    import hatch in 2006?

    Hi, I'm running 2006. Some time back I downloaded and added a hatch to my .pat file, which works fine. I now want to share it with someone here at work, and I can't figure out how. I think I added the hatch when we were still running 2002, and it was imported from my old settings when we started...

    how to control scaling of breakline

    Can someone please explain/shed light on how to control the size of the breakline symbol available through express tools? I'm aware of the options available via the command prompt, size, extension, etc. But the overall size of the symbol seems to always change. In one drawing a size of 1/128th...

    blocks for european hinges?

    Lothar, Thanks for responding. Pretty funny, I guess you don't look at them as "european style hinges" in Europe. Anyway, in the US this is the generic term for adustable concealed hinges as shown here: http://www.blum.com/group/en/index.jsp Occasionally I have to show them in detail drawings...

    blocks for european hinges?

    Can anyone refer me to a site (manufacturer or otherwise) when I could download drawings for european style cabinet hinges? I've been searching the forum, but the usual references, (e.g. http://www.cben.net/) don't seem to have any. Thanks, Rob duPrey

    help with polar arrays

    Thanks CDH, That is essentially the answer I was looking for. So I guess if you have 2 objects to array, and they don't happen to be on the 0 - 180 degree axis, you'd have to create a reference angle from 0 degrees in order to pick you angle on screen. I always prefer to do that rather that type...

    help with polar arrays

    hi, I'm trying to arrange some objects along an arch using a polar array. I think I need some fundamental clarification about the polar array dialog box. 1. I created an arc 2. I've arranged the first set of objects in position at the beginning of the arc, ready for copying along it. 3. I've put...
