AutoCAD 2010 :: Mtext Edit Window No Longer Displaying From Dimedit Command

Apr 22, 2013

Suddenly, the multi line text editor in no longer displaying when I select "new" from within the DIMEDIT command.  I'm presuming that there is some sort of system variable that controls this, but I have not been able to find it in the help files.  The Mtext editor is working from the Mtext command, so I know it's not the DTEXTED variable.

AutoCAD 2010 :: MTEXT Is Rotated When Try To Edit Any MTEXT

Jul 12, 2011

Why is this happening?

The dwg was fine, then it crashed while changing from modle space to paper space...

When i recovered the dwg, EVERY MTEXT I try to edit becomes rotated vertically and stays that way when i close the edit box...

I do not recall hitting any buttons or making any keystrokes without my knowing...

Is there a way to get my text back to Horizontal and stay that way?

I tried setting the MTEXTFIXED to: 0, 1 & 2.

NONE of these options changed anything.

I NEED to have this fixed. more importantly, i need to know why this is happening sop that i can take steps to prevent this happening in the future...

I am currently working with the latest CAD available.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Have Window Selection When Using Adjust Space Command

AutoCAD 2010 :: Command Line Use Often Resizes Drawing Window?

Sep 13, 2011

An example is when I'm drawing a box, line etc and attempt to type "@5,-5", AutoCAD somehow jumps to a window on the side and if I don't notice will restore the window I'm working in and not complete the command I typed ("@5,-5" in this case).  If I do notice in time, then I have to pres ESC about 3-4 times, which will then have me back on the command line with the text "@5,-" already typed (as if that was were I paused while typing??).   The attached picture shows the dialog box on the top left, and the command line as if I've only typed "@", when after pressing ESC as mentioned the full "@5,-" text becomes visible on the command line? 

Also, as a note:  I've already ruled out that I'm pressing other keys that could possibly cause this...

I'm running AutoCAD (Mechanical) 2011

AutoCAD 2010 :: System Slows With Command Window Open?

May 27, 2011

With the command window displayed at the bottom of the screen, everything slows down.  The cursor momentarily freezes and it takes a second or two for commands to be fulfilled.  Also, the command window is about 7 lines high; in the past, I have shrunk it to maybe 3 or 4 lines but I cannot shrink this wndow. 

Then, when I push control-9 and the window disappears, everything speeds up to normal! 

I tried turning off my internet connection and my McAfee Viruscan as well. Running without the command window makes it hard to draft. Since I type shortcuts, I figure I must have hit the wrong key and unleashed something unspeakably terrible.

I am running AutoCAD version 10 on my PC, with Windows XP Professional.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Change / Edit Command Shortcut Keys

Mar 11, 2011

How do you change/edit command shortcut keys?  For example, I would like to change the keyboard shortcut key for the command COPY to "C" instead of "CO" and CIRCLE to "CR" instead of "C" because I use the COPY command much more than CIRCLE and I'd like to maximize my drafting efficiency.  In older versions of AutoCAD, you could open the acad pgp file and edit the info using "wordpad"; however, I have not been able to find that same file for this 2011 version.

My system is:

Gateway AMD Phenom II X4 820 quad-core processor 3 GHz
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit os
ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics
640 GB hard drive
6 GB DDR3 memory

AutoCAD 2010 :: Create Or Edit BLK File To Use With Data Extraction Command

May 24, 2013

I want to add an attribute to a BLK file I have from a past release.  Using this .BLK file, I can create a table from attributes in my drawing using a LISP routine.

It seems there is no way to create or edit a .BLK file that I can use for this in ACAD 2011, it only creates .DXE files. 

The problem with the .DXE file is that is saves the drawing that the original extraction is performed on.  When I use the .DXE in another drawing, it uses the original drawing data unless I manually "delete" the old drawing reference using the dialog box in the extraction wizard.

The .BLK file works perfectly, but I want to add an attribute.  How can I create a new, or edit my old .BLK file?

Will I have to reinstall an older version of AutoCAd to accomplish this?

AutoCad :: Does DIMEDIT Have Icon

Oct 31, 2012

Doing my reading and learning about dimensioning and so forth. In the book it is talking about using DIMEDIT but for the life of me I cannot find an icon for it in the ribbon.

I can activate the command in the command line with DED but the only icon in the ribbon is preset for oblique, and I want just the standard DIMEDIT.

They even show an icon in the book for it but in Autocad 2013 that icon is used for DIMOVERRIDE.

Is DIMEDIT just not included as an icon?

AutoCAD 2013 :: CHANGESPACE Command And MTEXT

Aug 22, 2013

I used the CHANGESPACE command today to bring a piece of mtext from model space to paper space. I had a background mask on the mtext and when it came into paper space, the height of the text box displayed right but the width stayed the same as it was in model space. I played around with column settings and also the WYSIWYG in editor settings. Nothing seemed to make difference. What am I missing? Using autocad 2014

Also is there an option to choose what is displayed in the command line with DI command?

AutoCad :: Command Qselect To Select All MText In Model Space

Jan 25, 2012

I used the command qselect to select all mtext in model space. I then went to the properties menue and changed all mtext to 1" height.

I've got five pages, each with a different viewport. Each viewport is the same scale as the previous one however the text size is not.

Mtext was created under the same style.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Mtext Command Causing High CPU Usage?

Jun 19, 2013

I'm currently using AutoCad 2013 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 with windows 7 64 bit.  I have 8 gb of ram and a core I7 processor which seem up to the task for the rather small files I create.  My issue is that whenever I initiate the mtext command or attempt to edit an mtext object, my cpu usage will jump from about 0 to 4% up to 20 to 30% and will stay at that level until I close the drawing.  This causes the fans to run constantly and makes working a little more jumpy.  I've tried removing AutoCad completely and reinstlling.  I've tried loading up AutoCAd 2014 (and subsequently removing it) and now I'm back to AutoCad 2013 and the problem persists. 

I'm assuming it has something to do with the computer or some other software that is running in the background.  It's odd that it would only affect this one command.  The computer is only 1 month old and I've done the hardware checks that Lenovo offers (no problems indicated).

AutoCAD LT :: No Longer Type Or Edit Text

Sep 9, 2013

I was working along being productive when I went to edit a text box.   I placed my cursor in a line of text to edit and when I start typing, the rest of the line dissapears!

When I try to start a new line of text or text box, the cursor simply moves along but lays down nothing.  I've tried changing font, color and style but nothing works.  

I've checked in many different existing files, all do the same thing.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Edit MTEXT Attribute Value

Dec 13, 2013

I'm having issues with updating an MTEXT attributes value using lisp.

If I insert my block (this is a titleblock) and run my lisp routine the MTEXT attribute updates fine.  Once I edit the MTEXT attribute with the MTEXT editor, and then run my lisp routine again, the MTEXT attribute will not update anymore.  All the single line (DTEXT) attributes update fine.  The lisp routine I created has worked for years...this is the first time I've tried it with an MTEXT attribute.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Mtext String In Group 1 Does Not Match Text Shown Or In Property Window

May 17, 2012

I have a routine that looks for an MText date stamp and replace the old date with a new date.  The problem is some MText strings appear encrypted.  Below is an example:

{\H1.121x;\C1; \LFY 2011-12\l \H0.6252x;04-30-11} This is what I should get when I extract the string (as shown in Property window)

(1 . "\pxi-2.1818,l4.3636,ql,t4.3636;{\fSymbol|b1|i0|c2") is what I get when I extract the group code.

I'm running AutoCAD 2012 on Windows 7.

GIMP :: Focus Is No Longer On Main Window

Jul 8, 2011

I'm not sure if Gimp developers are able to assist, but running Gimp inUnity seems to be a bit problematic at times. Because of the global menu,focus on the correct toolbox / area is needed. Furthermore, Unity / Gimpseems to apply the focusing a bit unintelligently. For example, if I moveto another workspace and return to the Gimp workspace, the focus is nolonger on the main window, but rather on the toolbox.
