JTB Sheet Set Creator 3.1.0 released

JTB Sheet Set Creator 3.1.0 is released and lately we added support for adding sheet and custom properties to existing Sheet Sets with a merging functionality. It is also a command line interface available.

JTB Sheet Set Creator is an app for AutoCAD that creates new Sheet Sets and Sheets with all properties based on an Excel template.

Don't know what the Sheet Set Manager is? The Sheet Set Manager in AutoCAD is a great tool for organizing and managing large sets of drawings, particularly in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. It allows users to create a logical and structured organization of their drawings, making it easier to find and access specific drawings when needed.

One of the key benefits of the Sheet Set Manager is its ability to create a sheet index, which serves as a table of contents for the entire set of drawings. This index can be customized to include information such as the drawing title, sheet number, and revision status, making it easy to quickly identify and access the desired drawing.

In addition to the sheet index, the Sheet Set Manager also allows users to create drawing lists, which are essentially sub-sets of drawings that are organized based on specific criteria, such as discipline or phase. This can be particularly useful for project managers who need to quickly access a specific group of drawings for a particular task or for team members who need to focus on a specific aspect of the project.

Overall, the Sheet Set Manager is a valuable tool for anyone working with large sets of drawings in AutoCAD, as it helps to streamline the organization and management of these drawings, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

Download the upgrade or try it. JTB Sheet Set Creator

If you are using the Sheet Set Manager you can make batch edits of properties with JTB SSMPropEditor or make merge, purge and convert with JTB DST Tool or publish with JTB Batch Publish.

JTB FixRefs for BricsCAD

JTB FixRefs is now working on BricsCAD as well as previously supported AutoCAD.

• Convert file paths from absolute paths to relative paths and vice versa.
• Rename the reference objects.
• Detach, Unload, Reload.

Solution for Access error: There isn't enough free memory to update the display

I've got this error in Microsoft Access. There isn't enough free memory to update the display. Close unneeded programs and try again.

It happens to me when Access is opened with a custom form and accessing the computer with Microsoft Remote Desktop Android app.

I found that deleting this VBA key in the registry solved it. After a Windows or Office update I had to delete it again.

JTB FlexReport can monitor Autodesk Flex

Autodesk Flex is a new option to pay as you go for occasional product use. While you can get some usage reports from Autodesk they are limited.

When a user opens and signs into an Autodesk product included with Flex, they will be charged a daily rate per product once every 24 hours.

For example, a user opens and signs into AutoCAD from 8am-9am will be charged 7 tokens, same as a user using it the whole day. Even just starting and closing AutoCAD will cause a charge if 7 tokens (around $21). Revit will take 10 tokens.

With JTB FlexReport and JTB Process Monitor you can get additional valuable reports to identify users that just use a product a short time per day. You can get the total time the product has been running as well as the active time the user used the product. With this users using the products just a short time can be identified.

Contact us for a free trial or if you have any questions.

Example of usage of JTB FlexReport and JTB Process Monitor

JTB FlexReport and JTB Process Monitor have an open database making it possible for customers to create their own reports of app usage.

Jess Purcell at Shepley Bulfinch kindly shared her custom reports based on usage data tracked with JTB FlexReport and JTB Process Monitor:

“We’ve done a couple significant things. For one, we’re using it to track app usage on people local laptops versus on our virtual desktops to understand who is using things locally instead of virtually, and what apps are getting more use in each location.”

“And I’m going to start using it for our Affinity Suite rollout to track adoption and usage of Affinity over Adobe CS6. I’m able to see specific app usage times, and identify people who haven’t tried it, or are using it a lot and could share their experiences. I’m also able to compare directly between the relating Apps (Photo and Photoshop, Designer and Illustrator, etc)”

“I built those dashboards in PowerBI, and I’m pulled some Deltek info in as well for department and if they are an active employee.”

Free trial of JTB FlexReport and JTB Process Monitor is available.

JTB Batch Publish 3.0.2 released AutoCAD 2022 supported

JTB Batch Publish 3.0.2 has been released and now works with AutoCAD 2022.

JTB Batch Publish is an app for AutoCAD and BricsCAD that publishes sheets in Sheet Sets, layouts in other drawings, folders or drawings in DSD files to files like PDF and DWF or images like PNG. The files created are named as you want based on a naming formula that you specify. Use date fields and/or sheet properties of your choice to build up the output filename.

Batch scripting for DraftSight with JTB SmartBatch

JTB SmartBatch 5.5.0 is released made it compatible with DraftSight and before that with AutoCAD 2022.

Download here. Purchase a new license or upgrade here.

JTB SmartBatch is a batch and script utility for processing multiple DWG drawings with full control with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, DraftSight or GstarCAD.

JTB SmartBatch closes dialog boxes that might otherwise stop batch processing like for example dialog box showing missing fonts. Execute LSP or SCR files on multiple drawings. JTB SmartBatch handles crashes so the CAD batch processing continues to the end and leaves bad drawings to be corrected manually. Many purge and cleanup settings available. Useful before backups and distribution of drawings. The file's modified time stamp can be restored.

The free trial without license file is fully functional except that you can only batch process 10 drawings per session to give you the chance to confirm that the program works as expected. When you purchase you can use JTB SmartBatch with no limitations.

Multi-User to Named User Autodesk licenses update

If you have not yet traded your Multi-User to named user cloud-based licensing, see this updated post by Autodesk.

“Starting February 25, 2021, we will provide customers the option to take advantage of the multi-user trade-in offer at their first and all future renewals between August 7, 2020 and until August 7, 2023.”

You might have used JTB FlexReport for network license monitoring and with JTB Process Monitor you can keep monitoring the usage of named user licenses. If you for example had 50 Multi-user licenses and traded them for 100 named user licenses you might not want to keep paying for 100 licenses if you only have 75 licenses used on a regular basis. You probably don’t want to pay for users that rarely use the software.
