View 2 RepliesHow do I turn on the dialog boxes when I enter commands? I finally found HPDLGMODE for the hatch command, but I would like it for all commands, especially array.
I have my FILEDIA set to 1.
I am difficulty getting the options dialog box to open (under the file menu "red A" dropdown list, options button). When I click on it, all of the buttons on top go gray and nothing appears. When I click on the black workspace, I get a compluter bell sound.
What I've tried to do to solve the problem is restart the computer and shutdown the computer.
I have the following function that opens the File "Save As" dialog box. It gets fed a drawing number and allows the users to browse to a folder where they want to save it. The problem is when a file already exists with the same name. A message box pops up letting the user know that the file already exists and do they want to overwrite it. The can pick yes to overwrite, but it doesn't really overwrite the old file, it seems like it opens it and then crashes when the rest of the program tries to run.
What I want to do is create a loop to determine if the file already exists. If it does not exist, then save the path and drawing name as usual.
If the drawing exists, I want to pop up a dialog giving two options; Overwrite, or Rename the current drawing. If they pick Overwrite, I can have the program delete the old existing drawing and then just save this one. If they pick Rename it will loop back to the "Save As" dialog giving the user the ability to change their drawing name (like add a "-1" to it.
Public Function GetFilePathAndName(ByVal dwgNumber) podDWG = ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument podDB = podDWG.Database podEd = podDWG.Editor podPSO.InitialDirectory = "W:Work_in_Process" podPSO.InitialFileName = dwgNumber podPSO.Filter = "AutoCAD DWG Files|*.dwg" podPFR = podEd.GetFileNameForSave(podPSO) Select Case podPFR.Status Case EditorInput.PromptStatus.OK SaveDwgName = podPFR.StringResult Case EditorInput.PromptStatus.Cancel MsgBox("User Cancelled.") End Select Return SaveDwgName End Function

And posts elsewere, there are two more buttons on the bottom of the options dialog box, under the user preferences tab, that I am missing. One is Initial setup and the other is default scale list.
I've always used the spacebar as Enter, it speeds up the way i work.I've just load 2013 and i'm using the Drafting & Annotation workspace, now when i use the spacebar it jumps to another command, i have to use the enter key to get it to do what i want.For example.
Type H, (spacebar), S, (Spacebar).
This should be - Hatch > Select,
instead i get 'Hatch' then it cancels the hatch commands and jumps to 'Stretch'
I have recently started working on a project in metric and have a weird (to me) issue when I try to plot. There are literally hundreds, of scale options in the Scale popup, most of which make no sense to me. I know that I need 1:25, or 1:100 to fit on the page I am printing to. How do I remove or filter out all of the others such as 1:100 3_1_1_1_1_1? I don't even know what that notation means.

Is there any possible way to enter a G Code into AutoCAD to end with the result of a 2D drawing of what my CNC has made? I have the code from the machine, and am not sure how to input it into the program to draw the face the CNC has cut out.

Which means my workflow has come to an absolute and complete stop since I can no longer export proper 32-bit TGA files that are required for import into other software.
I've deleted all the preferences inside ~/Library/Preferences though that did not fix it.
Whenever I save something as a PNG, Photoshop asks if I want to save it in interlaced format. Is there a way to set a default for that so it doesn't ask me every flippin' time?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSometimes when I save an image as a jpeg the dialog box defaults to a higher compression and lower image quality. I change it to the highest quality but when I save the next image it is again at the lower quality setting. How can I get it to default to the highest quality setting or at least stay at the last setting.

Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat happened to the stacking optons n the export dialog when adding the exports back into the catalog? After watching Jared Platt's creativelive course, I started creating my PSD's by exporting them in bulk, adding them back into the catalog and stacking them on top of the original raw files. After updating to LR 4.2 I don't see the option in the export dialog any more.

Now when type in open the dialog comes up (not a filedia issue). When I click the "look in" pull-down in the open dialog it goes blank and I am unable to browse any folders. I've tried rebooting.. Should I reinstall?
how to modify the options in the save dialog?Every time I save a file and have to choose the file type, I have to scroll through obscure and obsolete file types. Sure, I might need someday to save Scitex CT, or Photoshop DCS, but the chances are very slim. Some people surely use PIXAR and TARGA, but I don't. What the hell is an IFF? If I ever need a Portable Bit Map (really?) file it would be great if I could find it in a user defineable option pull down. I can pretty well guarantee that the file types I need are PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PNG and once in a blue moon, GIF.

I'm trying to import a .SAT file into ACAD 2000. I'm using the ACISIN command. Usually I don't have any problems with this. When I find a .SAT file that is too recent, I use HOOPS 3D Part Viewer v13.15 for ACIS to save down the file.
Lately I've been trying to import some Colson caster CAD files from 3dcontent central and I have a problem when I get to the ACISIN portion of my procedure. I get this message
"Modeling Operation Error:
Missing integer in restore file.
Unable to read the ACIS file"
The file looks fine in HOOPS. I'm not sure why it's not coming into ACAD. I used to not have this problem but I'm having it a lot lately.
if I select a line, then enter the move command, the line unselects also when I select a line, then hit delete, the line is still there both of these used to work

Just reviewing the discussion board, I find that there is an indication that this error has been around since longer than AutoCad 2000.
We are currently using AutoCad 2010 in combination with Cadworx 2010 and still encounter the "Missing Integer in Restore File" error randomly. Once this error is encountered, the drawing file is rendered virtually useless.
I have been having several problems with AutoCAD 2014.
1) When I make a line-I used to be able to type in the start point, angle, length, and end point. Now I make a line I don’t have that option. Furthermore I hover the muse over line and try to make an extension of for example 3.5" from the start point after I hit enter it will put the start point at what i think is a random point of the screen. How can get the options back.
2) When i press-pull an object-When i would press-pull an object i would (with my mouse) drag it in the direction that wanted it to go hen type in the length. So if i were to pull it to the right then type in the number it would go to the right.How can change that
In ACAD 2007 when I create a new UCS, the dialog box shows as current an unnamed UCS which I can then rename. In 2014, this doesn't happen - I have to do all that using the command line. Is there some setting to get the dialog box to work?

I recently upgraded AutoCAD LT to 2013. It now appears that we need to drop the save as format back down to 2010 format.
I realise that there is a reg edit for "defaultFormatForSave" which can be changed to "48" but when a user first runs AutoCAD LT the setting is overwritten.
change the default save format to the 2010 format?
I would like to eliminate a mouse click in my program. I use getstring to allow the user to either enter in an integer or a distance used for labeling in a drawing, but I could eliminate the need for the user to then click an option that completes the label if I only knew how to determine if the entry is an integer (such as 5 or 15) or a distance (such as 24" or 36").
