Revit cannot open .ADSK files?????? Dodgers win??

If you love something let it go, and if it comes back than it was meant to be.

I should have remembered this sooner.

All day long I was trying to figure out why when I was using Inventor AEC exchange to take to Revit, Revit would say:

"Revit cannot open .ADSK files that contain the building site workflow."
And then it would ask me if I want to see the report and it looked perfectly fine.

So finally I contacted my Autodesk rep and he asked Rob Cohee, I owe Rob one.
Quickly he responded and said that you need to have the update for Revit

and the hotfix for Inventor
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=13105818&linkID=9242019.

If I would have simply let it go from the beginning I would have stopped myself from so much headache trying to fit in work, doctor's appointment, and a Dodgers Giants game in SF (Dodgers won btw 4-2, and did I mention I'm a Dodger fan?) all in one day. Luckily it came back and I had my answer.

So note to self, you don't know everything, none of us do, never forget to use all your resources. stop relying so much on ONLY Internet answers. I know, kind of ironic that I expect you to read this and then I'm telling you to not be afraid to ask for help elsewhere, but it's true.

I discovered soemthing interesting today when I did a Showcase demo. I brought up a watch and the arms in the watch are set at 10:10.

Apparently this is an industry standard. It appears there are a lot of rumors of there being different reasons. Timex confirmed that it is 1, and industry standard, 2, creates a happy face, 3, it allows for a good view of the company logo.

Also I read that there have been studies that showed that it made the watch more attractive some how. The standard used to be 8 something, but that didn't work becuase it looked like a frown apparently.

Crazy!

Let's get blogging

So I saw a colleague's blog and figured it was time for me to play ketchup (catch-up). I know, you can already see how geeky funny this blog is going to be.

I have a lot of information in this little mind and figured it was time I take it down to leave for others to benefit from, or even for me. JK of course, but I do want to help anybody and everybody out there looking for an answer. Hopefully I have some of them.

My name is Jorge, or as I'm calling myself for now i-Jorge (you know like ipt, iam, ipart... you get the idea if you've used Inventor). I will be blogging Inventor, tips, tricks, concerns, and anything thing else Inventor or even CAD related that I can come up with.

Happy i-trails!

To be continued, have to get back to work.
