Version of the CHSPACE.lsp command that has a "copy" option like the one from Intellicad?This version makes a copy of the selected objects first then moves them into the space you want, leaving the original objects alone in their original space.
View 3 RepliesI started on AutoCAD about two weeks ago for my company. The drawings that I have done are in a viewport. There are objects outside of the viewport that I am supposed to copy and past into the viewport to use (transformers, anchors, other utility stuff). The problem with these is that they are in paperspace and I would like to copy them into modelspace. When I try to copy them into model space it says "Duplicate definition of block ****** ignored." able to copy and paste into drawing instead of doing insert command all the time and finding desired block. I am running autocad lt 2004 and do not have a chspace command.

I set 'c' under aliasedit to COPY, but when I use the command 'c' it brings up [Displacement Multiple] as options but no mOde. If I use the command 'co' it brings up [Displacement mOde]. How do I set my 'c' copy command to default to multiple?

View 2 Replies View Related“Command” and “Option” settings in the AutoCAD...Is there a way to save the “Command settings” and the “Option settings” in the file but not on the “AutoCAD program”?
Examples:
The default of the “Isolate” command is “Lock and fade” For me I prefer to switch the this setting to be “Off”The default value of the command “FIELDEVAL” is 13. For me I prefer to switch the this setting to be “Off”The default setting of the “default mode” is “shortcut menu”. For me I prefer to switch this setting to be “repeat last command” ( I go to options>>user preferences”>>Windows standard behavior>>Right click customization>> default mode>>repeat last command. Is there a way to save these settings on the file such that if we open this file in another computer then we don't need to set them again?
In other words, why aren't the “Default settings” “Option settings” saved on the file the same way the “Drafting Settings: like sanps, Osanps” are?
When I try to copy and pate any element within the same drawing it won´t paste it will say: "specify insertion point" and I´ve given up.
I tried PICKFIRST but it is set to 1, also tried checking if it would fit in my screen or if the zoom was messed up, but nothing works!
Whenever I place a copy or paste from the clipboard AutoCAD freezes for about 5 -8 seconds and is very annoying. Time is money people. I know it's not a RAM issue. I don't have the problem with 2011 when I go back to it. What gives Autodesk? When is the next service pack due? This only happens with teh copy command
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the copy with base point command in paper space and try to paste it into paper space of another drawing it seems to come in on a different axis or something. I can see the view ports as they are supposed to be however the text just shows as a line. It would be as if I were to put text in model space on top view and see it just fine then go to a front view and see just a line.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using AutoCAD 2013 that came with Building Design Suite (Revit) and the copy command terminates after making the first copy, instead of continuing to make multiple copies until I terminate the command. Is there a switch to control this? A sysvar?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a 3D file (not of my creation) that gives me some problems when I try to copy it (it is a 3D building).
The problem is that, when i click on "copy" command, I can select a point but then AutoCAD crashes and it takes about 30 seconds to return working a normal way and permit me to paste it. (it happens with "move" command too)
Otherwise, if I use "copy with base point" I have no problems: after a second I can paste it where I want.
How can it be possible? Cause if sometimes I mistake and digit "copy", I always have to wait the long Autocad response.
This problem happens with both autocad 2012 and 2013 and it doesn't happen with other 3D files I have. The drawing is made mainly of meshes.
I have a Dell notebook and a NVIDIA Quadro 2000M video card, so you can understand I don't like this problems: I spent a lot of money for something I hoped could work well with AutoCAD.
About that, aren't there drivers for the graphic card? Cause when I click on "check for updates", autocad says me that there are newer version of the driver, but then it says me that it is impossible to update it (I have a connession and a student version).
I recently upgraded to Civil 3D 2011 from C3D2010. I have used the same ACAD.PGP file for years that includes the shortcut C for the COPY command. Up until C3D2011 this would always allow me to copy an entity multiple times, (the default when COPYMODE is set to 0).
I am running C3D2011 64bit on WIN 7 64bit OS. It happens with other commands too that use a dialog box normally, i.e. INSERT - it only brings up the command line version of it.
In one of my drawings, whenever I use CHSPACE, the z-coordinate changed (not 0,0,0) wonder if there is any setting relate to this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use CHSPACE a lot to bring dimensions over to paper space off of my 3d structural steel models when I am doing site layouts. Occasionally the dimensions flip over upside down? I am guessing this has something to do with the UCS orientation between model and paper space, is there a system variable of setting or something that will stop them flipping over?

if you care to not click-through, the problem is that certain commands (not all of them) simply do not disply in the command line. so the MOVE command for example looks like this:
NORMAL:
Command: _move
Select objects:
NOW:
Command:
Select objects:
same with QSAVE and who knows how many others.
I've been practicing my autocad and I'm having a problem comprehending the Edge option in the Extend command. I have tried using both options i.e. "extend" and "no extend" and I don't see any difference. What is the purpose of the edge command and it's two options?

I like that Autodesk now allows us to just pick a command's option from the command line instead of typing a letter in the option. For example, when drawing a rectangle we're prompted to "Specify first corner point or [Chamfer Elecation Fillet Thickness Width]" and if we wanted to draw fillets on the rectangle we can simply PICK that option from the prompt in the command line OR enter an "F" and return.
Is there a way we can use this functionality in our custom programs?
When I run LAYISO on the command line, It returns 'Select Objects on the layer to be isolated'
It doesn't give an option of 'or [Settings].
On my colleague's machine it does give the 'or [Settings] option.
Both machines plain ACAD 2009.
What is the system variable that controls this behaviour?
(I want to select Vpfreeze in paperspace viewport use.)
For some reason I now have to enter a path name at a command prompt in order to open another drawing. I also have the same situation when trying to attach a pdf or jpeg file to my drawing. how to revert back to the standard window of opening or attaching options?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm doing a work where i need to copy many layouts. I can set a few at a time, but doing one at a time is faster (in the end). However, rightclicking the mousebutton on the layout, copy it and scroll to the bottom to 'place at end' it time consuming.
I rather have a lisp of some kind that can copy the current layout and place it at the end (most right) of the layout tabs.
if it is possible with some -command (commandbar) i can do it myself, but i can't find any command to do so...
In the current drawing I am working in, when I copy a viewport using CO command it copies the viewport but nothing is seen in it. You cannot active it like a normal viewport; it turns into just a square. I do not have this problem in any of my drawings, just this one. If I copy the viewport by right clicking copy with a base point then paste it in the drawing, the viewport works fine. This is more time consuming then just using the CO command.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing with several dynamic blocks (over 1000 block references) with visibility states. I recently noticed that all of the blocks no longer have the option to change the visibility state (i.e. the upside down blue triangle no longer appears when clicking on the block).
If I insert a new block it comes in with the option to change the visibility state. However, the previously placed blocks still do not have the option of changing the visibilty state. Even if I update the definition of all block references in my drawing nothing changes with the previously placed blocks.
Is there an option/command to bring back the option of changing visibility states on my previously placed blocks?
In AutoCad LT 2013, on Windows 8, I experience a 1/5 - 2 second delay afte 'enter' on a Copy command. The enter may be used in either right-click command or spacebar modes. This is the only delay I am experiencing in any command used so far. Other than that, the 2013 is flawless in Windows 8.
