The Nemetschek Group and Adobe Systems Inc. have announced they will be working together more closely to optimize document processes for architects and engineers. The two companies are promoting PDF as the format of choice for the exchange of data in the building industry. VectorWorks 12.5 already integrates Adobe PDF creation capabilities directly into its CAD software. As a result, users can create Adobe PDF files from within VectorWorks and import PDF files into VectorWorks 12.5. These PDF files feature intelligent functions such as layers, scale information, and searchable text. Further integration of Adobe technology will follow in future software releases.
Precursor Systems is now pleased to be a VectorWorks Reseller offering the complete VectorWorks line-up including: Fundamentals, Designer, Architect, Landmark, Spotlight, Machine Design, and RenderWorks.

Vista (Microsoft's version of Mac OS X) is finally upon us. Many commentators have already weighed in on the copious similarities between the two operating systems. But there is still one thing that sets Microsoft and Windows apart from the Apple/Macintosh world --and it is unlikely to change: Simplicity and Ease-of-Use. Mac OS X still stands head and shoulders above Windows Vista in this regard and nothing demonstrates it better than the upgrade paths available in the two operating systems. An internet user, recently posted a chart that illustrates this better than any news article could and we have posted it online so that you can LOL to your hearts content.

In 2005 the U.S. Congress passed a bill that may play havoc with your computer and/or calendar software. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 changed the implementation of Daylight Savings Time to gain a full month of energy savings per year. Since Canada has followed along in lock step it means that we will be switching over to D.S.T. three weeks early this year on the 2nd Sunday of March. We have put together a tech note on this subject to help you prevent a mini "Y2K" event with your computer.
