AutoCAD 2010 :: Changing Arc Default Setting?
Dec 2, 2013Is there a way to change the default arc type in AutoCAD 2011? Currently, the ARC command defaults to "Start, End, Radius". I would like it to default to a 3-point arc.

We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.
In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.
We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.
I have 2 staff members who both have recently had problems with their custom settings from OPTIONS revert to the default settings every time they close out of AutoCad. One is using AutoCAD 2013 on W7 & the other is using AutoCAD 2014 on W8.1.
They have to reset their display, units, osnaps, etc regularly. I suggested creating a profile they can use until we resolve the problem,
We just switched to AutoCAD 2013 and we are trying to figure out the best way to make a note with a leader. So far it seems the best thing to use is the keynote option called TEXT WITH STRAIGHT LEADER. If we just do text, no leader is automatically added. This seems to work except we cannot set the text to a default of arial.
Once the text is entered, it changes to ArchDim instead of the text we created called 'Arial'.
I'm the REVIT person in the office so I'm trying to figure out CAD as I go...hence I need easy instructions that I can try to navigate...
I have just installed my autocad 2013 software. I've set the units to millimeters. But the workspace is still in inches. Even the dimentions are coming in inches. How to set the unit in millimeters?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI know there's the setting in the Tools/Application Options/File dialogue that allows you to set a system wide setting of which LOD that opens each time you activate an assembly.
But what about a file specific setting where you are able to set a specific LOD that always opens for that specific assembly file? Or will that conflict with the system wide settings?
Granted, I know Inventor will open the last saved LOD (based on that system wide setting), but my client has users that, for a lack of better terms, are not paying attention or being aware of what LOD they are opening and thus editing the wrong LOD, etc.
way to set the default to be 0. When we release a drawing we have it as Rev 0, Released for Fab..
It's a pain having to change it from 1 to 0 for every idw.

I need to set the default template which is loaded when the AutoCAD application is launched. Is there a way to do this?
E.g. If I open AutoCAD, the template loaded is acad.dwt. But I want to change the default template to acadiso.dwt.
In the hatch dialogue there is a setting to target the hatch to a specific layer. How does one set the default to ALWAYS be "Use Current"?
Attached jpg shows the target layer as ffbrg, but I want that to ALWAYS read "Use Current" when creating a NEW hartch. In other words, I am happily working in a specific layer creating all these hatches and then realize LATER that all the hatches were in different layers causing great confusiion and havoc.
Looking for registry keys to control the default attachment type (Full, Relative, & No Path) for XRef, Image, PDF, & DWF in the attachment dialog. (I'm using C3D but this applies to plain ACad also).
For XRef the key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskAutoCADR18.2ACAD-A000:409ProfilesMyWorkSpaceDialogsXattachDialog
The value is "PathType" DWORD = 1 for relativepath
For Image the key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskAutoCADR18.2ACAD-A000:409ISM
The value is "ImagePathType" DWORD = 1 for relative path (NOTE: this value didn't exist, once I created it, C3D used the key for both storing the value when closing C3D the reading the value when presenting the attach dialog).
Looking for keys that control PDF & DWF attachments.
Is there a way to change the default setting for the Array path command?

Autodesk Inventor 2010 .idw Drawing Detail - Where is the default setting for "Full Dimension Line" so that I can set it to always be on when placing a linear diametric dimension? I would prefer to turn it off on the few occasions when dimensioning a diameter on a Detail View that does not include the center line rather than each and every diameter on a section view. This is necessary because a diameter symbol does not show up in the diameter dimension unless the full distance line it is selected, which is not always possible. I am aware of the Application Option setting that allows Linear Diametric as a preference, which becomes the default for all dimensions, and it is user specific rather than document specific.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have, as our standard library default dimension style, a 1/32 fractional style, called "1/32-FRACTION". Various Object Types, like Linear Dimension are set to this Object Style. When I create a drawing, then these Object Defaults are in effect.
This means that, doing nothing while executing a dimension command, I get fractional dimensions by default. This works good.
However, sometimes I want to create a drawing where the default dimension style is "X.XXX-DECIMAL" without changing the Object Defaults found in the style library. I've tried to make the changes from within the style library and then save this as a template. However, when I try to make a drawing based on this template, Inventor states that the styles in the template differ from the styles in the library" and then busily goes about undoing what I careful did.
So I'm hoping there is something in the API I can call on to do this with a macro. Is it possible to write a macro that after you start a drawing, flips all the various Object Styles from "1/32-FRACTION" to "X.XXX-DECIMAL"?
how can I set the default setting to 4x3? It seems to want to go to 16x9. figured out how to do it in VS3.

If I open the "Get Info" window on a .psd file, I can set "Open with” to Adobe Photoshop CC for an individual file, but if I click “Change All” and click “Continue” in the pop-up box, it just goes back to “Adobe CS6.app”, no matter what I do. Even files created in PS CC revert to opening with CS6.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set my photos to open in Photoshop CC. It was set to open just fine in regular Photoshop CS6 but once I installed Photoshop CC I was unable to open my photo's in photoshop unless I opened them in Bridge. I also can't open my InDesign documents unless I open them in Bridge. And I can't open Illustrator at all unless I open it in Bridge itself by adding the Illustrator.exe to my favorites in Bridge and then clicking on it. Is Photoshop CC not able to be the Default for photo's yet, is there a work around that can be done to have my computer register that it's even there to be set as default. Then when I uninstalled Photoshop CC because I WANT my photos to open automatically in Photoshop then when I went to re-install regular Photoshop CS6 it wasn't there to download so I had to reinstall Photoshop CC. Is there a way like I said to have my photos be open and to have my default be set in Photoshop CC?
