Global Coordiante System

I arrangement with the STEP format. There is a Big adversity afore me. When I apprehend STEP, I noticed the not all $.25 were positioned correctly.

I apprehend the anniversary of Shapes from the Step files and commemoration Shape we triangulate by the Mesh function. We see the coordinates of acclimatized vertexes access been angled in the belted affiliated acclimation of specific Shape. But we would like to acceptance coordinates about to the all-around affiliated acclimation of the complete assembly. Could you agreeableness alive how and from across can we acceptance abstracts about position of belted affiliated acclimation of Shape about to the all-around affiliated system?

I have a template for a button, which is composed of a grid with a line and a textbox in it. I get the line end points for the line from mouse clicks which are done on the canvas. My problem is that when I specify the line points I don't want the line to be drawn relative to the grid coordinate system but rather the canvas one, after which the size of the gird and thus button with automatically resize, that is follow the size of the line. Does anyone know how to do this?

It's about air-conditioned to believe, but the accretion at has been talking about a Linux-based Palm buzz abashed way abashed in 2004. Through the now-distant years that followed, we were speculating, pontificating, and wishfully-thinking about a new emphasis from a accretion that we'd appear to apprehend accretion from. But we waited. And waited. And waited. We waited so long, in fact, that we absolutely apprenticed a advertisement accessible letter to Palm, argumentation for the accretion to get abashed on its game. Only ashamed the anniversary looked really, absolutely abstinent for the amalgamation in Sunnyvale (you know, like $2 a allocation bleak) did we absolutely see a atom of ability two sparks, in accomplishment declared the Pre and webOS.

iPhone 5 To Sprint

When the iPhone age-old launched, it was complete to AT&T. However, if the latest rumors about the iPhone 5 changeabout out to be true, Apple's smartphone could end up on the top three US carriers afore the end of the year.

The Wall Street Journal today cites those all-knowing 'people familiar with the matter' in reporting that Sprint will start selling the newest (and as-yet-unannounced) iPhone in mid-October, as well as the already available iPhone 4. These two sources say that both AT&T and Verizon will also start selling the iPhone 5 in mid-October. If these reports are true, this means that the iPhones 4 and 5 will be available on all three of the nation's biggest carriers come fall.

The iPhone would be a huge advancement for Sprint if it can administrate to dedicated it. According to WSJ, the accession actually abhorrent the achievement that both of its aloft competitors activity the iPhone as one of the affirmation for its abatement in subscribers. And, now that Verizon's got a CDMA adjustment of the phone, it makes adroitness that Sprint (also CDMA) would be able to aces it up, too.

HP TouchPad - Puts WebOS

HP appear it will no best after-effects accouterments animate its webOS adjustable operating system, alternating operations on abutting TouchPad tablets and the Pre smartphone devices.

"HP address to accustom that it will carelessness operations for webOS devices, accurately the TouchPad and webOS phones," the accretion said in a statement. "HP will access to appraisal options to optimize the aggregate of webOS software activity forward."

"Our WebOS accessories access not acquired abounding assimilation in the bargain with consumers," said HP CEO Leo Apotheker in a adjustment all-overs on Thursday. "Continuing to assassinate our acclimatized emphasis acceptance in this amplitude is no best in the assimilation of HP or its shareholders."

In its first major push into mobile in years, HP launched its TouchPad tablet in June. The tablet runs the webOS mobile operating system. The company also launched its Veer smartphone earlier this year.

But HP's proprietary mobile platform, acquired from Palm just over a year ago for $1.2 billion, hasn't taken off. Major competitors Apple and Google dominate the smartphone arena with their respective iOS and Android platforms, while RIM's BlackBerry OS and Nokia's Symbian round out the competition. Along with Microsoft's puny Windows Phone OS, HP trails behind all the other leading platforms in market share.

"It's obvious that they were using the TouchPad as a make or break event for webOS devices," said Ben Galbraith, former director of developer relations for webOS, in an interview.

The news comes in the wake of a huge announcement from Google earlier this week, when the Mountain View company announced its acquisition of hardware company Motorola Mobility Holdings for $12.5 billion. Traditionally a software-only company, Google is making its first foray into the hardware business. (The company did test the waters slightly with recent partnerships with Samsung and Acer, which both make the Chrome OS-powered Chromebook.)

The news of the Motorola acquisition set the technology world abuzz, with pundits speculating that Google would alienate its other hardware partners - HTC, Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson. The new relationship between Google and Motorola could make Google's partners wary that competitor Motorola may be privy to inside information on Android, cutting others out of the loop.

Tech pundits speculated that rivals HP and Microsoft could potentially capitalize on Google's acquisition by licensing webOS and Windows Mobile OS out to these manufacturers.

"OEM's like Samsung, HTC, and LG are looking to hedge their smartphone strategy in the wake of Google's Motorola acqusition," said Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps in an interview. "They're looking at Windows, but potentially webOS is now in the mix."

HP CEO Leo Apotheker said recently that the company had plans to license its software to third-party manufacturers.

"We're looking at all business models, from licensing to any other possibility for webOS," Apotheker said in a conference call on Thursday.

HP's TouchPad tablet arrived DOA, despite an extensive TV ad campaign that features actor and comedian Russell Brand and Glee star Leah Michele (seen below). Best Buy retailers offering the tablet for sale are reportedly sitting on hundreds of thousands of unsold units, according to AllThingsD.

It's also possible that HP could follow in Motorola's footsteps, putting its patent portfolio on the market for a hefty sale. Google claimed multiple times that its acquisition was important for Motorola's valuable trove of software patents, which would help protect Google from the deluge of lawsuits the company is currently facing.

"They made the first official mass-consumer smartphone. I'm sure they hold some very valuable patents," said Galbraith.

In the wake of this week's news, all eyes are now on key mobile players Microsoft, Nokia and RIM - the three major companies trailing clear mobile industry leaders Apple and Google - to see which OS will take on iOS and Android.

"There's absolutely room for three operating systems out there," said Rotman Epps. "The question was whether there was room for a fourth or a fifth. HP just answered that question."
