RECORDED WEBINAR: ADA after 30 Years
Previously recorded on April 29, 2022
Presented by Jeremiah Farmer

It's been 30 years since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Join us for a recap of the goals and intentions behind ADA, plus a discussion of what the next 30 years might hold. For example, is it time to pass another Amendment Act to extend the ADA further, or should we continue to wait for more court decisions to pave the accessibility ramps of the future? As with all our webinars, this presentation will be live-streamed for those who have difficulty hearing.

POWER TIP: Detail Enlargements
Recommended by: Land F/X

When building details, you'll often find yourself needing to provide a close-up view of a detail component that shows a more intricate and detailed view of that component. One of the biggest challenges in creating these enlarged sections lies in maintaining the same dimensions between the main object in the detail and its close-up component. See how our Detail Enlargement tools make this process quick, foolproof, and downright fun.

NOTICE: Major Upgrades to the Irrigation Schedule
Major Upgrades to Irrigation Schedule
We've completely overhauled our Irrigation Schedule functionality for a significant improvement in the way you work with your schedules. In the Irrigation Schedule dialog box, the Drawing and Table options for placing your schedule are now consolidated into a single Table destination. This update provides several advantages, including easier editing, more consistent integration with other platforms, and cleaner code for even quicker development. You can still place a schedule that will plot without visible gridlines – previously the Drawing option – by selecting both Table and Gridlines non-plot. You'll see the lines in your drawing, but they'll appear in a non-plot color. We've also added the option to include the pressure rate for drip equipment, organized the column options to align better for easy selection, and moved the Drip and Equipment Quantity options into flyout menus for a cleaner interface.

In the schedule itself, we've centered the schedule symbols for a tighter column, enlarged the hatch swatches for drip and Schematic areas, improved the text formatting for controlling schedule width, added Xref support, and added a host of changes under the hood to facilitate faster performance and future improvements.

Presented by Mike Bennett

It’s yet another year of product launches and inventory shortages, but the work must go on. Keeping your CAD workstations and other office equipment up to date is essential to your office’s ability to stay productive and keep meeting deadlines. We understand that shopping for a new system is never easy, so we’re here to guide you through the process and show you some quick ways to narrow your search. We’ll also provide some valuable pointers on the other end of the spectrum: the hardware and software we don’t recommend diving into just yet. With our help, you can take the intimidation and guesswork out of your hardware upgrades.

POWER TIP: Land F/X Halloween Costume Contest
WARNING: This Power Tip is for entertainment purposes only, and may very well be haunted. We held our annual Land F/X employee costume contest through the eerie magic of video conference this year, and we're excited to invite you into our spookily spectacular meta-netherverse. The stakes were high, and our team came through as always. Push "play" to be whisked away to a Zoom meeting of para-abnormal fun and put a scary (or silly) face to the voice of your favorite Land F/X technician. Remember: "It doesn’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning." –Dominic Toretto
