So, I'm back using the APCD

[Duck Hook]

It's amazing what grief, despair and boredom will drive a person to.

It's also amazing how many APCD processes and APCD glitches one forgets over time by not opening the designer.

For instance, taking 15 minutes trying to create a seam blend before remembering I also needed a path mapping to make it work.

Or tediously painting in vertices for an hour and a half only to lose the lot due to a crash upon the final 'save as' after only using the save option during the session.

Sometimes it feels fun again, other times it reminds me just why I gave it up.

Luckily, there is always alcohol.

Good to see you back Todd.

I've lost track of the number of times with computers where I have said to myself "I used to know how to do this".

I swear it is not a seniors moment!

Hi ya Todd...!!!!!!!

I have found that just doing a "save" and then copying that file to a backup folder and and renaming it with a -1 at the end and so on. Then I have multiple backups to go back to if needed. I save every 5-10 minutes.

Glad to see you back my Friend......

Long live alcohol.......

Hi Todd.........welcome back to the drawing board again. I've always admired your course designs, in fact Cambrian Ridge is one of my favorites After you get re-assimilated to the APCD and are ready to handle it's many "quirks", do you have a particular course project in mind to "re-start" with or not ? If so, real or fictional ? Whatever your choice, I'll look forward to it.

Best regards.............Ron Weel

Hi guys, gotta strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. I've forgotten so much though it's not funny.
Ron, I have 3 real courses I have been tinkering with. All quite similar really, Including what I believe to be the best course in Georgia One is a bit further along than the other 2. Since coming back I realised I was trying to be too exact with one of them and this drove me away. Now I have a much more casual approach.

Good to have you back Todd.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with the re-entry!

Thanks Colin

I have to build a clubhouse for Tara Iti, so when the time comes I will be heading your way for advice and any 3D issues I come up against.
