AutoCAD 2013 :: Repeating FILLET Command When Using Keyboard?
Dec 31, 2013
I want to make it so that whenever I type F for FILLET the MULTIPLE option is selected so I don't have to type F then M. Is there a way to make it so that when I type F it always gives me the multiple option without my having to type F then M? How would I do that?
I have placedmy own Origin in the center of the screen. I am constantly using construction lines from this origin using the offset command with various offset lengths. What I am trying to achieve is to enter a numeric value and press enter on a continuous cycle. Without Selecting construction line, Offset, Distance, Select Line, Select side. I have tried using Macro and CUI in the manage tab without success. I understand the concept, but lack the knowledge to succeed. I have a nose bleed from continuously hitting a wall.
I am working on a lisp to scale drawings of various sizes to a predetermined size. After the lisp has run and scaled the drawing, the prompts for base point and reference point run a second time. How can I get this to run through once? I think it has something to do with the way the reference length is being entered. The base point and first reference point are the lower left corner of the drawing, while the second reference point is the lower right corner.
(COMMAND "SCALE" "ALL" "" (SETQ A (GETPOINT " SELECT BASE POINT :")) "R" A (GETPOINT " SELECT REFERENCE POINT : ")) "1'-5"")
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 use Rhino to make pendant models but I find that Rhino's fillet function very slow and inefficient, so I'd like to know if Autodesk would be better at doing that.
I have the outline of a solid body guitar that I drew with spline, extruded and now trying put a 1/2" fillet radius along the edges, top and bottom.
Using the 3d fillet command produces an error, and extruding a profile along the edge path doesn't work either.
Attached is the spline outline, the red part is what needs the fillet, but the white part does not. However, they can't be extruded into a 3d solid unless their joined!
I'm trying to create these rounded divots in a solid. However the only way I know how to get this sort of shape is with a revolved PLINE - which I of course can't use to subtract material from my regular old box.
The shape I want is something like this: (the 2D is a profile of what I want in the end, a divot in a box)
I have keyboard commands set up for exporting my .idw drawings to .pdf format (PD for me.) I would also like to set this up for exporting my drawing to .dxf format. I think this can be done with a macro that can be activated by a keyboard command, but I could be wrong. I don't want to do this with an iLogic.
Usually when creating a fillet weld it displays a texture of a wavy surface. I can only get a smooth surface. Is there a way to modify weld appearance to what I'm used to?
We are having slow keyboard response while typing in CAD 2010. (It happened a little while using 09 as well). We will start typing a command and our cursor will get ahead of what we're trying to type. Our dynamic input is OFF.
After installing the VBA Module, I get the message "Unknown command "VBARUN"". I've rebooted, restarted and tried reinstalling the VBA Module to no avail.
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.
I recently installed photoshop CS2 on a new computer and the default keyboard command for the arrows to move anything 1 pix at a time is not functioning, I can not find where in the keyboard command editor is the tab for manually inputing the arrows for pix movement.
In CS4 I used the keyboard command, command+space bar, to zoom in to a area I selected with the marquee tool. I used this all the time. With CS6 the same keyboard command works differently. I don't have the option to select the area I want with the marquee tool. Is there a way to do it in CS6?
A few weeks ago I had a panel stuck up at the top and I could not get it down and one of viewers gave me a keyboard command to get it down....it is doing it again!!!! but I know how to fix it , but I forgot what the keyboard command was (it is an age thing).
In CS3 I could use the keys CTRL ALT ~ to select the lighter areas (luminosity mask). Those keys wont select anything in CS4. Is there a new combibnation?
There must be some keyboard command to duplicate a graphic style since I seem to do that often unintentionally. What is the command, and can I turn it off? CS 5.5, Mac, OSX 10.8.2.
My keyboard delete key has stopped functioning in autocad regardless of the .dwg file. Also my right click options when an object is selected is now exactly the same as if nothing were selected. I cannot double click to edit text nor double click to edit a table cell.
I want to set up a keyboard shortcut for quickselect. I opened the CUI right clicked to create new temporary shortcut, put the command into the line and selected shift and Q. There some gobbledy **** message about it being also assigned to another command but that it will prioritise the one at the bottom of the tree, and my new shortcut IS at the bottom of the tree so far as I understand the phrase.
Bur when I try to use it, the shift key is not recognised. I press shift and q but all that comes up in the command line is q.
In the process of migrating from 2010 to 2013, all seemed okay at first. Now when I open 2013 i have no ribbon and my keyboard is no responding to shortcuts. For example in 2010 is used the keyboard i key to insert blocks.
If I do a command such as regen, or switch between tabs/modelspace, generally anything that seems to involve a screen update, then immediately following that if I try something like a Shift-Tab type of operation, there is no response from autocad until I move the mouse. This is consistent if hardware accelertion is turned on or off, so I can't go blaming the video drivers just yet.

When i go to use the rad or dia. command, and i click on an arc surface (in paper space) the rad dimension will jump to the nearest arc, not the arc that i need dimensioned.
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.
