When I installed AutoCAD 2013 in our labs here at Joliet Junior College I must have selected (or deselected rather) some of the components that enable the online Autodesk 360 features. When I look in our OPTIONS dialog box I do not have the ONLINE tab and ALL items/panels in the ONLINE Tab of the Ribbon are grayed out and disabled?
How do I go about patching/repairing the workstations to we can access the online settings and features?
After installation of the AutoCAD 14 and setting up drawing parameters to support the .dwt template, from the Format menu, tried initiating the units, points, table style, and layer states command but get a prompt for indicating for example: "units" unknown command, "DDTYPE" unknown comand, etc.. What setting do I have to adjust in order for these commands to work?
When trying to draw or stretch a line or grip along an object in 2013 it does not follow the osnap like it does in 2012. For instance if I draw a line and then want to draw another line from the beginning of that line along that line using the nearest osnap and inputting a distance, the line follows the cursor rather than the snap.

I thought there was a setting for this? I want to adjust the Osnaps so they appear further away from the point. IE: As I want to pick the quadrant I have to get so close to the quadrant before the osnap shows. I can't remember the variable to adjust this distance.
I've noticed some issues with Osnap tracking not working consistently with a floating command line. It seems to happen especially when trying to track back along an object.
No problems whatsoever when command line is docked.
My company uses a menu system to organize standard symbols. The problem is that every time I insert one of these symbols I have to reset my Osnap settings because it clears all the check boxes.
A bit of difference is that the polylines do not have to be even closed. Any polyline gives me exactly the described behaviour, which is definitely not intended. Appears still not resolved.
creating a PDF out of my Illustrator document - I have a bunch of identical headers which I've literally copy & pasted in place on every page so they are exactly the same. Yet, some pages - when exported to a PDF - are inexplicably bold and ugly! I've exported the entire document at once so it's not cause of different publication settings. I just can't explain why the PDF displays some of the titles differently - when they are exactly identical. how I can fix this display/export error? It looks like I've accidentally used a bold font on some titles, which is not the case.
the activation is failed because the serial number i've enterred is not valid. i install AutiCAD LT on tha same computer with new Operating System(Win7)
But I can't apply it because the site states my account has not been activated. It places me into a loop to resend to my email to activate my account. I'm in a never ending loop. There seems to be a glitch to the site.
I am trying to activate factory design suite ultimate 2012 on a mac pc which is running on parallel desktop, but it give a error Reactivation Limit Reached.
Having only recently started using Autocad 2012 (I mainly used various versions of LT over the last 10+ years) I have noticed a few strange goings on.
It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes whilst in a command ("move" for example), when I go to click on an object or pull a window, a separate, totally random command activates itself. Why this happens, I just hit escape a couple of times & continue what I was doing.
I'm not sure if it is a case of me, in my haste, missing my intended object & hitting the right click button (which I use as a return & not a drop down menu).
I am developing a custom toolpalette, with a toolstrip and buttons on it. The botton asks user to select a point on the screen. But when the button is pressed it gets focus and tu user has to first click on the screen first to activate it and another click to select the point.
I have just purchased via ebay a retail version of CS4 extended. It loaded OK but when I tried to activate it, all I got was a cross at the end of the serial number I had entered. I can use it as a trial version for up to 30 days but this is obviously no use.
In Photoshop (Mac OS X), I typically use the pattern type cmd+shift+/ to open the help menu, type the phrase of the menu item I want to use, and then hit enter to activate the selected menu item.
I just checked Photoshop CC and the enter key does not seem to correctly behave as it should. Instead of activating the selected menu item, it just dismisses the help menu.
Is there a way to force the enter key to behave correctly, as it does in other apps?
When working with layer masks, which I love to use, they work perfectly until I click on the layer pallet to activate another layer, etc, and then when I go back to the masked layer, it no longer functions as a mask (ie: The brush turns back into a paint brush). I suppose what I'm asking is "how can I return (later) to a masked layer and still have it work as a mask?
So I open up Gimp after installing the new Maverick operating system on my iMac, and now for whatever reason I can't use my keyboard without it activating the hotkeys.. So If I'm trying to rename a layer or even save my project, the only letters that I can actually type are the ones that have not been assigned a hotkey. Basically I have a bunch of new files named "vvv" or "ggjg" filled with layers that I can't organize by name, which is slowing me down considerably!
I get a message when opening PE that the triIal version has expired. I never had a trial version. The next screen ask me to sign in and then tells me I am not connected to the web when in fact I am. Next it ask for a response code which I do have.
In selecting a point in a drawing to connect new poly lines to existing objects, is there a way to set the order to which osnap elements are used?I have perhaps 1/2 of the osnap element settings activated. End point, Mid point, Node, Intersection, etc.
When I go to select, it's like everything EXCEPT End Point is recognizing. And while I can go to right click, and select end point, I am now wondering, if besides the rt click, there is a way to preset the priority, or order in which the osnap elements recognize the type.Without resetting the settings each time.
I want to change the shortcuts for osnap on/off (default F3) and ortho on/off (default F8 ) to either F1 and F2, or some letter like q and w, or ctrl+w and ctrl+e.
I cant find them under cui-->all commands. Don´t know if they are there somewhere.
Is it possible to change them to either of the above shortcuts?
I prefer F1 and F2 if it´s possible, then q and w and last if neither of the other two is possible ctrl+w and ctrl+e.
My "Nearest" osnap is not even close to snapping to my circle. All other snaps are working fine, nearest snap are working on lines and rectangles, not at all on circles.
I'm having a few issues with my CS5 Photoshop - for some reason the other day, out of the blue, my Shift-F5 'Fill' shortcut started activating the 'Grow' command instead. I'd not altered any Photoshop settings recently (only loaded new actions a few days previously), so not sure why it happened.
I've tried resetting the shortcuts through Keyboard Shortcuts in the edit menu, but 'Fill' IS set to Shift-F5, with 'Grow' blank (no shortcut assisgned?).... and 'Fill' in the menu states Shift-F5 as the shortcut.
I've tried fixing Mac permissions, I've deleted the Ps 'Keyboard Shortcuts' file, I've deleted the Ps prefs file from Home > Library > Prefs. Weirdly, I expected a pref file to be in HD > Library > Prefs, but no Ps file there...? (but ID, AI etc all there?!). There is a "com.adobe.CSXS2Preferences" file - what does that relate to, as it doesn't look familiar?

I'm having a little problem exporting images that I slice up and put links into. I'm trying to make a website but it does not allow script and the only way I know how to export it so that the links work is as a .swf file. Is there any other way to do it so that it does not have to run on script or no? I am using Photoshop CS2 and ImageReady to export it.
I quite often like to use the wall grips to adjust the length of a wall. This works really well accept for the occasional situation were I want to snap to the face of another wall rather than the justification line. I know that I can snap to the face of a wall rather than the justification line because I have some files that it works fine in and other files that it does not work in.
How to turn on the perpendicular osnap. Whenever i open the draft settings window and get close to the perpendicular name it changes to midpoint. I can not seem to select the perpendicular name.
