AutoCAD 2013 :: Toggle Between Coordinates And Last Input
Jan 9, 2014
How do I get the last input to come up when pressing the up arrow key? Say I'm drawing a line & input @10,10. When I press the up arrow, the coordinates come up. How do I get @10,10 to come up? I've changed it before, but I can't remember how & I can't think of what to search for.

My need is to create up to 50 points from the same origin in a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system but I’d also like to have a labels for each point that show up in the feature tree.
Are there Inventor 2013 plugin (i.e., add-on, 3rd party, AP) to convert a list 3D Cartesian coordinate system locations (i.e., points) to Inventor to work points(x, y, z)?
I found that I cannot create 3D points in the assembly. Is this correct? I did find that an Inventor part may be used to create a 3D sketch that creates points in 3D space. In the past few days, I found two ways to create 3D points within a iPRT; the batch way uses an Excel file but it then does not allow me to name the points in the feature tree. The second way is to create them one at a time but that take way too much time.

I used to be able to open up 'Windows Explorer'-style boxes to select files and type in file names to save. Now, I must have toggled some option to only do this through the keyboard and mouse.

I have the following 8 points of XYZ-coordinates:
Location SampleID X Y Z Depth Elevation FGACDC-SS01 FGACDC-SS01-S1 -77.055876 39.00845 314.5 0.5 315 FGACDC-SS01 FGACDC-SS01-S2 -77.055876 39.00845 297 18 315 FGACDC-SS02 FGACDC-SS02-S1 -77.055886 39.008643 319.5 0.5 320 FGACDC-SS02 FGACDC-SS02-S2 -77.055886 39.008643 302 18 320 FGACDC-SS03 FGACDC-SS03-S1 -77.056203 39.008736 311.5 0.5 312 FGACDC-SS03 FGACDC-SS03-S2 -77.056203 39.008736 294 18 312 FGACDC-SS04 FGACDC-SS04-S1 -77.056203 39.008491 304.5 0.5 305 FGACDC-SS04 FGACDC-SS04-S2 -77.056203 39.008491 287 18 305
These 8 points are for 4 sampling locations with 2 depths for each sampling location. I used AutoCAD 2012 a little bit before and I am new in using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013. What are the key steps and tips of using the values of XYZ-coordinates listed the above-mentioned table to input manually into the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 program. Note: 4 sampling locations are in the 4 corners of a square lot and the 8 points should look like 8 corners of a box.

I just stated using AutoCAD 2006 this summer as an intern for an engineering department. The program has become pretty easy to use and I thought i was getting the hang of it.
All of a sudden, when i draw a line, circle, or another shape, i can't see the input bar that floats at the end of the line.
What im talking about is the small display that always sticks to the end of the object your drawing. It displays the angle the line is drawn at, you can see what measurement you're typing in.

I have coordinates for an aerofoil which I put into Autocad and plotted using pline. I have 52 points, what I want is to have more points on the aerofoil, i.e interpolate. I can probably create more points by averaging two adjacent y-points and two adjacent x-points but it would be much better if Autocad did this
the LIST command only gives the points i put in the program.

Somehow I activated a mode where when I click on an object, if there are several objects there, it will bring up a little menu to pick which one I want, similar to Inventor if you hover or say "Select other...". How do I toggle this mode? Turns out I like it sometimes but usually I don't need it.

I am looking for a way to change the toggle polar On/Off from F10 to F6. I already did it with the "delete" and the "Ortho" keys but i can't find the macro for the toggle polar on/off.
Has you can see on the picture for Delete it's ^C^C erase;
For ortho it's ^O
Maybe for Polar it's ^P but i could validate with you before i do any changes. (;

In Autocad 2012 the white cursor automatically toggles to black when moved onto the white background of paperspace. This does not occur in 2013. Imported the sysvaribles from 2012 into 2013. Cursor still does not toggle.

Another worsening thing in 2013: The isolate selection is a toggle
It's impossible to use isolate selection one after another to get deeper in complex models with many objects? Did I miss something?

I've been working on a project for a bit and so far everything had been working correctly. But recently I must have mistakenly changed a setting I don't know about because now I am experiencing an issue.
When I am trying to enter a unit at the pointer, for example, the length of a line I am creating, if I use a space, AutoCAD seems to be treating it as ENTER and thus I can not specify my unit correctly.
In other words, if I want my line to be 3'-9 5/8" in length, I can type in 3'-9, but as soon as I hit the space bar in order to type in the 5/8" AutoCAD automatically finishes my line at a length of 3'-9".

I am used to entering my fillet radius dimensions in the command line with [F]illet, [R]adius, then entering a value.
However with 2014 an extra prompt has been added (or enabled) which would mean the path was [F]illet, [D]imension, [Radius], value. I was getting frustrated with this and tried fiddling with the settings ([F]illet, [S]ettings) but could not sort it, and now when I do go to enter a dimension the only option I am left with is to "Select fillet arc", meaning I have lost the ability to enter a value in the command line.
How do I regain the ability to enter a numerical value for a radius?

I want record a macro to update a title block. We've revised the formatting of our title block. The block name is the same, only some appearances change.
I noticed in the insert command, "You can replace an existing block definition with an external file by entering block name=file name." This would be great. I could just type in the block name and the file name and AutoCAD would replace the current with the new version in the file. Then do an ATTSYNC and we're done.
*EXCEPT*
The path and the block name both have spaces in them. Is there any way to make AutoCAD stop taking the space as a return?

I've update AutoCAD 2012 to AutoCAD 2013 and I have a problem when I type "L" or "C" to draw a line or a circle, the command line says "Unknown command "L". Press F1 for help". It's the same thing if I fully type the command "line" or "Circle". But some other commands works normally.

Windows 7
Intel Core i7 2.93Ghz

I want to switch to relative coordinate input without using @. How is this done?
I have tried to change the settings in the Snap dialogue box, under Dynamic Input, where I have clicked on the Pointer Input, and the I have marked the Cartesian Format and the Relative coordinates.

I was wondering if there is a way for me to setup Autocad so that instead of putting in S 88d20'12" W I could put in something like S88.20.12W so that I don't have to mess with apostrophes or "d." Also, can i do something similar with distance settings? Where instead of saying 5'-6 1/2" I can say 5.6.1/2. I know I could convert the measurements into decimals, but that would waste the time I would be saving with a faster input method.

I made a toolbar button with the macros @, and tried also @ pause.
I need this in order to shorten the procedure for relative coordinate input, but, after pressing the button the last point is entered and i cannot continue entering values like in the manual input at the command like, like: @5,5
Even if i use the "@ pause " sequence it doesn't work.
How to wait for user input?

I am having this problem for the first time with my most recent install of 2014 on a Windows 8 computer. When copying a line or any other object along another line as a base, when I type the distance that I want to copy the object, it deselcts the autosnap vector that I had specified. For example, now when I copy an object along a line at various intervals, I have to move my mouse after entering the distance each time to enable the object snap to reselect the direction I want to copy it (along a line that should stay selected through the object snap: nearest).
Is there some object snap or dynamic input setting that I need to change?

We are a couple of students just starting at our finale thesis at the university. We got some problems that we can't find a resolution to.
We are going to use Ultramarine MOSES to simulate a ship. We got the drawings as 2d construction lines (.dwg) and 3d (.igs) of the ship, and need all the coordinates, x,y,z of all lines, to the coding in MOSES.
Our problem is to get these coordinates from autocad. We have tried to open the dwg in autocad and use dataextraction to get the coordinates without any sucess. We have also tried the igs without any sucess there as well.

Did 2013 change the way Direct Distance Entry is handled?
Say I want to start a line a distance of 3 from another line using Otrack and a running endpoint snap. Before, I could just hover over the existing line's endpoint, move the cursor in the right direction, and enter 3 on the keyboard. Now in 2013, I need to have Dynamic Input (F12) turned on to get this behavior. 2012 was not this way.

I've been using AutoCAD 2013 Korean in Windows XP and Windows 7(32/64bit).
I have a question the command prompt.
The line have the name of layer : 0 (default layer)
I create another layer. It's unicode
And I will change name of layer 0 to 도면층1.
But I can not input unicode character to command prompt.
But It was changed from property dialog.
Can I input unicode character from command prompt?.
Previous version(AutoCAD 2008,2009,2010,2012) CAD worked well.

I am trying to use the command PASTEORIG and it does not work for me in AutoCAD 2013 or Civil 3D 2013. Is this a known issue with a fix or am I missing something here?
I know for the longest time to paste to original cooridinates you had to select an object and right click and paste by using the menu. I also used to create a keyboard shortcut that let me use Ctrl+Shift+V, but now these workarounds do not work either. It echos the command on the command line, but does nothing, not even a returned error.
This is a pretty significant issue when working in the Civil field.

I just finished a project without using any coordinate system (it shows none), and now i need it to be in ll84 coordinate system. Is there a way to convert it? When i try to do it, the streets go to a random location (in a random longitude and latitude), and even if i move it to the right place it doesnt work, because the scale of the drawing doesnt seem to be right, and i cant manage to fix it.

I am struggling to create absolute coordinates on my autocad. I've done it before and tried on different computers drawing the same shape and it works but for some reason when i enter the points into autocad on my comp a line is created instead of a triangle.
