What is Necessary Knowledge?The fact is “It’s what you don’t know that gets you”. Not knowing almost always costs you the most money and man-hours. The rapid changes will continue to happen in the Information Age. Many of these changes are technological, however the technology changes are fundamentally changing the way we work. This is definitely happening in the AEC, GIS, and Government sectors of our economy. This is happening today in your organization. Why produce Necessary Knowledge?CVIS is a company who’s real job is learning applied technology. For every change your organization encounters we probably encounter five. We spend and invest our energy helping organizations and people just like you get over the humps and make things work in the real world on real projects with real people. Our Necessary Knowledge documents are produced to give you an important new knowledge and understanding about how the technology may be changing the business around you. Most pieces are developed based on consulting and training services we have performed with and for our clients. Necessary Knowledge provides you with the most valuable type of knowledge there is…wisdom about what truly works. |

Autodesk Object Enablers
A basic primer on Autodesk Object Enablers: Why are there Object Enablers anyway? What about file compatibility? People are sending me drawing with things in them I can't see and I can't plot...What do I do? How can we work with other people when we can't even see what they are sending us? Why is Autodesk doing this to me?
