AutoCAD Architecture :: Difference Between DIM And DIMLIN?
Nov 16, 2012
Back in the day of AutoCAD in architecture school I would use the command DIM to dimension something.
Of course later when I type that in now I can't click anything and it doesn't work. I know to use Dimension Linear (DIMLIN) now but I was wondering what's the difference between the two- possilby between AutoCAD Arch and the regular version?
I updated my computer to windows 7 32 bit and need the file: AdskHwCertificationDatabase.xml - version 17.1.0.4 so that I can find out the correct driver for my OS and my quadrofx 1700 graphics card. Autodesk doesn't support 2008 Architecture and the on;y file I can find is buried in a torrent file with a pirated copy of 2008 and I DO NOT wish to download that.
I've never really understood the reasons behind choosing between shx and ttf fonts. It always looked to me that the shx fonts were more of a creation solely due to pen plotters where a filled font was slower to plot. But since the shx fonts are still out there and the pen plotters aren't, is this because of some other advantage or is it just a case of supporting legacy drawings?
i have some drawings that i wish to print in B&W, some have monochrome.ctb in the selection box and the other one's have monochrome.stb, what is the difference between ctb and stb and can I changed them somehow?
The problem I am having is I can not print in B&W when the drawings are using stb but can when they are ctb
Im currently using Autocad Architecture, is it true that Autocad Architecture creates a bigger file size compared to Revit Architecture? Lets say that same structure and components are created.
The content browser in AutoCAD Architecture 2013 does not seem to be working on a standard users computer. The profile has been rebuilt alongside a repair/reinstall through the control panel.
Ctrl+4
Tools > Content Browser
and typing content browser in the command do not result in anything.
I do not get why new Archicad Architecture has 3d modeling when Revit architecture already provided for it. What is the different between those two? I really want to know the difference. It bothers me somewhat about them.
Question - What is the difference between the world UCS and the top UCS?
I am working in a fairly large model and when I have the UCS set to world and do the ID command I get the correct coordinance. However when I am in a plan view and UCS is set to top the co ordinance come in roughly 600 feet different. How to set the UCS so that co ordinance will be the same no matter what UCS is being used? Or explain why this would be?
What actually is the difference between the standard sheet eg ARCH D (36x24) and ARCH Expand D (36x24) sheet sizes? this have to do with printable margin areas?
I want to delete unnecessary templates. I use metric ones, and there are two metric assembly templates. What are, in general, the differences between assembly templates?
There are many style differences between drawing templates, but for part and assembly?
I am joining plines on the same layer, etc. I was taught to use PEDIT-Join but noticed that I can do the same function with just the JOIN command. Is there any difference? Is one better/safer to use?
except for the quantity of the line . the case is I was taught to make a title block tempelate. For each single item, like text"STUDENTS NAME " or "PART NMAE" , and inluding the attributes, I was instructed to use single line text instead of mutliple line. I was told that single line won't change. What does it mean it won't change?
I feel that single line is more precisely controlled ,while the multiple line text is more ofen used in puting the notes in a drawing. But in what case use what I am confuesd. Especailly when make the tible block, It seems to use the single line text is the unique way to make each feature in its status.
why there is huge difference in Dynamic Simulation results when you use two different input methods? I used input grapher and in linear ramp, I entered input (time/ distance) manually for 6 points and ran simulation. Then I used Spline and used a text file to enter SAME data and it gave me at least 10 times different results. Can't figure out why this difference. This changes my entire design.
