- Contractor Survey: Work backlog rises in 2nd Q but may fall in the summer
- Modest construction recovery will be supported by two more years of cheap credit
  Today’s announcement by the Federal Reserve Board that its aggressively easy monetary policy will be extended for two more years should provide enough of a boost to the aggregate economy to support a modest construction spending recovery beginning this summer. If your perspective is short term, the FRB action is a wise policy move. It prompted an immediate j […]

- Crash while plotting!!! February 23, 2012

- HVAC Label Height Question February 21, 2012
  I'm running AutoCAD MEP 2012 and I am having trouble figuring out how to change the label height. If you go to the HVAC tool Palettes and choose the Annotation tab the Label tool is very helpfull, but it defaults to 6" text and the teacher wants us to use 4.5" text at 1/4"=1' scaling. How do I change this?

My problem comes with the elbows of those falls; in plan view, 3D rotate view and hide view, these elbows […]

- Flow Arrow Size February 15, 2012
  When we have a (mech) pipe, we can have autocad (mep) show us the direction of flow in that pipe and we can change the direction in that pipe. My question is can we change the size of the tiny arrow so we don't have to use the label command to bring in a label that looks like an arrow?
