Thank you Egg and Soquili.

I'm working a half-day here is San Jose, CA, writing an incredibly technical tutorial on the use of a piece of software used to verify electronic designs.

While the mobius strip is two-dimensional, you can also play in three dimensions. See Cliff Stoll's web site http://www.kleinbottle.com/ and enjoy!

Ross? You out there?

I ran into a mention on ArsTechnica of a free version of Google SketchUp. Sure enough, I followed the link and downloaded a free version. No registration; no personal...

Zee, at home I use Canon inkjet printers (i850 nad ip5000) because they are exceptionaly fast, print 2-sided, and have excellent color. If I were printing a lot of photographs, I'd consider Epson and...

Hi Ed,

Check out CDMenuPro. It's available in personal as well as commercial versions and does everything you need. I have created quick and dirty CD menu front ends using their templates and...

If you are comfortable with hand editing the file, open an X3D file with a pure text editor. In the code snippet below, the Lighting[n]Theta and Lighting[n]Phi element values define the position of...

Rich, check to see if your Major Spacing and Number of Subdivisions values are the same. If so, lower Number of Subdivisions. In my example, I'd lower it to 10 or 5.

RAMWolf,

Yup, I not only got my personal copy over here in Livermore, but a second copy at work in Sunnyvale. Both were CDs only, not the boxed set, so I can't confirm that the bonus CDs will...

Mine arrived in Livermore, CA today.

Thanks Rubem,

I have to modify a lot of screen captures and your Tahoma font looks like it'll make things a lot better and easier.

Well, this just gets more interesting!

I just logged on to report that, after upgrading my ATI Radeon video driver, my clear 1x1 GIF problem is curred. But here Charles is reporting that XaraX1...

I was using the clear 1x1 GIF as a spacer, in the manner Daniel explained, not as a web bug which is a version of JohnR's example.

Guess something in my system/installation is unique. If I ever...

Charles,

The Xara online purchasing system won't let me upgrade! I submitted my Xara X serial number and immediately received an email confirming my username and password. But, they are the same...

When I opened X Prime it "felt" like snap to grid (enabled) was not working. I zoomed way in and found it was. Daniel correctly pointed out exactly why--at least in my case. Changing number of...

Antony,

I have the same help bug symptom. I installed the new CHM file and end up with the same situation reported by Soquili--that is, help opens correctly but the bug is still evident when I try...

Mags,

I wanted to recreate, just as an experiment, one of the old '60s San Francisco style rock concert posters. Bellbottm.ttf also served that project well.

It's bellbottom.ttf.
