Autodesk AutoCAD 2013 [x86/x64] with Keygen Full

AutoCAD ® is a global leader in solutions for the 2D-and 3D-design. As more graphic, 3D modeling allows you to speed up the design work and documentation, share models and develop new ideas. For thousands of AutoCAD add-ons are available that can satisfy the needs of a wide range of clients. It's time to design a new one - time AutoCAD.
The new features of AutoCAD 2013 is called a true technological breakthrough, which will please many millions of users of this software. AutoCAD 2013 has a parameter, and now any changes between objects are supported by user interaction. This significantly reduces the time to make changes to projects. The emergence of tools to work with arbitrary shapes became possible to create and analyze the most complex three-dimensional objects. In addition, 3D printing is now supported, so it's easier to get prototypes and physical prototypes. Due to numerous requests from members of the International Community Autodesk (AUGI) in AutoCAD 2013 improved with the format of PDF. PDF files can be used as a substrate, as well as improved quality of imports into PDF. This will facilitate data exchange between all interested parties in
the project.

Key features:
AutoCAD ® 2013 allows you to solve the most complex design problems. Means to create arbitrary shapes are modeled by a variety of body and surface design verification time is greatly reduced; parametric drawings help to keep on hand all the necessary information. Project ideas can be visualized in PDF, as well as in the mock exercise, obtained by 3D printing. Even if no ideas are not turned into reality so quickly.

Reduce time-consuming due to the parametric drawings. Parametric designs can significantly reduce the time of inspection projects. There is a possibility of defining relationships between objects - for example, parallel lines will automatically remain parallel and concentric circles always have a common center.
Artistic freedom: to work with arbitrary shapes. Now you can translate any design ideas, giving free rein to creative thought. To create complex shapes simply move the face, edges and vertices.

Improved support for PDF. Transfer and re-use data were surprisingly comfortable and easy thanks to an improved support of PDF. Was less than the size of the published files, added support of TrueType. New import and use as substrates allow you to add PDF-files directly in the drawings AutoCAD.

3D printing of models of AutoCAD. You can not just visualize projects, but also make them a reality. Physical models of the projects created by the withdrawal of a 3D printer (your own or belonging to a specialized company that provides 3D printing services).

Ease of creating and editing dynamic blocks. Introduced improvements have helped to simplify the creation and editing dynamic blocks. With an improved display and selection of objects, tools to work with dynamic blocks significantly reduce the time required to produce documentation.

Facebook Messenger for Windows 7 is now Officialy Available


Facebook Messenger for Windows
The fact that Facebook had a dedicated messaging app up its sleeve for Windows will go down as one of the worst kept secrets in the history of techdom. In fact, after the client leaked back in December, Zuck and Co. unceremoniously dumped the executable on the web, opened up the help page and did so without an ounce of fanfare. Now the program is getting a proper launch, complete with a landing page and a press release (which you'll find at the source). There's not much here to shock or surprise -- Messenger for Windows allows you to chat with your Facebook friends in a simple tabbed interface, check your news feed and delivers notifications to your desktop.

Warning: Ad-Watch + Installing IE7


As I had written in "My IE7 Experience", I was first prompted to download IE7 on 1 November. When the download started, I immediately too steps to prepare for installation. One such step involved using WinPatrol to disable Lavasoft's real-time monitor, Ad-Watch. This way I did not need to change any of the Ad-Watch settings with the restart I knew to expect with the IE7 installation.
Due most likely to my dial-connection, I did not get prompted for the actual installation of IE7 until three weeks later. As a result, I had forgotten that Ad-Watch was disabled until today when I wanted to check the GUI (Graphic User Interface) to get the correct language to provide help for someone. I easily re-enabled Ad-Watch through WinPatrol and then was immediately prompted with a number of registry changes to allow or disallow.

Included among the changes were the registry updates made when installing IE7. Fortunately, I was paying attention and allowed the changes. Had I not done that, I would definitely have had to re-install IE7 and could likely have had problems with the .lnk and .exe extensions faced by so many Ad-Watch users since Ad-Aware SE was released in August 2004.
As stated in the Lavasoft manual:
"You can lock the startup sections of your registry, block possible and actual browser hijack attempts, block suspicious processes, lock executable file associations, Block malicious cookies, block Pop-ups, and uses the all new CSI technology to protect you from unknown variants as well. Even if Ad-Watch is turned off and something DOES install onto your system, it will recognize it and will kill the process as soon as it has seen it when turned back on." {emphasis added}
In fact, Ad-Watch even prompted me to allow the registry change for itself!


This is the reason why I always recommend having "Automatic" turned off with Ad-Watch. Part of responsible computing is knowing what is happening on your computer.

Goodbye Windows 2000


An interesting report by Bill Allin posted by Clif in today's edition of "Clif Notes". Mr. Allin's source in Microsoft has heard recently that Windows 2000 (W2K) is "on the chopping block". In part, the letter reads:
"MS Mole reports from a Microsoft meeting this week that the company has no plan to support the installation of Internet Explorer 7 with Windows 2000 or any earlier version of Windows. In his words, "Microsoft is trying to make Windows 2000 go away" without saying as much publicly. The MS screw is being steadily tightened so that everyone who uses Windows will have to use an up-to-date version because new Microsoft products will not run on earlier platforms."
I guess this should not be a surprise to anyone with both Windows Defender and IE7 not supported in W2K. Taking this thought a step further, Mainstream support for W2K ended 30 June 2005. Note, that extended support is still listed on the Microsoft Life Support page as 13 July 2010. I expect that Microsoft is hoping that without the advantage of IE7 and Windows Defender, there will be the added incentive to upgrade.

Apple Updates for Mac OS X

Brian Krebs reported that 31 flaws were patched in by Apple in the update released yesterday. Included in the updates was a patch for a vulnerability in eMac, iBook, iMac, PowerBook G3, PowerBook G4, and Power Mac G4 systems equipped with an original AirPort card. The vulnerability is with built-in wireless cards that cana be exploited by attackers to install malicious software.
"Other fixes released today mend easily exploitable conditions, such as bugs that attackers could use to install malicious code just by convincing the user to visit a specially crafted site or font files. Among the many other updates included in this bundle are fixes for ClamAV (an antivirus program) for Mac OS X Server, as well as those to mend a slew of problems with the OS X utility used to unzip compressed files."

New WGA Tool for Windows XP


The Windows Genuine Advantage Team announced a new WGA Notifications Tool for Windows XP.
"In addition to updated anti-piracy capabilities, this update incorporates and improved user installation and validation experience. First there is a new installation wizard (below) that provides more context and information on how the program works. Second the installation wizard offers the configuration of an autoupdate feature so as we release new versions of WGA Notifications that can detect the most current forms of counterfeiting that information can be updated automatically. The wizard also includes immediate results, and improved information for people who's systems don't pass genuine validation."
This is an "opt-in" update that will initially be distributed only to systems running four known compromised product keys. According to the announcement, Microsoft plans to update the Windows XP WGA Notifications tool every 90-120 days.
Perhaps a helpful addition is the addition of a new result category which lets users know if the validation result was indeterminate. Resources are provided to troubleshoot the problem, hopefully with contact information for people with legitimate licensed versions of the operating system.

Need Windows Vista Tips?


After finding a tip on IE7 that Sandi Hardmeier credited to Tweak Vista, I added the site to my RSS feed list. Although the site is still self-defined as being in "beta", the tips are continuing to add up every day.

Zune or iPod; iPod or Zune?


The question of the day appears to be which of the two portable devices to add to the Holiday Wish List -- the new Microsoft Zune or Apple's iPod. There is an intresting contrast of opinions between two ZD Net Bloggers, Matthew Miller and Adrian Kingsley-Hughes.
In 3 weeks later and the Zune is better than the iPod, Matthew Miller describes his reasons for prefering Zune, which include the unlimited music subscription, FM reception and the ability to watch video. The durability and scratch resistance of Zune are also features Mr. Miller prefers.
Conversely, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes explains Why there’s an iPod nano on my wish list - and not a Zune! Mr. Kingsley-Hughes places the "blame" in several directions on why he has finally broken down and added an iPod to his wish list. The apparent support of his iPod readers is certainly one reason. Another reason is Zune's compatibility with Audible.com audio books.
If you are in the market for either, you should find both authors reviews worth considering. The things that make the Zune more attractive to Mr. Miller sound like a good fit for me also. Although, in the event I am on your Christmas list, either one would likely suit me just fine.

What's New in Vista Bookmarks?

I have been doing more bookmark "remodeling", including many new additions. As much as I would like the authors to know I have created links to their work as well as provide appropriate "hat tips", I was making so many changes that I will apologize up front if I missed anyone. It is not intentional.
Vista Security Features
The Vista Security Features bookmarks are now separated in a more comprehensive manner. (Hat tip to Donna's post which served as inspiration for the new format.) In addition to quite a few Microsoft links, the following non-Microsoft additions were included:
Drivers, Hardware and Software

Office 2007 and More
  • An excellent collection that I discovered is the Office UI Bible by Microsoft MVP Patrick Schmid. It is essentially the equivalent of Windows Vista Bookmarks, but strictly for Office. It is a compilation of the MSDN blog posts by Jensen Harris, Program Manager of the Office UI Team.

Mozilla Firefox Security Update


Mozilla updated both supported versions of Firefox to 2.0.0.3 and 1.5.0.11, respectively, with a security and stability update. See Security Advisory 2007-11.

It is strongly recommended by Mozilla that the update be installed as soon as possible. If you have turned off the update notification, you can manually "check for updates" from the Help menu.

Note: Firefox 1.5.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until April 24, 2007. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2.

Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update



See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 932246

The March 2007 Windows Vista Application Compatibility Update is a package of software updates that address common application compatibility issues in Windows Vista. When you try to install and run certain legacy games or applications in Windows Vista, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
  • The game, the application, or the firmware may not be installed correctly.
  • The game, the application, or the firmware may cause system instability.
  • The primary functions of the game, the application, or the firmware may not work correctly
This update is cumulative and supersedes update 929427. (This update also includes fixes that are contained in update 929427.) In addition to the fixes that are contained in update 929427, this update improves support in Windows Vista for the following games, applications, and firmware:
Lenovo Presentation Director 1.0.0.1
ACDSee 8
Trend Micro Internet Security 2006 (PC-cillin) 14.0 – 14.59
Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 (PC-cillin) 15.0 – 15.19
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Administration Tools Pack
RealNetworks RealPlayer 6.0.12
AOL Safety and Security Center 2.5.4.1
Toshiba Tecra M7 1.70

Note After you install this update, a CD device or a DVD device may not work correctly. If you select the device in Device Manager and then view the properties for the device, you may receive the following error message:
The software for this device has been blocked from starting because it is known to have problems with Windows. Contact the hardware vendor for a new driver. (Code 48)
This problem occurs because a legacy application may install drivers that are incompatible with Windows Vista.

  • 314060You can no longer access the CD drive or the DVD drive, or you receive an error message after you remove a CD recording program or a DVD recording program in Windows XP: "error code 31"

Kodak EasyShare Printers Vista and Mac Compatible


I saw a demonstration of the Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One Printer yesterday and, let me tell you, it is sweet! For a home or small business printer it is hard to beat $199.99 to get 32 ppm (pages per minute) for black and 22 for color prints. But that isn't all.
The printer has a built in tray for 4 X 6 inch prints, a high-definition scanner which can, of course, be used as a copier. For the super-geeks, the Kodak EasyShare 5300 is also BLUETOOTH® Wireless Technology-enabled. With memory card slots and a 3-inch color LCD display for editing/cropping digital images at the printer you're almost there.
That isn't all. The price for ink cartridges is unbeatable. The color ink cartridge is only $14.99, black ink cartridge $9.99 or a package deal of $21.99 for both black and color ink cartridges!
I can only speculate that Kodak is not leveraging the fact that the EasyShare printers are compatible across all operating system platforms because the printers are flying off the shelves faster than they can be made. That is right -- ALL platforms, including the Mac and Windows Vista.
But, I am not finished yet. Behind the fast printing, flexibile, multi-function printers is something else -- something that I am extremely proud of -- Kodak technology created by Kodak people. There are not nearly as many of *us* left as in years past, but just look at what *we* are doing to provide an economical means for preserving your every Kodak Moment!
If you think I may be biased (and I am), take a look at this testimonial at epinons by someone with no connection to Kodak, This is a must buy let me explain.

Vista Bookmarks Updates Plus Another Remodel


Internet Explorer 7
After congratulating Robert McLaws on his site, Windows-Now, being added as a Vista Featured Community, I moved on to reading his post, Can't Save Favorites in Vista's IE7? I added a bookmark to the solution.
Sidebar:
Although Robert credits Windows MVP Jimmy Brush, the solution and explanation Robert provides address the needs of my target community.

Features and Tutorials
While at WindowsNow, I located a working link to HOW-TO: Switch to Windows Vista 64-bit painlessly by Kristan Kenney. I had read a leader to his tutorial at another site, but the link didn't work. I was so happy to finally have Kristan's tutorial that I (finally) completed the revision of the Features and Tutorials bookmark page. I hadn't been happy with the presentation. It seems much easier to locate bookmarks on that page now.

Defrag Windows Vista Faster


Features and Tutorials

The Unofficial Windows Vista Weblog is a good source of information. The site is recognized by Microsoft as a Windows Vista Community Blog and has been included in my feed list for a while.

Today I found a great tutorial via Milo at Windows Vista Weblog from VistaRewired for speeding up the Windows Vista Defrag tool and added it to the growing list of Vista Features and Tutorials.
Note: Many people are of the opinion that it is unnecessary to defrag NTFS systems. Granted, unlike the earlier Windows operating systems, NTFS systems do not require frequent defraging. However, if you notice the system getting a bit "sluggish", particularly after heavy add/remove activities, running the defrag tool or the tools in the VistaRewired tutorial may help return the computer to its earlier zippy state.

Windows Vista BitLocker Tip


Vista Security Features

It seems that every time I refresh a page or take "one last look at the feed list", I find something new to bookmark or a page that needs a bit of sprucing. This time it was a find at Michael Howard's Web Log --
A Real-world Windows Vista BitLocker Tip.

Windows Vista Microsoft Updates Available


The following Windows Vista updates are available:

Vista Compatible Firewalls and Other Bookmark Updates


Vista Compatible Firewalls

I am excited about the addition of Vista Compatible Firewalls to Windows Vista Bookmarks. This collection provides Vista users with a complete list of Microsoft and third-party firewalls. I came by the information via Donna's article, "
Third-Party Firewall Software for Vista" providing a link to Matousec. Matousec recently added Windows Vista compatible firewalls to their extensive list of personal firewalls and their vendors.

With Matousec's icon system, I picked out all of the firewalls that run on Windows Vista and included whether they support 64 bit. The firewalls are separated between Free, Free and Full-Feature Pay Versions and Pay Versions only.

Security Adviso– Vulnerability in Windows Could Allow Elevation of Privilege


On April 17, 2008, Microsoft released Security Advisory 951306, Vulnerability in Windows Could Allow Elevation of Privilege.

Summary

Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a vulnerability which could allow elevation of privilege from authenticated user to LocalSystem, affecting Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 and all supported versions and editions of Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Customers who allow user-provided code to run in an authenticated context, such as within Internet Information Services (IIS) and SQL Server, should review this advisory. Hosting providers may be at increased risk from this elevation of privilege vulnerability.

Currently, Microsoft is not aware of any attacks attempting to exploit the potential vulnerability. Upon completion of this investigation, Microsoft will take the appropriate action to protect our customers, which may include providing a solution through a service pack, our monthly security update release process, or an out-of-cycle security update, depending on customer needs.

Recommendations

Review Microsoft Security Advisory 951306 which provides an overview of the issue, summary of affected products, workarounds, suggested actions, frequently asked questions (FAQ) and links to additional resources.

Microsoft 2008 MVP Global Summit


Recently I posted the final installment of the four-part series About: The Microsoft MVP Program and mentioned the MVP Global Summit. Those interested in a flavor of what the Summit is about can get a birds-eye view from the press release, Microsoft 2008 MVP Global Summit Virtual Pressroom. Greater detail, with NDA information excluded, is available in the keynote presentations by Ray Ozzie and Steve Ballmer.

Apple Improves Update Notifications


With thanks to stopBADware.org and others who complained, Apple has made an improvement in their update practices. Last month, I questioned whether Apple was Turning to Foistware Methods. Based on the example provided by stopBADware.org, at least the updates are separated from the "new software". This isn't a perfect solution, however, it is much better than the way it had been handled.

See Apple Responds to Community Concerns at stopBADware.org for an illustration of the changes made by Apple.

Microsoft Announcements



Two items of interest to the public.

First, for people still using Windows XP, Service Pack 3 has been released to manufacturing (RTM). SP3 is expected to be available on Windows Update on April 29.

See TechNet, Windows XP Service Pack 3 Released to Manufacturing.

The next bit of news is that Microsoft has released the latest Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR). As reported at Microsoft Press Pass,
"The report focuses on the second half of 2007 and uses data derived from a range of tools running on approximately 450 million computers worldwide to provide an in-depth, global view of software vulnerabilities, software exploits, malicious software and potentially unwanted software. The latest SIR shows the fewest number of security vulnerability disclosures across the software industry since the second half of 2005, along with a rise in malicious and potentially unwanted software, which demonstrates a continued use of malware as a tool for targeting computer users for profit."

Microsoft Releases New Ultimate Extras



Not that three additional Windows Vista desktop DreamScenes and two new sound schemes (Glass and Pearl) are all that Ultimate, but at least we are seeing some content, finally.

Announcing WinPatrol 2008 With ActiveX Control


Bill Pytlovany released a new version of WinPatrol which includes a great new security feature. On increasingly frequent occasions we hear of "zero-day" or unpatched vulnerabilities affecting programs with ActiveX components. In fact, the majority of all browser plug-in vulnerabilities can be attributed to Active X. With WinPatrol 2008, you can monitor and control Active X components. Aside from the Microsoft plug-ins, popular programs including ActiveX are Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime, RealPlayer and SunMicrosystems Java.

There are several options available for viewing the ActiveX controls on your computer with WinPatrol 2008 and they can easily be changed by toggling the check box combinations. The example below illustrates a selection of all Active-X controls, including those not used with IE.
(Click image to view full size)

The combination of options for viewing ActiveX controls includes:
  • List all ActiveX controls including those not used by Internet Explorer
  • Only view ActiveX controls used by Internet Explorer
  • Toggle non-Microsoft ActiveX controls on/off.
If there is an unpatched vulnerability, without any fancy tricks, merely select the appropriate ActiveX control with WinPatrol, click disable and "Yes" to the prompt:


After the vulnerability has been patched, reverse the process to enable the ActiveX control.

WinPatrol will also monitor your system and let you know when new ActiveX components try to make their home on your system. If it’s not something you wanted WinPatrol will kill the new component before it can do any damage.
