Bureau Service |
|
| |
The 2006 SAICE Infrastructure Report Card for South Africa has revealed the huge challenges facing the civil engineering industry with particular reference to the sanitation, solid waste management, roads, rail and electricity sectors.
In order to assist civil engineering consulting firms plan ahead in meeting infrastructure design deadlines, the Bureau department has introduced an on-line needs analysis tool. The questionnaire will help identify potential resource bottlenecks that may be alleviated by the introduction of an outsourcing solution.
Clients who would like to make use of this tool will need to register for the service. For more information on the Bureau outsourcing service contact Brett Pureveen on (021) 701 1850 or visit www.knowbase.co.za/bureau/.

SELECTION FILTERS
 |
The Selection Filters tool enables you to select specific elements within your drawing. You may select by entity type (line, arc text), by property (layer, color, text font) or even by text string. The dialog box remains open while you work in the program so that you have instant access to the Selection Filters function.
The filters are applied to all selection functions. If you therefore set up the filters to select only arcs, you will find that when you 'Select All', only the arcs and circles will be selected. In a similar fashion, when you select everything within a Polygon, only the arcs and circles within that polygon with be selected.
|
|
Once selected, the group of primitives is called the selection set. It is highlighted and surrounded by handles or nodes so that you may have the option to edit, move, mirror, scale, copy, rotate or even delete within the set. Note that if a layer is locked, you won't be able to select anything on it. You can see whether a layer is locked, and unlock it, in Layer Settings in the Settings Menu. Also note that if you want to select a hatch you can go to Selection Filters in the Edit Menu and click on the Hatch button. Crosses will appear on all the hatches on your drawing.
The powerful selection filters tool provides you with the control that you need for your precision designs.
