ISO instead of ANSI

I just reinstalled 2006. For some reason the default new parts and
assemblies are ISO even though I chose ANSI. Anyone else see this?

 

Yes. What's even worse is that someone at SW doesn't understand the
difference between 3rd and 1st angle projections. Check your default
drawing templates and also check the default for the 4 view viewport.

Why is a Boston company so Eurocentric? You can tell from your serial
number what country your software is meant for. It would be at least a
decent starting assumption to make ANSI the default for USA serial
numbers, and ISO / DIN default for Euro serial numbers.

Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil
fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

 

pardon?

It's a quote from Cicero.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than
public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

 

Thanks for elucidating.

Ya, Cicero Cad is our var too. Not much help either.

 

Nihil -- from which we get nothingness
est-- from which we get is
incertius-- from which we get uncertain
vulgo-- from which we get vulgar, but in latin refers to the mob
nihil --
obscurius-- from which we get obscure
voluntate-- from which we get volunteer but which meant opinion or
perhaps that offered up freely and perhaps worthless because of it.
hominum--, from which we get public, persons, people
nihil--
fallacius-- from which we get fallacious but which mean deceptive
ratione-- from which we get rational, but hear means thinking and with
fallacius may mean wrong thinking.
tota-- from which we get total, but which meant the whole
comitiorum--. from which we get committee, but which meant a system in
the sense of a group of people.

OK, so I didn't take Latin, but it is amazing, first that words in use
2,000 years ago still can be made to yield meaning in modern English,
and second, that Cicero was and is still right on and third that Latin
grammar is very compact. .
