed.org > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of TriEmbed digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. congratulations Autodesk (Not!)
