So Again, It's been awhile (since 2020)

 Yes…,

It’s been a real long time since I’ve posted anything lately. I’m hoping this hiatus is very short lived, since it seems COVID is starting to take a step back or we are just going to move to an “endemic” meaning we just simply live with the fact that we are going to have to live with COVID.

 With that all being said, I’m hoping to move back onto what this site is supposed to be about so… if any of the visitors are interested, please visit my main site which is on Facebook (Fitz Digital CAD Service). Just doing a regular Google search will take you to my business site which is still active however, that mainly for business and doesn’t cover what been going on the last couple of years.

 Finally, if anyone that visits my site, or wouldn’t mind, keep in mind that I rarely do I even post, more or less ask for a favor. Since voting is still open for #au2022 class proposals, (up until April 25^th), please take a look and up vote for my classes. #AU, #MiltFitz,#Revit-to-AutoCAD-or-PDF, #Autodesk® CAD-or-BIM-software-vs-Manual, #Milt Fitz & give a👍! Thanks!

Quick Note to the Autodesk Community Moderators….

Just wanted to follow up with anyone that monitors input to the forum.

Lately there seems to be a problem with setting up the format of board posting. I actually think for me at least, this has been a problem since 2013, or basically since the community board updated the site. Prior to this “Upgrade” I really have had no major complaints, in fact from showing other CAD users here in my office how the forums worked we were able to resolve problems here in the office by a simply  “Goggling” the question, or problem, reviewing what was on the forum and resolving the issue.

Again, prior to 2013,  If the problem we had was not listed or shown, for me  there seemed to be no issues with asking or posting the question adding the screen views, or attachments.

Now, (since 2013) this seems to be a problem. When I researched this issue and found that others were having the same issue, (link xxx), I thought for sure the moderators would at worst go back to the old format, and at best “Fix” how the forum currently works.

Well… (at least for me) the issues with uploading or changing the format of how postings get listed “STILL” is not working properly.

Including this post, please look at my earlier question regarding “Realistic Rendering” (http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-2013-2014-2015-2016-2017/realistic-renderings-in-autocad-without-add-ons/m-p/6604244#M144816).

Yes… I was able to post the question, and yes, I was able to get a partial resolution, if not the whole answer in a nutshell but… the initial posting of the question had to be done in several attempts, and “Just like This Post” formatting of the questions and inclusion of attachments did not work so we had to go another route. By the way, I am posting this on my own personal blog (Tech-Info and Rants) and it should be in the right format as I intended to show.

Most likely as dgorsman (http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/253793) has pointed out to me on my other community board postings, this will look like a “Wall of Text”

Today’s alert (10/07/2016):

BTW… I’m sure this is exactly what anyone that has been “Forced” to move to a subscription plan was afraid of:

Forum post prior to 2013: (In the AutoCAD Board)

(Note: The text is in “Paragraph Format” & “Attachments are allowed, or included)

Yet another Forum post prior to 2013: (in REVIT)

(Note: Again, the text is in “Paragraph Format” & “Attachments are allowed, or included)

My Most Current Forum post: (10/05/2016)

(Note: Text is “Not in paragraph format” thus creating a “Wall of Text” & attachment were omitted)
