With all of my “plan view” blocks I add to the tool palettes I set “prompt for rotation” to yes. I am manually doing this every single time I add a block and of course I hear about it if I forget to do so.
Where would I set this as a program default?
How do I keep the tool palette from going back to the default after I set it up?

I've tried re-saving workspace to a new one. It won't work. It also doesn't matter if I open application using shortcut or by double-clicking DWG file.
I've been using Revit a lot more and dont remember a lot about ADT and AutoCAD Architecture.
I've been getting reacquainted with creating sheet templates and smart tags for a project I'm working on. I have the Sheet creating okay but when I placed a view on the sheet and tried to tag it with the default view title from the call out tool palate all I get is the name of the view and placeholders for the view number and view scale. It says "View Number" and "viewport scale." From what I remember it should at least give me question marks if its linking but it doesn't look like its making any connections.
If you can reset the default No of Rows and Columns that are generated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am installing AutoCAD for the first time in a lab at a high school. We have roaming profiles for each user. When I launch AutoCAD for the first time as a user, the program goes through it's first time configuration, check the "Privacy Statement" and uncheck the "Show at Start up" on the welcome box. After I log off and log back in and launch the program again, it goes through the setup again and I don't have the setting I had changed on the previous launching of the program. I think it has something to do with the roaming profiles because when I login as myself (I don't have roaming profiles) it works fine.

I am trying to create a pallette , where I can use routinely used small symbols(saved as drawings) for insertion into a drawing.
I've created a pallette but unsure how to get my symbols into the pallette.
I have a tool palette with our typical symbols which are blocks. All the blocks on the tool palette shows correct and the proerties of the blocks are correct but when I decide to drag a block in from the tool palette, no matter which block of 30, the same block inserts. How do I get the palette to insert the correct block.Using ARCH 2013, 64-bit, windows 7.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a series of block references in a tool palette which I want to explode once inserted. Simple I think, just set the 'explode' property on the tool palette icon.
Wrong. What actually happens is that in my case where the block refernce is simply two blocks inserted on different layers, the tool palette will insert onto the layer specified, and then explode, moving each block from its original later, onto the layer the host block is inserted on.
For example:
BlockRef_A consists of two enties:
BockRef_1 on Layer1Blockref_2 on Layer2
Using the tool palette to insert and explode using the 'use current' for the destination layer, I get the following:
BlockRef_1 on 0
BlockRef_2 on 0
Both the destionation layer (Layer1 Layer2) already exist in the target drawing.
It looks to me like autocad is importing the block, exploding it, moving it to the required layer.
This doesn't happen to any other entities, if there's a block that consists of a mix of parts, only the block references within it get moved to the destination layer.

How to change the default tool settings in Gimp?
When I open Gimp, I want all selection tools to have antialiasing turned off, all thresholds set to 0, default brush set to 1 pixel, and erase tool set to hard erase.
How can I achieve this? (I use gimp for pixel drawings.)
I am trying to set up a standard text style converter for multiple companies (32 in all). All are using the same style names, but they change the fonts for their preferences.
What I am trying to do is come up with a tool pallete / tool bar macro to change all styles in a drawing to the new fonts they choose.
Here is my string: ^C^C-STYLE;TITLE-1;COMIC SANS MS;;;;;;;
What am I missing so the spaces in the font name are not read as ENTER in the command? I have tried <font here>, 'font here', "font here", <font here>, (font here)
If there is an easier way other than copy and paste into a new template with them defined.
I like that in the hatch command, you can select multiple boundaries at a single time, hit ok, and be done with your hatching. However, when hatching from the tool palette, you can only select one boundary at a time, forcing you to constantly repeat the command. Is there a system variable that controls this type of behavior for the tool palette?

I am currently using Autocad 2014 and I am attempting to insert a dynamic block from a tool palette. I would like to click on a dynamic block in the tool palette and have it prompt for the (uniform) scale. It seems simple enough but either all the dynamic properties are lost or it is inserted at 1"x1" (the scale of my original block). How to get this to work?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSince AutoCAD 2013, I'm not able to use tracking when inserting block from tool palette. Example, I want to insert a door at 6 inches from a wall. I click the door from the tool palette, leave a tracking point at the wall corner, move the cursor in the right direction and type 6 follow by enter. The door is insert randomly in the drawing. It was working perfectly in previous release.
Actually I had to insert the door anywhere in the drawing and moving it at the right place and rotate it if required, it is very tedious.
Noticed that the Dynamic Blocks in the Annotation Tool Palette are missing? Let me rephrase that, in the Tool palette they show up, but the dwg's that they reference are missing. I have 4 users that are currently testing Civil 3D 2013 and all of them are missing the files.
I'm sure I could copy them from 2012, but still.
Experiencing problems with the dimension tool since upgrading to Corel Draw X6 at this end, which hasn't been resolved with the updates.
I work in mm. The system doesn't remember the default settings if I change my preferences for it to measure in mm via the customisation window or the toolbox as it used to in previous versions. When I open the program again or start a new document, the measurement default keeps changing back to ["] (inches). Sometimes, it will jump back to inches after I change the default to mm when I'm working on the same document.
Same problem seems to be happening with the other units of measure available as well.
Current workaround - the only time it seems to remember my settings is if I change the default to mm and then save a document.
I can fwd a video screen capture which shows the problem if that would work.

I use RGB for almost everything I do.
I've got everything set to work in RGB, no problem. New documents are created in RGB. My palette on the right of the screen is always RGB unless I load an existing non-RGB document. Everything saves in RGB and prints in RGB.
Except...when working on something and attempting to change or apply a Line Color or Fill Color, I will click on the color option, a Color Dialog window appears...and if I click on Palette, the Pantone Spot color palette appears.
I physically have to go in every time, bring up the palette tree, and hunt for the RGB palette. I never had to do this with earlier versions...I always got the RGB palette as the first choice, maybe based on the last used?
I've gone through all the setup options and customizations. I can't find where to set the RGB palette as the default in this procedure.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I open CAD, a blank Drawing1 file opens. I know that under Options, you are able to modify certain settings. I also know that you can edit more specific settings such as what layers and text styles for that Drawing1 file under your C drive. I think it is:
C:UsersAppDataRoamingAutodeskC3D 2014enuSupport
I have done this before but I cannot remember how. An example of what I am trying to say is in the Drawing1 that opens when you start CAD, it does not have a layer called TOPO. I want to have it so that everytime I have a new drawing1 open, it automatically has the TOPO layer in it. I know that you can do this by changing the file it references in the C drive, but I forgot how I did it.
I am using Map 3D 2010/Civil 3D2010/AutoCad 2010. Is there a way to change the default settings in the Map Import dialog box? I want to "Create Object Data" and "Import Polygons as Closed Polylines" with every shp file I import. It would be nice if I could have these parameters selected by default instead of having to check them both with every shp file I import. Is this possible?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using autocad for many years but have never experienced this situation before. I have received a simple Electrical layout file from a consultant, after opening this file my settings in AutoCAD changed, for examples the snap angle to the cursor changed to 337.18 degree, the selection box (pick box) went to maximum and a few other settings also changed. I had to manually go back to the options and change some of the settings back to what I normally have which is very much similar to default settings. But I could not change everything back to normal. I had AutoCAD 2010 and later installed 2012 to see if it would fix the problems. What surprised me is that when install fresh AutoCAD 2012, the default settings is now changed to the settings that has changed in my previous AutoCAD.I would like to change the settings back to normal.
