As a frequent user of autoCAD, I just share this as there are readers of this blog/Tumblr who use autoCAD.
I always used "GROUP" functions rather than "BLOCK" functions....things which are "GROUP" then can be "UNGROUP" after manipulation, i.e. SCALE, ROTATE, etc....
for SCALE and ROTATE, rather than putting any value, try to put R (R for Reference)...it works wonders.
then to turn off layers not needed I always use "LAYOFF" rather than opening Layer Properties...
nevertheless, you'll remember all commands this by practice rather by memorising....
this is only to help.
and, in the least, any engineer,architect or whoever had the necessity to work in autoCAD, should in the least know how to to PLOT, use the "1/150xp" command, (1/150 being the scale you want, you can choose any number, i.e. 1/100, 1/300, etc)...then manipulating Plot Style Manager to get the plotting result you want.
Don't ask me for advice by email, etc., rather do it by trial and error. Nothing beats experience.
I'm basically studying this, on this weekend. Yup PLC. nothing to do with my current work. but I think Mechanical engineers should familiarize with this subject, at least for knowledge.
Breadfan, open up your mind, open up your purse,
Open up your bones, never, never gonna lose it.
Breadfan, take it all away, never give an inch,
Gotta make a mint, gotta make me a million.
Breadfan, you got it wrong, some long time friend's
Gonna lose it in the end, who's a fool.
Seagull, give it all away, stay a bird, stay a man,
Stay a ghost, stay what you wanna be.
Loser, give it all away, never stay with the winner,
With the man with all the filthy money.
Come on, keep it on the side, with a ride on a record,
On the top if you're gonna be a bad boy.
Breadfan, you got it wrong, some long time friend's
Gonna lose it in the end, who's a fool.
Seagull, give it all away, stay a bird, stay a man,
Stay a ghost, stay what you wanna be.
Breadfan, open up your mind, open up your purse,
Open up your bones, never, never gonna lose it.

Stay a ghost, stay what you wanna be.

PARADISE
My parents named me Firdaus, which is an Arabic name for Paradise.
Teachers and adults raised me up telling me Malaysia was such a great country.
It is Paradise, they said.
Yeah it is warm and hot with occasional rainy days in between. Malaysia is a fertile land. There shouldn’t be any starving cases in Malaysia.
But there was. Baling in 1974. It wasn’t reported in mainstream media, for fear of “public security”.
It’s only when I started my job in construction business that made me felt, Paradise on this living earth, is nothing but a class struggle.
The workers, built screeded floors with finishes, only to find that these majestic floors will be walked upon by the other people who are economically better.
The workers, built brickwalls upon concrete slabs, creating space to be filled by other people who are well-better off.
And these workers, some died in their jobs. I’ve seen it, I’ve heard it, I’ve lived through it.
If we learned Heat Transfer in Physics, the greater the temperature difference (delta T), then the rate of heat transfer increases.
Can we imply and conclude that the greater the income difference, then the rate of migration of people to Malaysia increases as well?
If we intend to make Malaysia to have higher income by year 2020, then shouldn’t it cause the greater economic disparity between us?
Then I realised.
If Paradise to exist, then Hell is required, isn’t it?
What is the cost incurred to make Malaysia a Paradise then, and could you afford it?
