AutoCAD 2013 :: Change The Cursor Color In Command Line?

Mar 5, 2013

Is there a way to change the cursor color in the command line in AutoCAD 2013?

When I change the background (active command) to black, the cursor blends into it and not visible. Can’t see where is my current position when editing coordinates. The command background was black and text white for the last 10 years for 20 drafters; we would like to keep it this way

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Command Line Next To Cursor?

Oct 18, 2012

I had a problem this morning where for some reason I needed to do a drawing recovery on a map - which is fine, all seems well.

The problem is that now when I type a command, it doesn't appear next to the cursor anymore. It's not really a NEED having it there, but I've gotten to like that in the newer CAD versions, and now I can't find the setting that makes it come back. Sure I CAN type everything and have it show just at the bottom of the screen, but I'd rather have my dynamic field back.

How I can restore it?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Cursor Change To Draw Line But Line Doesn't Appear

Dec 5, 2011

I have a problem with a recently downloaded version of Inventor.  When I start a new drawing all I get is a blank blue screen instead of one with a grid display.  If I start a line I can see the cursor change to draw the line but a line does not appear.  I don't know if it something with how I installed the program or just system settings.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Command Line Sluggish And Cursor Freezes In 2012?

Apr 26, 2012

Since last week (4-19-2012) Our users have been expierencing cursor issues and freezes with Civil 3d 2012.  Entering commands in the command line very slugish, pressing the shift key to select / de-select, trim, open osnap menu, ext.

We are running Win7pro6d bit quad core machines with 6gb ram, ATI FirePro V4800 (FireGL), Intel Xeon ES640 (2.67 ghz).  AutoCAD Civil 3D(SP2) and all hotfixes installed.

This problem just started one week ago and It started with the cursor jumping all over the place when crossing objects. However; we now have very sluggish command line entry, 2 - 3 seconds after typing till it shows up, and cursors freezing when pressing the shift key for any reason.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Command Line Appears Again After Plot Command?

May 15, 2012

I press CTRL+9 to make the Command Line disappear while drawing. When I plot (or when doing a plot preview) , the Command Line appears again by itself. So I always have to turn the Command Line off manually after each plot

The bug still happens;

- if Dynamic Input is turned off or on
- if I plot to a real device or in PDF
- if the Cammand Line Palette i docked or floating.

This is not an issue in AutoCAD 2012 so I guess it has to do with the new way they programmed the revamped Command Line palette in 2013.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Cursor Color Toggle In Paperspace?

Aug 20, 2012

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.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Cut Line Command?

Apr 13, 2013

I've been searching for a command that could actually cut lines for purpose. For example, if I'm drawing a 2 line crossed, wish I could cut the 2 lines so they are now 4 segments. On a circle, I could actually draw a line that pass trough the circle on cut it off the way I wish. Does such command exists for autoCAD? Very often, I've many lines at the same time that I wish I could cut with a single one. The problem is that I don't wish to trim 'em and extend (losing time and long process). Sure there is also the div cmd, but this isn't what I'm seeking for.

AutoCad 2D :: Change Layer From Command Line?

May 31, 2012

At one point I had a layer command that I could select a line, type in the layer I wanted (with no extra prompts required) and it would change. The best part is if the layer didn't exist it would automatically create it (without prompting me Y/N).

Using LAYMCH in the command line is very close. However I have to press N for name, then enter the layer. If it is a new layer, it prompts me Y/N.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Closing Command Line

Apr 3, 2012

I turned off the command line because I don't use it or need it on my screen.  But each time after I do a plot preview the stupid thing automatically turns itself back on.

Is there a way to permanently turn this thing off because apparently hitting the "x" on the toolbar isn't working correctly.

Also, why did they do away with the flyout option on the commandline.  At least then I could dock it somewhere and collapse it.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Command Line Prompts

Apr 6, 2013

As an Autocad user since Rel. 2.1. My favorite is when attempts to draw a line using feet and inch input while units are set to decimal. How "Point or option keyword required" is supposed to guide using the correct units setting? With DYN Input on, the red outline offers even less information. Are the prompts user editable?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Command Line Is Off Screen?

Jul 13, 2012

My command line is partially off the screen as shown in the attachments below. It started doing this after a reboot this morning.  I can't drag it, select it, or find a way to move it in any way.  I tried changing the resolution of my monitor thinking it might "bump" it back on the screen.  I'm probably missing something easy but I can't seem to make any difference.  Is there a command to prevent the floating option?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Put Spaces In Command Line Input

Oct 1, 2012

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?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Command Line Won't Stay Where Required

Nov 28, 2012

I like my command line to be near the left hand corner and not "docked" (meaning taking up the entire bottom of the screen) like this:But each time I plot, and open AutoCAD 2013, It snaps back to the middle like this:

I've tried saving my workspace (I'm very familiar with customizing and how that all works) but it just always snaps to the middle.I really like the floating command line and found that if I have it just to the right of my UCS icon at the bottom left of my screen, it's out of my way, but gives me the lines of info I want.

How to make it stay near the corner and not snap back to the middle?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Autolisp Expressions On Command Line?

Oct 16, 2012

For as long as I have been using Autocad (10 yrs), if I typed an autolisp expression (in brackets) on the command line any output from the espression was echoed to the command line.

E.g. I type (+ 2 2) on the command line and Autocad returns with 4.

I installed SP 1 for Autocad 2013 and this bevaviour ceased, i.e. 4 did not appear in the command window although it did appear on the text screen.

I then un-installed SP1 and "normal" behavior resumed. 

When SP 1.1 came out I installed that and again find that I do not get the returns from autolisp functions eched to the command window, only to the text screen.

I have now uninstalled SP 1.1, which I sort of hate to do, because I use those one line Autolisp functions quite alot.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Command Prompt Only Shows Last Line

May 1, 2013

We (the entire office) haven't had this issue in 2012, but in all of our 2013 installations, this is occurring.

In 2012, several rows are displayed in the command prompt, say for example you do a distance command, there are two rows of text showing the information the user might want to see.  It displays the first row of, distance, the angle in XY plane and the angle from XY plane.  The second row displays the delta X, delta Y and delta Z.

In 2013, it only displays delta X, delta Y and delta Z.  The user have to hit "F2" to invoke the "AutoCAD Text Window" to view the first line of text.

I hope there is a variable setting for this, and not an oversight by Autodesk.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Command Line History Doesn't Scroll?

Aug 28, 2013

Why is it that when I click in the command line history field (when docked) and roll the mouse wheel I can't scroll it up or down? There is no visible scroll bar until the cursor is moved to the other side of the window (a long way on the 30" display), and grabbing this will scroll the command history, yet the wheel wont work.

If the command line is undocked and the disclosure triangle is clicked to display the history, the scroll wheel DOES scroll the list.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Cannot COPY / PASTE Text Into Command Line

Jul 9, 2013

I am using AutoCad 2014

I want to paste text (numbers) into the command line as I am drawing a line.

In AutoCad 2011/2012 if I paste (CTRL+V), then the numbers in the clipboard will be pasted into the command line and all I have to do is push enter.

In AutoCad 2014 if I paste (CTRL+V), AutoCad will paste the clipboard contents as an mtext object into the drawing.

How do I change the behavior of AutoCad so that I can use "CTRL+V" in the command line?


For clarification these are the exact steps I am trying to do:

1. {type L}

2. {click a point in the drawing}
3. {type CTRL+V} // paste a number as a distance into command line
4. {type ENTER}  

I know I  can right click the command line and select paste. This option is unnacceptable for my use. I want to be able to CTRL+V text into the command line.
