The CUI White Paper covers how to create a command and then work with many of the different user interface elements that are available in AutoCAD.

The third part in the Dynamic Block series focuses on some of the more advanced topics like Cycling Insertion Points, Chaining Parameters and Visibility States.

Opera Turns 10 Today

Opera a popular alternative web browser is turning 10 years old today.  (Don't worry the software is up to date though.)  If you are a user of Internet Explorer or Netscape and what to try something different Opera is a great choice.  I have been using Opera over the past couple of years and have found that it does seem to have better page loading performance over IE or Netscape.  It was also one of the first browsers to support tabs for open pages.  If you want to check out the browser, head over to the Opera Home Page.

If you are an existing user of Opera and want to get rid of those banners alone the top, Opera is giving away free Registration Codes until Midnight of 8/31/05.

Sincerely,
