Why AutoCAD for Mac is a bad idea By Steve Johnson 29 May 2009, 6:46 pm 29 May 2009 Apple, AutoCAD, AutoCAD for Mac There has been a fair bit of open discussion from Autodesk lately on the subject of a possible future OS X AutoCAD version. The AutoCAD Electrical toolset includes all the functionality of familiar AutoCAD software, plus a complete set of electrical design CAD features. Worldwide Sites You have been detected as being from. Despite the fact there’s snow on the ground where I live in Richmond, VA, the calendar says it’s spring. That’s important because flowers are as synonymous with spring as new releases of AutoCAD. Today Autodesk announced the release of AutoCAD 2019. ![]() While in years past the focus has been on enhancements to the general design and documentation tools AutoCAD is known for; this year is a bit different. Although there are new features to talk about inside AutoCAD 2019, that’s not the biggest news this year – One AutoCAD is. There’s a lot to be excited about with One AutoCAD, and this post will only scratch the surface of what it means to you. Stay tuned for our continued coverage of AutoCAD 2019 over the coming weeks, but for now, let me introduce you to AutoCAD 2019! Specialized Toolsets with One AutoCAD The most impactful news related to AutoCAD 2019 is undoubtedly the introduction of Specialized Toolsets. Otherwise known as One AutoCAD, specialized toolsets essentially consolidate the AutoCAD product line into a single product offering. Former vertical products such as AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD Map 3D are now Specialized Toolsets. Starting today, subscribing to AutoCAD provides not only access to AutoCAD but also seven Specialized Toolsets including: • Architecture Toolset – Formerly AutoCAD Architecture • Mechanical Toolset – Formerly AutoCAD Mechanical • Electrical Toolset – Formerly AutoCAD Electrical • MEP Toolset – Formerly AutoCAD MEP • Plant 3D Toolset – Formerly AutoCAD Plant 3D • Map 3D Toolset – Formerly AutoCAD Map 3D • Raster Design Toolset – Formerly AutoCAD Raster Design Functionally, this shift is mostly just a rebranding of AutoCAD vertical applications to Toolsets. The installation experience remains the same as installing AutoCAD plus any number of AutoCAD vertical applications. Although AutoCAD with Specialized Toolsets certainly delivers more value than ever to AutoCAD subscribers, I do wish Autodesk would have offered a unified install experience for AutoCAD and its many Toolsets (something akin to the former Autodesk Design Suite installers). Beyond the mechanics of installation, your access to AutoCAD with Specialized Toolsets is something you’ll likely want to speak to your reseller about. Although all new subscriptions to AutoCAD now include Specialized Toolsets, existing subscriptions to AutoCAD and AutoCAD verticals are unchanged at launch. Generally speaking, you can switch your AutoCAD or AutoCAD vertical subscription to AutoCAD including Specialized Toolsets at no charge for the remainder of your term. There are some exceptions to this policy that a reseller such as can help determine whether they apply to you. AutoCAD 2019 (for Windows) Beyond the introduction of One AutoCAD, we see several new features added the conventional (Windows) version of AutoCAD as well. Modernized User Interface Updated AutoCAD 2019 Interface One of the first things you’ll likely notice upon opening AutoCAD 2019 for the first time is the refreshed icons throughout the interface. This is not a significant update to the user interface, but instead a modernization of the icons used throughout the interface. The new icons move away from the heavy gradients used in previous versions, opting for a flat design language instead. Sep 2, 2018 - In this review, a long time user of VMware Fusion for Mac tries. You can do with ease using virtualization technology (the technical term. Share on Facebook Tweet this Share If it hasn’t happened already, there will come a time when you’ll wish your computer was running a different operating system. Whether you’re a competent software developer or an average user desiring an application exclusive to an OS other than the one you have, there are plenty of valid reasons why you’d want to use another OS. However, despite what you might think, you don’t necessarily have to adhere to your supposed monetary and spatial restraints, given the number of available virtual machines out there. Related content. ![]() Assuming your machine touts the capabilities, intuitive software allows you to emulate your desired OS within a different OS, allowing you to run two operating systems alongside one another on a single machine. For instance, you could run the latest version of on a Windows computer using a virtual machine. Below we’ve compiled our picks for the best virtual machine applications available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. VirtualBox is powerful, brimming with terrific features and, best of all, it’s free. It’s a lean piece of software requiring little more than a recent Intel or AMD processor that boasts seamless integration and switching capabilities within the host desktop. It’s also available on all major platforms, and features plain-text XML files for easy navigation. It remains coupled with special software packages designed to aid users with sharing folders and drives among guest and host operating systems. The software functions nearly identically regardless of the host platform, and even offers 3D virtualization, multiscreen resolutions, and laudable hardware support, among other features. ![]() It’s not the quickest or most industrious when compared to similar offerings, but then again, you often get what you pay for. Download now from: (prices vary) VMware has been in the virtual machine game since 1998, and offers three different pieces of virtualization software: VMware Workstation Pro ($250), VMware Fusion ($80), and VMware Workstation Player (free). The Workstation Pro package is ideal for professional users who desire a powerhouse virtual machine capable of simultaneously running applications on multiple guest operating systems. VMware’s Fusion, meanwhile, is a simpler application designed for home users who want to run Windows on their Mac machine. VMware Workstation Player, known until recently as VMware Player, is free for personal use, and caters to those looking to run virtual machines on their Windows or Linux systems. None of the options are particularly simple to use, but the installation is quick, integration between operating systems is seamless, and the guest software runs at near-native speeds. Best of all, they remain the most stable and reliable options out there. Download now for: ($80) Parallels When it comes to delivering the Windows experience to Mac users, Parallels Desktop 14 is, well, unparalleled. The latest incarnation of the software is compatible with the most recent version of MacOS, allowing you to emulate Windows XP, 7, 8, and 10 as a guest operating system. You can also conveniently run Mac and Windows applications side by side without rebooting, while also providing tools for quickly moving files between operating systems, launching programs directly from your Mac dock, and accessing cloud storage. The software features a simple setup wizard for beginners, as well as supports Retina displays and advanced 3D graphics. Parallels can also emulate the Linux and Solaris operating systems, but the tightest integration is when it’s coupled with the. Unfortunately, you’ll have to look elsewhere for more advanced tools and customization, but for most Mac users, Parallels is probably the best option. Download now for: The open-source QEMU, short for “Quick EMUlator,” is ideal for Linux power users who want a customizable virtual machine. Through a process involving dynamic binary translation, QEMU can emulate an array of hardware and software types, while skirting host administrative privileges to run guest operating systems. The software executes the guest code directly on the host machine, thus attaining near-native performance. Given the software’s aforementioned ability to run without administrative privileges, it’s perfectly suited for creating pocket-sized virtual machines that conveniently fit on a portable flash drive. You’ll need to be comfortable with the Command Prompt to get this up and running, but the open source nature of the project makes it one of the most regularly updated choices out there. Download now for: Apple’s Boot Camp isn’t a virtual machine in any sense of the word, but it’s worth a mention given users researching virtual machines are often curious about it. The software, which is included on all Macs, allows users to dual boot both MacOS and Windows. Instead of emulating an operating system, Boot Camp helps you set up a partition on the hard drive so you can install the Windows operating system of your choice. How to write a USB stick with macOS. Install or upgrade Ubuntu, even on a Mac; Test out the Ubuntu desktop experience without touching your PC. Dec 18, 2018 - You don't need a bootable installer to install macOS, but it can be useful. After downloading the installer, connect the USB flash drive or other volume. Least 12GB of available storage and is formatted as Mac OS Extended. It's no surprise that PCs and Macs do not work well with each other, due to differences between the two operating systems (Windows vs macOS). One main difference is file system. By default, Macs are with HFS+ (since 2017 there's new Apple File System,, optimized for flash storage), while PCs are with NTFS. If you have a USB drive, and you plan to use it on both a Mac and PC, things can get a bit tricky here. What do I mean? If your disk was initially formatted to NTFS on a PC (or HFS+ on a Mac), most likely you'll suffer limitations, for example, the data on your drive can't be read or written on one of your computers. Fortunately, there is a file system (actually two, I'll explain) that you can format your flash drive in order to be fully compatible with Mac and PC. In other words, you can access the drive and transfer data without any hassles. That file system is — exFAT. Note that there is another file system called FAT32 that pretty much does the same thing but with one major flaw. See the table below for more info. Compatible with macOS? Compatible with Windows? File size Max. Partition size HFS+ Yes No No limit No limit NTFS Partially Yes No limit No limit FAT32 Yes Yes 4GB 8GB exFAT Yes Yes No limit No limit As you can see, exFAT is the only file system that works with all versions of Windows and macOS and does not have any max file-size or partition-size limits. Therefore, it's perfect for a USB flash drive or external disk especially you need to save files more than 4GB in size. You should go ahead and format your storage drive with exFAT instead of FAT32, assuming that all devices you want to use the drive support exFAT. You may notice that in NTFS is marked 'Partially' under the Compatible with macOS column. This is because an NTFS-based drive can be read by Macs but you can't write data to the drive. Now that you've learned exFAT is the ideal file system to go. How to know what current file system your flash drive is with, and how to format it to exFAT? Read on for step by step instructions. How to Check a USB Drive's File System? First of all, plug your flash drive into the USB port on your computer. Make sure your device can be detected and recognized. ![]() I'm here to use a 32GB Lexar USB key as an example. If you are on a Mac. Once the Lexar disk shows up on the desktop, right click on the drive icon and select 'Get Info'. How to Format Your USB Flash Drive to exFAT? Important: make sure you have at least one backup of all the data stored on the device before you proceed. Because the process of reformatting a disk drive will very likely erase all content and make recovery impossible. See for more information. Also, since I don't know whether you are on a PC or Mac to perform this operation. I'm here to break down this guide into two parts. The first part is for Mac users, the second part is for PC users (Windows 10 based). In no particular order. Part 1: Formatting USB Drive on Mac Please note: since OS X 10.11 El Capitan (the latest is 10.13 High Sierra), Apple made a few changes to Disk Utility (see details from ). ![]() The app now has a new user interface that looks slightly different on Yosemite or earlier OS X versions. Step 1: Open Disk Utility. The quickest way is search on Spotlight and click the result under 'TOP HIT'. Windows Windows allows you to set boot-up and shutdown times through. Scheduled tasks can run the “shutdown” command,. You could also run other commands to put the computer to sleep or hibernate it. Here are the commands you’ll need: • Shut Down: shutdown.exe -s -t 00 • Hibernate: rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState • Sleep: rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0 Through the magic of the task scheduler, you can even have Windows wait until you’re no longer using your computer to shut it down. It won’t automatically shut down on you while you’re using it if you stay up a bit late one night. You can also. Assuming your computer is sleeping, and not fully shut down — you can put it to sleep yourself or use a scheduled task that puts it to sleep — this schedueld task when wake your computer up. Mac OS X This option is available in the System Preferences window on a Mac. Click the Apple menu, select System Preferences, and then click the Energy Saver icon in the System Preferences window. Click the “Schedule” button at the bottom of the Energy Saver preferences and use the options here to schedule a startup or wake time for your Mac. You can also schedule a Sleep, Restart, or Shut Down time and choose which day of the week your scheduled times are used for — weekdays, weekends, a specific day, or all days of the week. If you have a MacBook, the scheduled startup will only occur when it’s plugged in. This prevents battery drain and ensures your laptop won’t decide to boot up when it’s sitting in a bag somewhere. Linux RELATED:. This command puts your computer to sleep, hibernates it, or shuts it down while specifying a time it should wake up again. You could run the appropriate rtcwake command when you go to bed, and it will automatically boot back up at your scheduled time. The rtcwake command can also be used just to schedule a startup time, but not to put your computer to sleep immediately. Put it to sleep or shut it down on your own schedule and it will wake up when you decide it should. To fully automate this, you could that run the rtcwake command at a specific time. Wake-on-LAN All types of computers can accept. Support for Wake-on-LAN is baked into a computer at the BIOS or UEFI firmware level, below the operating system itself. When using Wake-on-LAN, a computer that’s shut down or asleep continues providing power to its network interface. This is usually a wired Ethernet connection, but you can also set a computer to accept Wake-on-LAN packets sent over Wi-Fi. When it receives an appropriately crafted packet, it will wake the computer back up again. This option is generally enabled by default on desktop computers, but it may not be enabled on laptop computers to save battery power — especially not on the Wi-Fi interface. You’ll have to ensure Wake-on-LAN is enabled on your computer first and try it out. Once you have Wake-on-LAN working, you could set up a device to send Wake-on-LAN packets to other devices on a schedule. For example, we’ve covered, allowing you to wake any device from your router and configure all the wake times in one place. By default, most computers will automatically put themselves to sleep or hibernate after a certain amount of time when they’re not being used. If you want your computer to stay running even when you’re not there, change its settings so it won’t automatically sleep or hibernate. Whatever I was playing would continue to play after my iPad mini went to sleep. So I don't like the fact that I have to set my sleep mode to never is kind of stupid. I know these posts are old but I'm just trying to find out if there is something else I can do or set. During Power Nap, your Mac leaves its displays and other hardware that isn't needed for these tasks powered down to save energy. After it's finished, your Mac automatically goes back to sleep to save energy. If you don't want your Mac to wake up on its own to perform these tasks, deselect this option. For all things iPad.

There's no official way to get iMessages on a non-iOS device like an Android smartphone, but a new Android app aims to provide a workaround, at least temporarily. Is designed to allow you to get iMessages on an Android device, but for it to work, a Mac is required. WeMessage uses a weServer app on a Mac, which takes iMessages that are delivered to a Mac and forwards them to an Android smartphone or tablet. As described by the developer on reddit, the weServer app acts as a bridge between a Mac and an Android device, using Accessibility features to tap into Apple's Messages app for the Mac. WeMessage works by using Apple's developer tools that hook into the Messages app, as well as by turning on Accessibility features that will perform the message sending. There was zero reverse engineering involved in the creation of this app, so all messages being sent are legitimate. Discuss: How to text from PC and Mac using Android Messages -- available to all now Sign in to comment. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic. In addition, I believe this implementation is fair, as you still need to have an Apple device to use iMessage, but it is merely being extended to all devices.According to the developer, all iMessage features are supported, including group chats, attachments, notifications, Do Not Disturb, content blocking, and more, with notifications enabled by sending messages to the Google Firebase platform. Unfortunately, while this appears to be a solid attempt at routing iMessages to an Android device based on reddit comments, this is not an app that's likely to last. Similar apps and methods of forwarding iMessages to Android devices have popped up in the past, but have been shut down by Apple. It's likely Apple will require the developer to shutter the app, and it may soon be removed from the Google Play Store, but in the meantime, it's available for any Android users who also have a Mac and want to experiment with iMessage. There have been rumors suggesting Apple has for Android devices, and Apple even reportedly of what such an app might look like, but there has not been concrete evidence that an Android iMessage app has ever been in the works. Apple execs are said to believe that iMessage, as a ',' helps to spur iPhone, iPad, and Mac sales, suggesting iMessage is not likely to expand beyond Apple's devices anytime soon. The developer behind weMessage was originally charging $2.99, but it's now for free. Those of us who have been messaging for 20 years will probably notice that Apple is in the place AOL was back in the 90s. That is, AOL had AOL Instant Messenger (AIM - just recently shutdown) which was THE standard for instant messaging for both AOL users and non-users alike. Competitors came around (Yahoo, MSN Messenger, etc.) and everyone complained that AIM wasn't open to integration. You had to run each messenger as a separate app but eventually, some of the smaller players integrated their's with each other. AOL did not and there was no API for 3rd parties to use in a universal communicator. Other communicators were better, feature-wise, but most of the world was using AIM. When asked 'why not?' They had some lame excuse like 'complexity.' (translation - what do WE get out of it?) Only after AOL started losing marketshare in droves did they begin to allow others to integrate. By then, anyone with an @aol.com address was the laughing stock of the Internet and the biggest use was for an aggregator like Trillian, Pidgin, etc. To allow messages to Grandma who still swore AOL = Internet. Right now, Apple is in the 'What do WE get out of it?' ![]() Android Messages for Web is now fully deployed - make sure you have the latest Messages client, and then head over to to try it out!— Justin Uberti (@juberti) To use the feature you'll need the latest version of the Android Messages app, which you should be able to. Then do the following: • On your computer, go to • Then on your phone, open the Android Messages app • In Messages, tap the More options menu (the one with three dots) and select Messages for web • Use your phone to scan the QR code on your computer Follow these instructions. Screenshot by Gordon Gottsegen/CNET The ability to send and receive texts on your Android phone and computer has been long overdue. IMessages has supported this feature for a few years, but since you need an () and Mac, not everyone could use the feature. Now that Android's messaging platform supports this, an awful lot more people can start texting without their. Google also announced four other new features in Messages: • Integrated GIF support so you can search for and send GIFs in the Messages app • Smart reply, which suggests text or emoji responses to incoming texts • Preview links within conversations • Easy copy and pasting for passwords and verification codes sent through texts Originally published June 18.

Using Python on a Macintosh Author: Bob Savage Python on a Macintosh running Mac OS X is in principle very similar to Python on any other Unix platform, but there are a number of additional features such as the IDE and the Package Manager that are worth pointing out. The Mac-specific modules are documented in. Python on Mac OS 9 or earlier can be quite different from Python on Unix or Windows, but is beyond the scope of this manual, as that platform is no longer supported, starting with Python 2.4. See for installers for the latest 2.3 release for Mac OS 9 and related documentation. Getting and Installing MacPython Mac OS X 10.8 comes with Python 2.7 pre-installed by Apple. If you wish, you are invited to install the most recent version of Python from the Python website (). A current “universal binary” build of Python, which runs natively on the Mac’s new Intel and legacy PPC CPU’s, is available there. What you get after installing is a number of things: • A MacPython 2.7 folder in your Applications folder. In here you find IDLE, the development environment that is a standard part of official Python distributions; PythonLauncher, which handles double-clicking Python scripts from the Finder; and the “Build Applet” tool, which allows you to package Python scripts as standalone applications on your system. • A framework /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework, which includes the Python executable and libraries. The installer adds this location to your shell path. To uninstall MacPython, you can simply remove these three things. A symlink to the Python executable is placed in /usr/local/bin/. The Apple-provided build of Python is installed in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /usr/bin/python, respectively. You should never modify or delete these, as they are Apple-controlled and are used by Apple- or third-party software. Remember that if you choose to install a newer Python version from python.org, you will have two different but functional Python installations on your computer, so it will be important that your paths and usages are consistent with what you want to do. IDLE includes a help menu that allows you to access Python documentation. If you are completely new to Python you should start reading the tutorial introduction in that document. If you are familiar with Python on other Unix platforms you should read the section on running Python scripts from the Unix shell. How to run a Python script Your best way to get started with Python on Mac OS X is through the IDLE integrated development environment, see section and use the Help menu when the IDE is running. If you want to run Python scripts from the Terminal window command line or from the Finder you first need an editor to create your script. Mac OS X comes with a number of standard Unix command line editors, vim and emacs among them. If you want a more Mac-like editor, BBEdit or TextWrangler from Bare Bones Software (see ) are good choices, as is TextMate (see ). Other editors include Gvim () and Aquamacs (). To run your script from the Terminal window you must make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your shell search path. To run your script from the Finder you have two options: • Drag it to PythonLauncher • Select PythonLauncher as the default application to open your script (or any.py script) through the finder Info window and double-click it. PythonLauncher has various preferences to control how your script is launched. Option-dragging allows you to change these for one invocation, or use its Preferences menu to change things globally. GUI Programming on the Mac There are several options for building GUI applications on the Mac with Python. PyObjC is a Python binding to Apple’s Objective-C/Cocoa framework, which is the foundation of most modern Mac development. Information on PyObjC is available from. The standard Python GUI toolkit is, based on the cross-platform Tk toolkit (). ![]() An Aqua-native version of Tk is bundled with OS X by Apple, and the latest version can be downloaded and installed from; it can also be built from source. WxPython is another popular cross-platform GUI toolkit that runs natively on Mac OS X. Packages and documentation are available from. PyQt is another popular cross-platform GUI toolkit that runs natively on Mac OS X. More information can be found at.

Do you have a child heading off to college soon? As you know from high school, today’s student needs a computer for just about everything these days. But Apple’s Mac line is sufficiently broad that it might be hard to decide which machine is most appropriate for a college-bound student. Here’s our advice. First, don’t buy anything without first checking with the college. Many college departments have specific requirements based on the software that students have to use in their classes. Generally, these revolve around processor type, amount of RAM, and storage space. Luckily, most current Macs should meet the requirements. Don’t worry If your child’s college department requires the use of Windows because all Macs can run Windows with no problems, either by restarting in Apple’s or by using virtualization software like. With a Mac, you get the best of both worlds! Colleges often specify—and students usually prefer—laptops instead of desktop machines. Although the iMac is a great machine with a gorgeous screen, it’s too big and unwieldy for the transient lifestyle of the typical college student. A laptop is much easier to pack during moves, and it can be taken out and about on campus every day. A student who’s accustomed to taking notes on an iPad Pro with a Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil might be able to use that along with a desktop Mac like an iMac or a Mac mini, but most people should focus on Apple’s laptops. Choosing from Apple’s laptop line—the, MacBook Air, and —requires determining the relative importance of price, performance, and portability. • If portability is paramount, look at the MacBook. The MacBook is Apple’s smallest and lightest laptop, and it has a great Retina display. Unfortunately, it’s also the least powerful and has only a single USB-C port for charging and connection to peripherals. It costs between $1300 and $2000. • If those prices are out of your budget, consider the MacBook Air. It lacks a Retina display and weighs almost a pound more than the MacBook—it’s still less than 3 pounds!—but it has a beefier processor, lots more ports (including Apple’s much-beloved MagSafe 2 power jack), and a lower price. Expect to pay between $1000 and $1600. • For better performance, look to the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which is a touch smaller than the MacBook Air and weighs just a bit more, but features much more powerful dual-core processors, includes a gorgeous Retina display, and provides Thunderbolt 3 ports for charging and expansion. You can save a few hundred dollars by passing on Apple’s snazzy Touch Bar, which provides additional interface controls and a Touch ID fingerprint unlock button. The price of the 13-inch MacBook Pro ranges between $1300 and $3000, though it’s easy to keep it below $2500. • The ultimate performance comes from the 15-inch MacBook Pro, which has quad-core processors and a much larger Retina screen, along with four Thunderbolt 3 ports for charging and expansion. ![]() It’s still not huge, but at 4 pounds is the heaviest of Apple’s laptops. It’s also the most expensive, with prices ranging from $2400 to over $4000 for a fully tricked-out machine., but here’s the quick summary. Go with the MacBook if size and weight are more important than speed. For maximum performance, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is the top of the line but could be heavy to lug around every day. You could compromise with the MacBook Air, which is quicker than the MacBook and smaller than the 15-inch MacBook Pro, but the sweet spot goes to the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which provides the best overall combination of price, performance, and portability. Opens the Edit Pen Set dialog box, where you can edit the ePlot (optimized for plotting) plotter configuration (PC3) file pen set and patterns. You must have 255 Virtual Pens selected in the Plotter Configuration Editor, Vector Graphics node, Color Depth area to use this option. When 255 Virtual Pens is selected, the settings in the plot style table associated with the drawing are ignored except the virtual pen number and plot style linetype. You can edit the settings for these virtual pens in the Edit Pen Set dialog box. AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application. The 2014 release marked the fourth consecutive year of AutoCAD for Mac. The AutoCAD command set is localized as a part of the software localization. 360 includes new features such as a 'Smart Pen' mode and linking to. Right now, most offices print out a set of plans, roll them up, carry them into the field, mark them up with red pens, and then bring them back to the office to review the changes with someone else who was not in the field—only for that second person to open the CAD file and make changes. These settings are then saved to the PC3 file that you are editing. NoteIf you want to use pen sets from Buzzsaw, use the Buzzsaw DWF.ctb plot style table. However, when you want to edit your pen set, edit the pen set stored in the DWF PC3 file, not the Buzzsaw DWF.ctb plot style table. In the Edit Pen Set dialog box, you can change pen weights (width), patterns, shapes, and effects by right-clicking a field in the dialog box to display a menu of common settings. From the menu, you can copy settings to other pens or select Properties to display the Pen Properties dialog box. Unchecked pens (indicated by a red strike-through line) in the Edit Pen Set dialog box will be ignored when you apply settings to the entire pen set. Specifies that an alternate fill will be used for polygons instead of a winding fill. Use only if the fill pattern in a polygon does not appear to print correctly for a vector file. The modes differ only in cases where a complex, overlapping polygon must be filled (for example, a five-sided polygon that forms a five-pointed star with a pentagon in the center). In such cases, alternate mode fills every other enclosed region within the polygon (such as the points of the star). Winding mode fills all regions (such as the points and the pentagon). Use Error Diffusion for DWF Rasters. Are you upgrading your computer? Usually your computer works fine until 3 years. After that period, we need to upgrade it because it’s getting slow.
