    CTRL & TAB then move mouse causes Acad LT 2012 to "Flicker"

    Apparently as strange as it started it is now not doing it anymore. Maybe he untinkered.

    CTRL & TAB then move mouse causes Acad LT 2012 to "Flicker"

    It's still doing it. I'm leaning towards him tinkering with something becasue his is the only machine affected with this. I'm probably going to end up uninstalling the program and profile and bring it back stock.

    CTRL & TAB then move mouse causes Acad LT 2012 to "Flicker"

    I've been searching google for the better part of the day and only came up with the suggestion to go to Options > Selection > Uncheck Selections Modes which has no effect. Using Acad 2012 LT on XP, what is happening is when there are 2+ dwgs open and the user hits CTRL+TAB to cycle to the other...

    Trying to find the history of any SW file if possible.

    Hello, It's come to our attention that a user has been doing quite a bit of "on the side" work using company time & equipment for personal use while putting company work to the wayside and causing missed deadlines and poor company dwgs. He's been told many, many times not to do this but does...

    Free Viewer or Addon for .sdt files? We Use Acad 2008 & SW 2011

    You're going to have to forgive me as I don't use the programs myself. The detailer that received the .std file said that it's a drawing he needs to print out for reference but when I open up it notepad or a web viewer I tried they both come up as co-ordinate text not as a drawing. I tried...

    Free Viewer or Addon for .sdt files? We Use Acad 2008 & SW 2011

    We were recently given a .std file and because this seems like a one off I was wondering if there might be a viewer or an add on for AutoCAD 2008 or Solidworks Professional 2011 so we can open and print. This is also in the Bentley: Staad Products but there seems to be little movement in that...

    Missing Open Dialogue Box Acad 2007

    Thanks for the ideas, I did try the Alt-Space M with no luck so I just replaced the user profile with a default one and everything worked fine after that. I didn't get a chance to try the cascade.

    Missing Open Dialogue Box Acad 2007

    I've come across an issue I can't seem to resolve. I'm using Full AutoCAD 2007 and when I use the FILE > OPEN command it acts like the dialogue box is open but I can't see it on either screen. I can not select any other option from autoCAD at this point and when I do try to click a command in...
