Subject: Blueprints


I know there are many ways to fix this most of which have been mentioned.

There is a difference between a blueline print and a blueprint. The Xerox 6204 that we had would simply copy blue lines to black. I'm sure old school blueprints with white lines would have used a lot of toner.

You would call that a black print but it would also make PDFs. That was a cool printer even if black and white only. It obviously scanned too.

DBUG> Time tracking software

Hi,

I have been using Allnetic Working Time Tracker for many years ( it was originally recommended on dbug).  Unfortunately, it has begin to behave badly (auto start and stop are not reliably working).  Apparently, the software is no longer being updated, so I guess it is time to change to something else.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  I know that Dcad has a timer built in, but I need a way of tracking my time for other work activity as well.

Thanks in advance - and thanks for all the help this forum provided!

I no longer use "software" for time tracking but there sure are a lot of options out there
