I am curious which design software people are using.

I guess I'm not sure what you mean. As far as system desing I do that in my head and on a peice of scratch paper to start. But if your talking engineering drawings, a simple program like Visio can do wonders. When your ready to go the distance, VidCad or something simillar is a godsend.

D-tools has a very good product with lots of support, but the learning/setup curve is pretty steep.
|
How hard can this be? |

D-Tools is a great program...if you can afford the initial cost and make full use of the program.
Takes some time to do it, so if you have someone assigned to doing drawings etc. cut them some slack because it is VERY time consuming to do that kind of stuff.

I am using d-tools. I like the idea of the product, but I think that it tries to do too many things in one package.
We now use it just for creating our schematics, elevations, and wiring diagrams. We have gone back to using Auto CAD to do our plan drawings, and excel for our estimates.

At CEDIA I saw a demo of a software package that was done in Filemaker Pro. Does anyone know anything about this software?

The software you saw was Custom Proposal System by Horizon Software. It is realatively cheap by comparison to D-tools and works great. Its graphics functions however are crappy. I have been using CPS for about 7 years and it is the best investment I ever made. I use it to sell and document our jobs but I also use D-tools Lite to do drawings, schematics and line drawings. Its a pain maintaining both data bases but so far neither is really the complete solution I am looking for.

Super CPS (contact Horizon @ [email protected]) will have everything Dtools has and more.

I need help in programming my RC5000i for my Mitsubishi TV. I've done the easier things but need to open up the CCF files to change code to input switching. What software is there for this or how do I make these code changes.
