Just in case you’d thought I’d forgotten…here’s your teaser for the week. (Click on it for the full size version!)
We’re almost done with this program, and should have testing versions available soon.
This program is the only one I know of that will take NATIVE C3D surface data, a stream CL alignment, a series of polyline cross sections and generate a HEC-RAS .geo file.
One use, it’s paid for. I wrote this for my own production use, and EE is refining it for your use. Come back soon for the full announcement!
Oh, and I’ve been in Dallas, Tulsa, Plano, and Birmingham this week, so forgive my low NG post count! Hey, at least I’m consistent on the blog front…inconsistent as ever.

I’ve been proven wrong twice today…
I was contacted yesterday by a user, Keith Kempker, about whether Land Desktop could be run in MDI mode (Multiple Document Interface). Well, no, it never has been able to, why now? Well, it seems as if there is a option on the System tab of Options in Land Desktop that allows you to run in SDI mode or MDI. I dismissed it as being something in there as a holdover from AutoCAD, but no, it works. I got a report back from him today that said he did, in fact, have multiple drawings and multiple projects open at once. I verified this with James Wedding, who was sitting next to me at the time.
My question was “HOW?” His answer - “Magic”
Anyway, here’s a screen shot so you’ll know where to find it:
Have Fun!

If you’re on any AutoCAD 2007-based product, you’ve likely seen the new External Refereneces window. In previous versions, we had one window for XREFS (referenced DWG files) and one window for Image references (raster images). With the inclusion of DWF references (yes, we can now reference a DWF file into our drawing - too cool!), Autodesk decided to merge all these managers into one relatively simple window to manage ALL references. If you’re not on 2007, here’s a preview of what that window looks like:
Now, not everyone likes this new window. I spoke with a long-time AutoCAD user yesterday, Keith Kempker about this very thing. He was irate (yeah, that’s the nice way to put it) that Autodesk took away his Image Manager window. He was so irate, in fact, that he went off in search of his missing Image Manager window. Luckily for him, he found it on the AUGI Forums with the help of Tim Creary (I promised to give credit for this nice discovery.)
In short, to get back your old Image Manager window, simply type CLASSICIMAGE at the command line - this brings back our old familiar interface:
Have fun!
