Knowledge Base Educational Social Responsibility
Over the last few years we have taken
a vested interest in the educational development of our secondary
and tertiary school learners. This commitment is largely contained
in our corporate social responsibility policy, which prescribes an
ongoing partnership with various educational institutions.
Currently, more than 95% of all South
African Technikons have incorporated our Civil Designer and
AllyCAD software with great success into their engineering
curriculum. Technikons in the various regions include Cape
Peninsula University of Technology, Border Technikon, Eastern Cape
Technikon, Free State Technikon, Durban Institute of Technology (DIT),
Vaal University of Technology, Technikon Western Gauteng and
Technikon South Africa.
We also have a long-term joint venture
with secondary institutions in light of the CAD component in
‘Curriculum 2006’. Our decision to help the Department of
Education with the implementation of AllyCAD in secondary schools
is part of a two-year plan to enable skilled and proficient
teachers to teach this world-class product to the next generation
of civil engineers.
We are committed to inspiring design
excellence and offer various incentives. Recognition to top
achievers is afforded in the form of the Civil Designer and
AllyCAD Certificate of Merit, Trophies and Cash prizes.
We will be featuring various
Educational leaders in the upcoming showcase stories. Be sure to
look out for them!

AllyCAD Tech Tip
How to use pen
mappings
This
Tech Tip explains how to use pen mappings.
Pen
mappings are available when printing a drawing.
Once the printer has been selected, click on the print
button to continue.
This
function allows you to use a printer such as an inkjet or laser
printer as though it were a pen plotter. It does this by allowing
you to map each colour on the screen to a different line width on
the printer. For example, you could make red lines print at 0.3
mm, green lines print at 0.7 mm etc.......
