Civil 3D - Stormwater Design & Analysis

I was recently looking around and clicking on different things on Autodesk's website when I came upon a neat extension for Civil 3D users.  If you are a Civil 3D 2008 subscription customer you are able to download a Storm Water extension for free.  Its called Hydraflow Storm Sewer Extension.  You are able to use your pipe networks from Civil 3D to form a storm and sewer design.  There is a long list of features it is able to do.  Please check out the Autodesk website and see the features and how to download it.

CPM - Buzzsaw New Release October 2007

Autodesk recently made a new release of the Buzzsaw client available for download.  This update to version 2007.4SP specifically addresses an issue which has caused me some headache for some time now.  Before the update when a user was added to the site and added to a project, by default they were given the "view" permission for the area.  In many cases these new users should only have the "list" permission until they get further down within the project directory.  In some cases an admin is creating users for a new project startup or new bid posting and they don't want the users to have access to the area just yet.  This new update addresses that by allowing the admin to control the access permissions during the user creation and not afterwards.  For the full document see Autodesk Buzzsaw What's New page.

You may download the new version either the “Site Information” page from within the Buzzsaw site or at www.getbuzzsaw.com .

Even though this version is meant more for administrators, if you have not updated your Buzzsaw client in the last several months you should update as well.  Also get the latest Design Review software which has added many features over the last year.  Also available from the "Site Information" page or directly from Autodesk here.
