Altura - PTO Request

As much as we all love working here at Altura Engineering & Design, every now and then we must force ourselves, or maybe even be forced by our loved ones, to take a little time off. That’s why Altura has offered it’s full-time employees PTO, or Paid-Time Off. This way if the guilt of relaxing on the beach, when you should be clacking away on your office keyboard doesn’t quite do you in, then the guilt of receiving pay for relaxing on the beach when you should be clacking away on your office keyboard…will.
        
The world of engineering is filled to the brim with standards for all things, ensuring that its inhabitants do not cross the boundary into the darkness of self-thought and originality, so it only seems logical for there to be a standard for requesting PTO. Hence today’s acronym:
-TPPFRPTO-
“The Proper Procedure For Requesting Paid Time Off”

Cool Tips - Copy & Paste

If you do not know, you can use Windows shortcut keys for copy and paste (CTRL+C and CTRL +V) in AutoCAD as well as most other programs. For cad users though, we like to have the option of copying objects with a base point and pasting them with a base point, which is not available with these two keys.

However, if you use (CTRL + SHIFT + C) you are allowed to copy objects with a base point, and (CTRL + SHIFT + V) allows you to paste objects with a base point.
