    I have a Wacom Intuous 5. I'm on a Mac with the latest OS and newest Wacom Drivers. CA11 is the only program I have trouble with. When I select anything, there is a three second delay before the cursor will move again. The problem started in version 10. Before that, the Wacom was the only device I used. I didn't even own a mouse. tablet does

    According to the system report, I have no NVME devices. The internal storage is an Apple SSD PCI. My Mac Pro has PCIe x 4 available so it would take full advantage of NVME, I'm just not sure it's worth it.

    Do you think it's worth changing to NVME on my Mac Pro. My test results on my internal SSD are 1446 MB/s Read, 887 MB/s write

    Watch this video to the end. You may need to adjust your Bios for the Motherboard.

    I built a fireplace with a TV above the mantle to match a local company's work. I blocked it and save it to the Library. Is that what you're looking for?

    I was waiting to see what others thought. Yes, my Mac Pro had a significant increase in performance, especially in 3D views.

    Brilliant. I made it 1/8" thick, 245 Lumens and 54" above finish floor. Much better, maybe a little bright but we normally add a dimmer. 245 Lumens is the manufacturers spec for high output Kichler, 125 is stand output
  9. Electromen
    Yes, I use Kichler, It's 1/2" wide and at the most, 1/8" thick

    Being an Electrician, I really like the new LED Tape. The default Lumens are 25. The two product I use are 125 Lumens for standard and 245 for high output. How do I permanently change the Lumens default for the Tape?

    Yes, I found it, I had to click Upgrade in the Digital Locker

    How do I download x11 Beta. I am an SSA member. All I see is the Trial version and an option to buy/lease/renew It is not in my digital locker. EDIT: I found it under Upgrade

    Have you tried having the Walkthrough follow a Spline? Along the Spline, add a Key Point. Click on the Key Point and adjust the speed of the camera movement to near zero. Add another Key Point and return to normal speed.

    Glad to hear the Mac Mini is working for you. When I read the specs on this new design, I thought the GPU was the biggest draw back. Your answer with the external GPU is a good solution.

    I had a MacBook Pro years ago but never used it to CA. I've had three different Mac Pros since 2006.

    Do you have both the Plan & Layout, Open at the same time? Does the Layout contain 3D views? If so, it's my experience that an increase in computer speed will not help. I've tested this with a new iMac vs my Mac Pro. To me, the answer is leave the layout closed during editing.

    It IS frustrating. Comcast is a good example. Every few years I switch from a residential to a business account and vice versa just to get a better deal. Tonight, I signed my wife up for a food vendor that I buy from regularly just to get 30% off for new customers. It worked, the only difference is her email and name, instead of mine.

    I've been using CA since 1997, I don't use technical support, don't need it. In my business, I give long term customers a better price. I don't reward ones that leave and come back.
