 As can be seen in the wiki page, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae#Colebrook%E2%80%93White_equation|Darcy friction factor formulae]], there are reasonably accurate equations that approximate the Colebrook equation that are available that do not require iterations to solve.  I believe the VBscript is simpler and not an approximation.....  As can be seen in the wiki page, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae#Colebrook%E2%80%93White_equation|Darcy friction factor formulae]], there are reasonably accurate equations that approximate the Colebrook equation that are available that do not require iterations to solve.  I believe the VBscript is simpler and not an approximation.....

 +====Excel Conditional Formatting Applies to Field Changing Unexpectedly====
 +MSExcel unnecessarily and annoyingly changes conditional formatting ranges.
 +
 +The options menu, advanced options, Editing options, unselect Extend data range formats and formulas reputedly stops this behavior.  Unfortunately, it also stops the automatic copying of formula when inserting new rows or adding new lines to the bottom of an existing list.

-The Intel built in graphics accelerator seems to have problems with proper full screen resolution on 4K monitors.  A solution to rectify this is to turn off the hardware acceleration within the AutoCAD product, see [[https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-enable-or-disable-hardware-acceleration-in-AutoCAD.html|How to enable or disable hardware acceleration in AutoCAD]].  The hardware configuration option can be found using the following commpands: '' graphicsconfig, 3Dconfig, options.+====AutoCAD Hardware Acceleration====

 +====Annotative block===== 
 +If inserting block does not seem to scale or show up check the annotative option on the block properties.  The option can only be changed in block edit.

 +====Inserting a Picture==== 
 +Attaching a picture effectively externally references the picture.  Unlike a drawing xref these ole object do not seem to be able to be bound (embedded) to the drawing. This is subject to links path breakage, particularly on multiuser system.  Where the image is in the same directory the path can be specified as "./image.file". 
 +Use the PASTESPEC command and paste in as a picture file.  This embeds into drawing file, not as a link.
