So How is the MacBook Pro? What on your specs on it?

Here are the resources my Outside Salesman from a local Wholesale Electrical Distributor gave me: GE Disingection Web Site Disinfection Brochure Spec Sheet GE UV Video 55 sec. GE Fast Track Video 3 min

If you'd like to see your monitor ICC Profile: in Windows, try this in Win10. Settings > System > Display > scroll down to Advanced display settings > Display adaptor properties for Display, (this page was hidden behind the Advanced display settings page on my computer, I had to minimize the front page to see it) > Color Management > Profiles associated with this device. Yours may be blank because none have been created. On a Mac: System Preferences > Display > Color

How serious are you about color matching? XRITE Pantone is the world leader in color. I use their i1Studio to Profile my monitor and printer. If you use this, you can hold your prints up to your monitor and they match. B&H sells it for $439 ICC is the International Color Consortium. In 1993, they established ICC Profiles to standardize color. They're used to calibrate everything from Computers to TVs & Television Cameras to Operating Room equipment and Textile Manufacturing equipment.. The i1Studio will create an ICC Profile for your computer monitor. You hang the device in front of the monitor and it goes through a wide range of colors, measuring each one. It then creates an ICC Profile for your monitor. The advantage to this is that the monitor is calibrated for your room's lighting and White Balance in Degrees Kelvin. You then select this Profile in your computer's video card driver. Then you profile your printer. It prints a sheet of colors, which you scan with the i1Studio. It then builds an ICC Profile for that printer and that particular paper. A new Profile must be created for each paper type. When you print, you select that paper and ICC Profile. It's possible that your monitor and printer match, BUT are you seeing the same thing the manufacturer sees? Use ICC Profiles and you will. This sounds complicated but it's simply to use. After you do it once, it's easy.

.At the present time, UV light fixtures of this type are mostly available in hospital grade. GE quit making the lamps when Obama sent all light bulb manufacturing to China. Companies are quickly developing fixtures, but right now, I don't know of any available at a reasonable price. Note: Some UV light waves are extremely dangerous to humans., even from light fixtures. I'm doing more research on the subject and am in direct contact with manufacturers reps. I'll report back when I have solid information.

Seat up / Seat Down My wife & I decided about 30 yrs ago that the Toilet Lid would always be down before leaving the bath. This has solved many issues including the dog, things accidentally dropped and appearance.

USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 use the same USB-C connector but they aren’t the same thing. Thunderbolt 3 supports faster data-transfer rates, up to 40 Gbps, versus a maximum of 5 or 10 Gbps for USB-C depending on the device. It can also transfer data in both directions, output video, charge your computer, and daisy-chain other Thunderbolt devices over a single cable.

I tried using Apple TV on 40" TV that mirrored my display for clients. It bothered me because there was a slight delay, about one second.

Chris, I've never used a Dock. I recently upgraded my 2013 Mac Pro. (Trash Can). I purchased a new internal SSD and 64GB RAM from OWC. I also purchased an external storage device from them that holds internal SSD and HD drives. I filled it with three - 2TB Samsung internal SSD and one - Western Digital 6TB HD for Time Machine. It connects using Thunderbolt 2, since that's what the Mac Pro uses. It all has worked very well.

Have you looked at Docks from OWC?

I'm following this thread because after this pandemic, I may need to visit the customer vs them coming to my office. They may be fearful of visiting. I'm already looking at a 16" MacBook Pro . B&H usually has the best price and service. 2.3GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor 32GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory 1TB SSD storage

Four lites would be easier to find. Look at Clopay Sunset 502.

Can You open an auto-saved version?

I just checked, my Mac Pro supports Metal. It's the 2013 Mac Pro (Trash Can) but I bought it in 2017 so it has video cards and processors that were upgraded from the original version made in 2013. It has two video cards with 3GB each, they run in series so the total is 6GB of VRAM. The dual cards use PCIe slots 1 & 2. AMD FirePro D500: Chipset Model: AMD FirePro D500 Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 3 GB Vendor: AMD (0x1002) Device ID: 0x679e Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-C3861J-687 VBIOS Version: 113-C3861LA-029 EFI Driver Version: 01.0D.687 Automatic Graphics Switching: Supported gMux Version: 4.0.11 [3.2.8] Metal: Supported, feature set macOS GPUFamily2 v1

Thanks for letting us know. I currently have a 2017 Mac Pro with dual 3GB video cards and I'm happy with the performance. I keep looking at the new MacBook Pro for portability and have heard negative comments here. I may buy a new Mac Book Air just a simply computer for internet and invoices and wait on the big purchase.

Anyone else using Apple Pay or a similar app to avoid touching credit card readers, keypads and stylus ? I have Apple Pay on my iPhone and Apple Watch. Hold it near the credit card reader and that's it. No swiping card, No Pin, No Signature.

Second question, how much storage space is available? >Apple icon in Upper Left Corner > About this Mac > System Report > Storage > Available

Which Mac OS Version? >Apple icon in Upper Left Corner > About this Mac > Version

aHughjass, Have you set the Preferences for Folders in CA? If you have more than one internal SSD, set the Temporary and Undo Folders to the Second SSD. The one without the OS and software program.

Can you explain more about setting up a Ram Drive in CA ? How it's done

My Layouts have no delay but I don't import many .PDF in Layouts. Others here do import them and work with Layouts open. Give this thread a day and I'm sure you'll get more answers.

I opened the .plan file and although it's a large building, the 3D was as fast as a 2,500 sq ft house. 3D Full camera came up in about a second. You mention Layout files. I never open the Layout until the drawing is done.

Post a plan file here and I'll test it on my machine.
