April Fool’s Day

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your opinion of the day, I missed doing an April 1st day post this year. Well to make up for it I’m going to show how you can prank your coworkers next April 1. The first thing to do is install Infraworks on their computer. Then teach them how to do expressions.

Well that’s not the entire prank, only the first part of it. Before you teach them how to use expressions go into their computer and find the appropriate language folder. For US English it is:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\InfraWorks 360\en-US

Then open up the  ExpressionEditorTooltips.json in your favorite text editor. Then go through and change any of the descriptions to funny work appropriate phrases.

The next time they open up Infraworks the phrase will show up in the expression editor when they hover over the words associated in the json file. Have fun!
