It came as something of a surprise recently, I had been trawling about in some old Vectorworks files and found a set of 3D people, I think I had got from a Japanese site, I have not looked or used them in years, so I loaded them up in my Vectorworks 2010 copy, only to be directed to a Nemetschek site saying the drawing was created on an illegal copy of Vectorworks, wooo is big brother watching or what, but then I thought, no this is absolutely right, why should anyone get away with using an illegal copy and send it round to all and sundry, I want Nemetschek to earn money by sales of Vectorworks, I want the program to flourish, and prosper, if they,  and I mean Nemetschek do not protect their product, we all lose, they can’t afford to do the research and update the program, and I get stuck with a program that’s not keeping up with the industry, and as I have said time, and time again, I have invested a lot of my time and money in Vectorworks, so after some thought, I am happy, my program is checking for illegally produced files, it does not do anything else, just informs me, so I’m happy to say shame on the illegal user. If I could remember where I got the file I would send them a note saying upgrade to a legal copy.

Linkedin has been about for ages, I have been a member since it started, and now I think it has reached the point of being one of the best marketing and professional networking sites about, some of the groups are extremely active and the Architectural Technologist – CIAT group is no exception. If you’re an Architectural Technologist anywhere in the world, why not join, and participate in the comments and requests for information, its free and takes just a little time to enrol in Linkedin and then onto the groups. I am a member of quite a few groups mostly technical Construction, but the networking is really good, I also use it to keep up with old colleagues from past employers. Drop in and leave a message for me,. The CPD is more about following the requests for information and networking.
