Question on: Altium Develop
How do I format symbol parameters from a database library?
I have a database library with a column containing the tolerance value for all my passive components. It always shows this value as a decimal value instead of a percentage value. How can you translate the parameter fields to fit your needs? As another example, with the maximum voltage parameter, it would be awesome to append a "V" after the value.

I think Altium simply pulls the text from that database field, and there is no way to format the text in Altium. You would have to add the V, or the %, in your DB backend. The only thing Altium can do is
You could format the decimal values in your BOM in your Excel template, but you probably want to see the formatting in the schematics, too.

Question on: Autodesk Fusion
Why cant I draw an arc length when I can in AutoCad?
I have asked them about this several times, and apparently it's not very straightforward for them to implement in fusion. I don't know why, since in autocad you can do arc lengths in about ten different ways. You can get around this by making a custom parameter. Search the autodesk forums and you will find a few posts where it is explained.

Some weeks later I got a mail from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never hear from them again that was when I knew I had been scammed. I was really devastated at those moment and felt so bad that my hard earn money is gone. After some month I came across a lot of testimonies on many bitcoin site how borsatom320@gmail.com had helped many people recovered there stolen, scammed or duped money on bitcoin or any other form on digital currency.
