AutoCAD 2010 :: Selection Before Command Not Happening?
Dec 7, 2012
I am not able to select item and then click command icon. Every time a command has to be started and only then the items to be selected. Drafting speed has reduced. also properties toolbar is also not working. basic props like col, lay etc can not be changed from the drop down menu.
how to turn off the little flyout menu that comes up when I am trying to use the LAYFRZ command and am selecting an object that is either extremely close to an object on another layer, or directly on top of an object on another layer. I am trying to quickly select a lot of layers to turn off, and when zoomed out I keep having to pick from the drop down menu which one I want to freeze.
I do not need to have this option on most of the time and would LOVE to turn it off as it is slowing me down a lot.
When in the hatch command in 2012 I go to select the layer I want to use, but only some of them appear in alphabetical order, and the rest seem to be all over the place making it quite difficult to find the layer I want. I've tried increasing the maxsort figure, but it makes no difference. How to make them appear in the correct order?
This is unexpected. I have a custom application class called TheApp. In it I have a private bool property called IsAssembly. In my command I set this value to true then create a new document. In the event handler, I check to see if the IsAssembly is true but it returns false. The only places this property is set is in the command and the event handler.
I am trying to model an electrical junction box but just cant trim some of the unwanted portions inside the junction box.
I have placed two solids, one merged into the other so that there is no gap between them and the transition is uniform. now i want to remove the extra bit of piece left inside.
When I select a hatch or polyline or any object with grips for that matter, and hold down shift to select multiple grips on the object or objects and then press my middle mouse button to pan or scroll it to zoom, the grips that I have selected de-select, meaning I have to set up the view so that all the grips I want to move are visible before selecting them.
This is only happening on some drawings (although it is most of them) and only when I use 2012 not 2011. Which system variable it is that has gone screwy that I need to reset? or is it something else?
without reiterating a lot of what is said in this thread: [URL] ......
This happen outside the potential malware infection?
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:
if i'll press DEL button it'll not delete or E+Enter same it will not erase. after slection Commond is not working first i need to run commond then work so i want to slect then if i use any commond it should be work
What to do to change the settings so you can select an item or items and then type in the command you wnat to use? This seems to have changed between Autocad 2012 and 2013 and only executes command if typed in first then itmes selected.
Just started up Elements 11 and the same issue as one month ago happened. All tools show up as a pencil, wether I want to select, clone, resize, doesn't matter, I only can draw a line. Last time I spend a whole night online with support and I had to de-install Elements and re-install.
But I really do not feel like this is how a system should work that every month I have to reinstall the program.
I'm currently having diffulties editing my selections, specifically lines, hatching etc through the properties command. When I select a polyline or hatch and then select properties it shows that there is no selection. However if I select text I can edit the text style, but I can't change the colour. I've tried to change back to the default settings but that hasn't work.
've recently noticed something uncommon when working with Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.8.x.When I naturally tried to select a Layer by the [ Command + Click ] (let's say) shortcut, it failed. This little thing was driving me nuts, and I know it must be getting some people hairless, too.
Anyway(s), by looking another read-only thread, I noticed the problem has not been solved and some pretty lame recommendations were given. By try, I finally found the solution and was able to fix this little annoyance that maybe we've all been through. downgrading to 5.5 again like I was considering:
1) In Photoshop, make sure the Move Tool is selected by pressing "V"; 2) In the tool's submenu, forget about selecting/marking "Auto-Select". 3) Although, make sure "Layer" is selected right next to the "Auto-Select" button, and you should be done as I am.
I just got AUTOCAD 2013 and I have problem using MOVE command. With my previous version AUTOCAD I was able to move one by one every line from the object I created. Now with the new version when I use MOVE command, not only one line is moved, it is moved the whole object (Like the object is a block, but is not).
How can I move only one single object from my drawing?
After I choose named UCS, the view rotates accordingly. Sometimes having named UCS as orthogonal works but I still prefer having world axis as orthogonal in my monitor. How to change default?
my command bar is stuck in the middle of my screen and it won't allow me to dock it at the bottom of the screen. Nor will it allow me to move or resize it(They're both grayed out.). Yes, the allow docking toggle is enabled and it does allow anchoring both left and right. I've tried everything I could find through F1.
What command turns off the annoying "selection dialog box"? I don't know if it's new or not, but it started showing up this week. I see the purpose, but don't like it or the fact that autocad makes difficult to turn off a feature after it puts it there without warning. Attached is a screen shot of it.
I am running AutoCAD Map 3D 2011. When i use the ID command to acquire x,y coordinates by snapping to an object, it gives me only one decimal place. When i do the command out in space, it gives me 4 decimal spaces. I need to get at least two decimal places while snapping to objects. Examples below:
id command (out in space, not using osnap)
X = 4006431.3366 Y = 359556.5635
id command (snapping to entity)
X = 4006252.3000 Y = 360712.5000
by the way, my units precision is set to .00 and it doesnt seem to make any difference with the id command.
I have been using the MVSetup command to adjust a view port orientation however when I do this the Pickfirst command is changed to 0 - it was only by chance I discovered this and was able to change it back. Also, is there a command to reset all changes made through MVSetup in a viewport ?
I'm a designer working for a company that specializes in pressure vessels. I accidentally stumbled upon a Youtube video showing the capabilities of the 'pv' pressure vessel command.
I used to have my ribbon and commandline next to each other but now whenever I try and put them back next to each other it always ends up with one on top or one on the bottom. I added a picture to try and explain this!
I'm using the ED command in AutoCAD 2012. I have my texts verticals, but I want to edit them in horizontal position, however when I active the command and I select the text, the edit option appears in vertical position. What can I do to control this option? Is there some variable to control this option?
