    Autocad 2002 Menu Load Failure

    I un-installed Autocad 2002 and "up-graded" to Autocad 2004... No problems with a fresh install of ACAD 2004... No, I do not have Solid Works installed...

    Autocad 2002 Menu Load Failure

    I typed the MENUUNLOAD command and that menu was not in the list to remove... In fact only 2 menus were listed, both ACAD menus... So I don't know where or what that "edw" thing is... I re-named the file edw.mnu and the problem seems to have gone away for now...

    Autocad 2002 Menu Load Failure

    I accidently started an un-install on Autocad 2002. I canceled and did a re-install of Autocad 2002 and now when I start Autocad 2002 I get the following message: Menu Load Failed: File Not Found:edw.(mnu/mns/mnc) What is that and how do I correct it?

    How to delete views in ".idw"

    aardvarkdw... That suggestion is not working for me... I select the view I want to delete, right-click, and select "delete"... I only get a confirm window asking if I want to delete that view with an "OK" or "Cancel" button... If I click "OK" the other connected views go away also... I'm using...

    How to delete views in ".idw"

    Wow... Is that really the way to do something like this??... I had assumed there was a more elegant, and simple way to do this... But thanks, I'll give it a try...

    How to delete views in ".idw"

    I want to delete the base view and cross-section view and just keep the projected view in a ".idw" Inventor drawing... But when I right-click either the base or cross-section view and click "delete", all views go away... How can I keep the projected view and delete the other 2 views??

    Printing Question

    While in either a part model or assembly model view (.ipt or .iam) how do you print your model so that it is scaled to fit the page... I don't see any printing options and Inventor seems to decide on it's own what size to print the model...
