Haven't encountered this one before, but have tried it in 2 versions of autocad, on two different machines:
Have a screw boss on an extrusion that is on a standoff leg from the interior face. Inner and outer surfaces of screw boss are concentric. Distance in autocad shows both X and Y...
Our company is looking into replacing our outdated plotter, and while we don't use it a lot, it has definitely covered the ROI multiple times.
We typically print 24" or 36" wide, so wouldn't want to go below a 36" roll feed. Don't do hundreds of prints a month, but (if we had a more reliable...
Have tried to find a lisp, or simple way to do this, other than exploding or typing text. No luck so far...
What we're trying to do, is put a dimension on a object that reads true-to-scale as a "fixed" number, and then be able to stretch the object down to a more "compressed" visual...
Have a previous post where I touched on this, but have used it a lot more, so different questions added in this time, but still some of the previous as well.
Is there a setting that will change the "new-upgraded-better" dimension workflow back to how older (say... 2016 for instance) used to...
I have recently been upgraded to Acad 2019, and while there are a number of items that seem worth it, there are a few that just irritate me to no end.
First, I have done a lot of looking, and have found that it is "working as intended" (certainly not MY intention...) - With SDI set to 1...
Going back a few releases, not sure when the change occurred or if it was a unique program we had.. Before, when running the flatten command, it would take most objects in autocad, and (If you're in world ucs plan view, for instance) change the Z coordinate to 0.
If there were blocks, it moved...
I've done a bit of research, and read a number of websites, so I have done my homework, but a lot of the pages look like people that are just noodlers, not daily users, or they're just completely full of BS and have no idea what they're saying. Tough to filter truth through some of those...
This is one of those things that I have found multiple responses to on the web, but as stated in about all of them... the results are inconclusive, erratic, etc.
Has anyone ever found a reliable way, in Acad 2015 full, vanilla version, to delete the list of recent sheet sets, in the sheet set...
More fun cropping up, more often lately. Originally posted about it in thread555-372052 but haven't found a fix for it, just workarounds.
Dimassoc = 2
Dimlfac settings, and everything else aside, (we dimension in pspace, to modelspace points, scaled to the viewpot, so it sets the dimlfac...
I've tried to search for this, but no luck.
Autocad 2015, SP2. When in Autocad, and I go to open a file, the dialogue box pops up, with a list of cad files. I have the view set to "details", with columns Name, Date Modified, Size, and Attributes showing.
Every so often, it forgets all the...
Odd problem, no idea if it's due to a windows update, that the only thing I can see at this point. When I start autocad, it puts it in one place on the monitor, at a specific size. If I resize it, or move it, and close... then restart.... it goes back to what it was before. JUST started doing...
We have a user on one workstation, that is having trouble with a titleblock xref loading when he opens the file.
Here is the order of things, that makes me scratch my head.
Open file A, with titleblock xref'd in. File opens, without the xref loading, and box pops up with the usual referenced...
Trying to get the ucs functionality similar to what I had in previous versions, but cannot for anything remember which setting it is that I am missing.
In previous versions, I could rotate the use as, UCS - Z - pick 2 points (not anwhere specific, I could pick 2 points on an angled line, NOT...
We have a user here, that is having an odd issue. (I have been unable to duplicate it, just see the files after.)
Autocad 2015, SP1. (Yes, I know SP2 is out, but it creates a bigger problem for us than it solves)
The part is drawn in model space, and all text and dimensions are done in...
Have looked a bit to try and find a solution, hoping that it's something simple that I've missed. Is there a way to nest a dynamic block, that is stretchable for width, inside another dynamic block, that is also stretchable for width, and have the nested one update when the main block is...
On one of the workstations here, the user has encountered a "curious" issue, for lack of a better term, since most of those are improper at the least. Object created in model space, then flip to paper space, and create a viewport of a portion, to dimension it. Click into viewport, and on the...
We're trying to get our custom menus updated, (I know, I should have done this years ago... but it's becoming enough of an issue with upgrades now that I have no choice) and we're trying to streamline the process.
Some of our pulldowns are.... legacy.... still loaded originally from a .mns...
Oddball question.... we're running Autocad 2012 (will be updating to 2013 before too long, but not there yet)
On a few of the machines, we have a profile a client sent us that acts differently between machines.
Version 1: We load the arg file, and everything loads correctly, switching back...
Background:
We build a set of blocks for a project, in one dwg file for use with a tool palette, and build dynamic aspects into the blocks that will use them.
Then, for varied reasons, we sometimes wblock out a block with the dynamic aspects built into it.
One some machines, if we go to open...
I can find all sorts of recommendations online, but those are from retailers wanting to sell hardware, so I'm looking for real world experience.
One of our guys here is wanting to update his current laptop, and is looking for something that will run autocad reasonably well, along with general...
