Yes, I up graded in 2012 with the support avail to upgrade to 2013. Many f my collaborators are using 2010.
I don’t plan on revisiting the issue until 2016 if I can help it.

Thanks!  Good to know.  We’re planning our budgets through 2015 and wanted to make sure if I need to plan for that upgrade or not! I’m still figuring out 2013!

yeah, I get requests to save down to ’04.

File format changes only every 3~4 yrs (00, 04, 07, 10, 13), those are the big jumps so unless you’re on subscription it’s not worth the jump.  2013 was the big change year, my guess is 2014 is not significant.

Normally companies will skip every other version to save on cost and training. I even know some firms still use AutoCAD 2008! Just wait for 2015 version… it’s just around the corner.

Thank you for the links Andrew.  Much appreciated. The info in the California requirements is great.

That’s a good point Leslie about checking on past grads of the program. I’m changing careers at 35 and had reservations about a 4-year college.  I would be hitting the bottom of the ladder at 40 and licensed at 41 or 42.  I guess the Associates seemed like the easy road to get back to an income.  I need to research a little more.

Thank you Ida.  I have noticed this also.

I brought this up a few months ago when I heard of my first one. I think it is a misnomer and misleading students, and don’t see how it could be that beneficial unless a 4-year school coordinated to accept some transfer credits. But then someone answered that one he knew was headed by a licensed LA, so that might help although it still would be…[Read more]

You are correct, Sir!
 
 

Incorporate them into the rain garden ecosystem.  How can they help with infiltration and esthetics?  Are they not part of the landscape by cultural design?

Your project is of interest, and I would love to see you share some of it after you’re done 🙂
This website is just fantastic altogether 🙂

I thought of hammocks as being temporary so that people don’t steal them : they install their own for sleeping, and fold it when they’re done. But you’re right, people might want to use them during the day…[Read more]

Yes there are many social issues to deal with when designing public space in India.You listed some important ideas.

Fruit trees are fantastic, though I have concern with placing edible plants in a garden designed to absorb heavy metals / pollutants. I am an advocate of public fruit trees, and would love to see more throughout all urban areas of…[Read more]
