Half the day on support emails.

I've long suspected the eCAD tool of doing random substitutions on critical parts of the eCAD drawing.

I had last week a situation where I set up a very tightly controlled change to part. A similar change early to a different part had all kinds of substitutions. I tracked every component of the drawing through every step, and tested complete part, and had the part verified by a co-worker.

When the design engineer updated to the new part.... BOOM Substitutions!

A 10 page document later and filed support request....

With so far 5 lengthy follow up emails going through damn near every keystroke....

The main problem is the randomness of the error. I capture it in this case but cannot replicated it.

I can document it happened.

I need a drink!

But why make a fosse?

He casts a very, very, very long shadow over the subsequent history of dance.  I don't know that I hate him, but there is something sort of ugly in his style of dance -- brutalism come to the popular stage.  My brief foray into theater and having to dance in that particular style ... let's just say it ain't Fred and Ginger.

Nicely described.
