Guest Post by M Veldkamp Forms are great if you know how to use them. For me, I never really bothered with Forms until quite recently. I’d like to give you some neat tricks I picked up while writing an iLogic Rule. Maybe you can recognise this situation. I wrote a couple of nice iLogic... Continue Reading →

I got a pretty serious looking Microsoft .NET Framework error this weekend when trying to run an external iLogic rule. The strange part was that I got the same error no matter what iLogic rule I tried to run, and the error even popped up if I tried to edit an iLogic rule. After a... Continue Reading →

3D CAD Packages like Autodesk Inventor can easily export out 3D PDF's for sharing and collaboration. Generally the person receiving the 3D PDF does not have a CAD system, making this a good way of sharing 3D information. The problem, is that by default Adobe Reader DC blocks 3D content in PDF's. The good news... Continue Reading →
As part of the AU London class that I recently ran, I have added some voice narrations to the videos that I recorded around wiring up the guitar. I loosely based my wiring on the information shown on Frailin pickups website: https://www.fralinpickups.com/fralin-wiring-diagrams/. Note that I am not an electrical or electronics expert, the workflow I... Continue Reading →
