in the process of changing the scale of one of my drawings and my intern isnt in today, haha. is there a command or lisp routine to convert mtxt to a multileader? when i search for this function, the search results are full of people talking about converting separate mtxt/txt and qleaders. i dont have a leader. im starting with mtxt. it would be cool to have a lisp or command that went straight from mtxt to a multileader.

Ive searched and searched and cant find an answer or even ideas on how to fix this.

when im connected to AA, but using navigation on my phone, as soon as i enter navigation, it says "something went wrong" in a toast notification. which awesomely blocks all the info i need at the bottom of the screen. if i go to the home screen and back to navingation, it does it again... and now, with gemeni button, if i click it, it pops up that error as well. no way to interact with gemeni.

when im not connected to AA it never does any of this. i can open, close maps, tap on gemeni, interact with gemeni and everything is good.

ive tried clearing the google, gemeni and AA app caches. nothing. anyone have any other solutions?

Looking to swap out my gen 1 system for gen 3. i CAN afford to buy the gen 3 outright, but we need 3 keypads, and a ton of entry sensors, so it will add up quickly...

i see a lot of used kits on ebay going for super cheap that would basically turn my $500 install into a $200 install. is there anything to watch out for with these used kits? obviously they might be broken... which will be covered by ebay if the seller is no good... and the batteries might be low, so im prepared to replace them. but is there anything else i need to look out for? can they be locked to an account/system, etc?

in fall of 2016 i stayed at a cabin in townsend with some family. we did a lot of the big name activities. cades cove, abrams falls trail, mt le conte hike, drove the roaring fork trail, saw the elk. as well as some general driving around to short lookout walks(too short to call them hikes). some spirally lookout tower lookout thingy. also went into gatlinburg and did the titanic museum and some other things to entertain the kids that were along.

this was all right before the terrible forest fires ripped through everything, by the way. was kind of weird feeling that we vacationed and left something that would be permanently changed. but anyway...

in any event, my girlfriend and i decided on GSM to be our NP vaca this year. so we could check it off of her list. it will be this fall(we were thinking mid september, after school started but before leafs change, to hopefully avoid the crowds)... is that timing a good idea?

i know from the last trip there are several things we can skip/avoid... cades cove/roaring fork trail, getting anywhere close to gatlinburg, etc. but some stuff id like to do again(intermediate lookout hike(s), waterfall hike(s), driving to lookouts, see the elk again(she has never seen one)...

but im trying to decide if we want to stay on the west side again and just avoid what we dont like, or stay on the east side. im pretty heavily leaning towards the east side.

we are wilderness types. a little too banged up to do any serious backpacking, but we will be staying in a tent at a campground. we would enjoy driving into "town" a couple times for some local grub or maybe a local dive bar.

any suggestions on what campgrounds to stay at, hikes to take, hikes to avoid, etc? leaning towards some waterfall hikes vs a serious climb like leconte. but a smaller peak hike would be do-able.

also thought about trying to do a partial day float on one of the rivers. i saw the ocoee is popular to raft, but that might be too far of a drive from anywhere we would want to stay in the park. anything we could kayak farther north? (would want to rent boats, dont want to trailer ours)

I prefer keyboard commands over right click shortcuts and ribbon inputs. i dont like to hunt down things i have to click on... but ive found in civi3d that im constantly editing either the properties or style of civil3d objects which requires right clicks or ribbon or a command specific to each object to get into either the properties or style of that object. so the work flow is either:

select surface, right click, find and click edit surface properties which initiates an "editsurfaceproperties" command.

select parcel, right click, find and click parcel properties which initiates an "editparcelproperties" command.

or if i want to change the style of a c3d object, i have to

select surface, right click, find and click edit surface style which initiates an "editsurfacestyle" command.

select parcel, right click, find and click parcel style which initiates an "editparcelstyle" command.

the same goes with surfaces, parcels, gradings, feature lines, pipe networks, pipes, structures, profiles, profile views, corridors, alignments, and each label for each of those items.

is there a command level input that will allow me to type in a universal command to bring up all of those properties, and/or a universal command that lets me edit the styles of any of those objects?

I don't like to have my messages or other notifications pop up on my car's screen. i dont want the distractions. but i DO want to hear that i got a txt, and since i have different sounds for different people that send me txts, i can usually hear WHO i get a text from, so i know if i have to stop and address it or ignore it.

im not sure when it started, but i currently do not get any sound from my phone when im connected to android auto. i tested it out this am and not only do i not get a sound, i dont get any of the other notification items. no bubble at the top of the screen, no edge colors, no sound.... just the notification icon.

am i stuck with this functionality unless i turn on the message notifications on android auto itself? if so, thats pretty stupid.

ok, so our old as dirt g6a-7 atwood is starting to act up. it hasnt been lighting reliably. it could probably be fixed with a new thermocouple, and i will probably do just that for a short term repair, but the exhaust metal is a bit rusted and the thing is just getting pretty long in the tooth. not to mention, we would love a unit with spark that we can turn on and off with a switch from inside, which would save us a ton of propane, as we only need hot water occasionally.

we arent really looking to replace it with a new unit, so ive been watching for used ones on ebay. and there seems to be tons of them with everyone going tankless these days. just looking for some opinions on what models i should look for.

i know suburban makes the drop in direct fit unit. SAW6D im yet to see one used, and since they are so new, i doubt i will anytime soon. also, steel tank(with anode) and im assuming this is a con over aluminum tanks they used to have?

so really the 2 main options i see are:

suburban SW6D. i see these most often. ive seen them in person as well.

cons...

• steel tank.
• they would require fitting and me to shrink down the opening. it is well within my abilities to do so, but a con nonetheless.
• the doors arent hinged, they just sit in place.
• the pressure release is jammed behind the door latch, which makes it harder to drain(we winterize about 4-6 times a year, so this is important)

pros:

• the ones i see are usually pretty new, and in good condition
• parts availability

atwood G6A-8E i see these occasionally. havent seen one in person.

cons...

• older and in rougher shape
• older so unsure about parts availability

pros...

• same similar size, might be a direct drop in.
• hinged cover
• aluminum tank

if the steel tank is not as big of a deal as im making it, i think that would sway me to the newer unit, so please weigh in there. we typically have our tank full from march-october, and then fill and empty it every use between october and march, which is usually 2 times a month.

speaking of steel tanks... has anyone used the annode/drain combo that camco(and a few other brands make? and if so, care to weigh in?

we currently have a quick valve to turn ours on and off which we would hate to do without and this seems like the only option if we have a steel tank.

i have a few apple trees at our cabin in north central PA. the one tree was looking rough last year and this year i noticed a giant ant hill underneath it. from what ive read, the ants dont do much damage, but they are usually a symptom of aphids, and will "farm" the aphids. so my question is... how do i combat them at a cabin that we only visit about once a month? i see most solutions are regular spraying with water, or soaps, or oils... that's obviously not an option for us.

id normally be ok with a non organic aggressive insecticide like imidacloprid, but as soon as i saw that its bad for bees, i wanted to look for another solution. i also saw PyGanic, but that seems to require regular applications, and its suggested to be used in conjunction with other methods. would imidacloprid be ok for a one time use?

ive also heard that another option is trying to kill the ants so they no longer protect the aphids from natural control... which would be great as the ant control would be pretty non invasive. as far as bees, etc go.

Is there any way to schedule DnD or some other silent/sleep mode on a galaxy watch without a samsung phone?

on my samsung phone, its easy enough. i have it synced with my phone. my GF has a pixel with her galaxywatch and hasnt been able to find any options.
