Thanks for the info! Let me suggest a much better free program than eSword, called The Word (www.theword.net). Much more advanced than eSword in every single area, but not (yet?) the most popular!

Josh!!!!! Your like my long lost brother. You probably are my brother in the Lord. I was searching the datacad forum because my hardlock cant be found after a my computer goes in standby mode and I have to restart it in order for it to be recognized, Win 7 64. I saw that you avatar was fallout, I love fallout, so I clicked on your blog and saw that practically everything you like, I like. I just got E sword from Wisdom in Torah, Rico Cortes. I just got winrar for my new job, and I just got a new computer with an i7 processor. I don’t do dos. I would ask to be friends on facebook, but I only use it to post stupid things. I’m married and have 3 kids, and live in Palm Desert, CA. I’ve been in the architecture business for 10 years and just had to get a new job, work has died out here. My family and I also just started following Gods commandments. We are believers in Jesus and we believe that His commandments are for those who are already in the kingdom, not for those who want to get in. We have been listening to Mark Biltz from El Shaddai Ministries for about 2 years. So much to say so little time to say it.
I am about a week away from launching my new Digital Downloads store, which will have those hatches downloadable as freebees. Check back in a week or so and click the Digital Downloads link at the top of the page.
Hi my name is Galen and I came across your site today and its awesome! I can see that you love everything about technology and are more than happy to share your knowledge. I am going to make good use of the windows# shortcut haha. I work for a website called Tech For Less and we specialize in affordable and reliable tech from referbished phone to anything you need for computers. I think we would make a great addition to your links page for your followers to get tech! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
P.S. I have to say I am pretty jealous of your Goonies prize pack
FYI- This software seems to have been abandoned, and no longer installs correctly on Windows 7 as far as I can tell. Should run fine on Windows XP VM’s once you install .Net 1.1 but I haven’t tried yet myself.
If your version of Datacad is installed to a location other than C:\Datacad, then you will need to set the installers Destination Folder to match accordingly using the browse button to locate your \Support Files\Color Palettes\ folder. Once you install the Color Palettes, in Datacad, you should be able to go up to Tools, Color Palettes, and select a palette from the drop down list.
Does not work when opening a word.doc file out of Dropbox or Google Drive via Word 2013. The document does not have “Read Only” checked under properties. Any other suggestions? – Kent
I would guess it’s probably due to the nature of the file being opened from a web location vs local.
Looks like a recent update might have triggered this. Check out this post and see if their suggestions help. I don’t have any online accounts setup for Word. I work local and only sync up to the clown, eh cloud for backups. 🙂
There’s also an option to disable documents being opened in reading mode from the internet.
Go under Options -> Trust Center Settings -> Protected view, and uncheck all of those.
I hope this works!
I’m actually having trouble with a client who’s Word 2013 opens large documents in reading mode, but only if he opens them by opening the folder within Word (which happens to be the only way he opens them). It doesn’t do it if he uses a recent document button or from Windows explorer. And I’ve unchecked both the option Josh suggested AND the one I suggested. I’m about to just reformat the drive using an image we have.
Question: On DataCad 18
I’m adding door and window symbols to a condo plan, then making an XREF and then flipping it the other side. Problem is the numbers when flipped are lower on the inside of the oval/hexagon and block it out. Is there a way to make these flip symmetrically?
Thanks.
Jeff
So there is a couple of things probably going on. First and most major thing is probably the font being used. Most CAD based CHR/SHX fonts don’t mirror too well usually, a few do ok. If there is a TTF version of your font available, I would try using that font, and set it to a Center/Middle alignment and see how the flipping and flopping go both with xrefs and with symbols, and when using Fix Text On and Off. I usually will try to load up the largest number I think I will use (size wise) so something like 888 depending on the font’s number shapes. I start with the text dead center in the shape, test the flipping and flopping to see how things go and then I make minor adjustments in the text’s location to find a happy middle location based on trying different numbers. Hope this helps get you going 🙂 Thanks for visit! P.S. – Do you have an account on the Datacad Forum?
I am trying to change icons in my toolbar. I did it once but now I can not remember how I
did it. I have datacad 11.08.1.
I do not have page 591 in manuel book
I don’t recall the specifics for v11 but should be very similar to what they are now and whats show above in my post. Download the v.18 manual and check out pages 585-588 for more info.
Just a follow up on this post. I haven’t had this problem since so that nice, but the thin synthetic leather material all over my headphones has begun to deteriorate horribly. Can’t believe Corsair is still using it on their newer line of headphones when the cloth material is still holding up great and should be used in those areas.
I found this page when I was trying to discover how to get rid of the Custom office template folder from My Documents and followed a Microsoft link. I wanted to thank you because it has proved invaluable to me in cleaning up My Documents.

Josh, do you still have the hatch patterns that used to be on your old site? I had to do a reinstall a while back and had not backed them up.
I am about a week away from launching my new Digital Downloads store, which will have those hatches downloadable as freebees. Check back in a week or so and click the Digital Downloads link at the top of the page.

I have downloaded your Sherwin Williams palettes, now how do I change the palettes in datacad 14?
If your version of Datacad is installed to a location other than C:\Datacad, then you will need to set the installers Destination Folder to match accordingly using the browse button to locate your \Support Files\Color Palettes\ folder. Once you install the Color Palettes, in Datacad, you should be able to go up to Tools, Color Palettes, and select a palette from the drop down list.
I’m still learning to subtract 2 digit numbers!

Your GDGTS web link does not operate.
BTW, thanks for your site.
Thanks for the heads up on the broken link. Forgot to remove after their site dissolved.

Well scratch that. They just locked up on me again. 🙂 This fix worked again.
My Problem is to find the dadacad ini file
Ron
It should be located in your Datacad’s program folder.
