AutoCAD Architecture :: Trim Command Skipping Lines

Mar 11, 2013

We recently upgraded to Autocad Architecture 2013 and the trim command is driving me mental. Lets say I have a window mullion pattern with 4 intersecting lines and I want to trim out the center. (see attached example) I start the trim command, then right to left window to select the 4 lines, then use another right to left selection window to trim out the lines. It always leaves on of the lines leaving me to have to click one more time. This is a huge pain when you have to do this multiple times. That is a lot of extra clicks. What gives? I never had this issue before.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Trim Command Skipping Lines?

Oct 1, 2013

When I initiate the trim command with a double enter (i.e. select all mode), I usually first zoom into the area I want to trim so I see no other objects, then start the trim <Enter><Enter> option, then pick the lines I want to trim.  Even if these extend off the screen and cross other objects (not seen on the screen), they usually trim off completely.  However, on occassion they don't.  To replicate the problem try this:

Draw 2 vertical lines and 2 horizontal intersecting (like noughts and crosses)Draw a horizontal line that intersects both vertical lines but up near the top of those linesZoom in so you only see the square and extending lines (but not the short horizontal line)Trim <Enter> <Enter> and pick from bottom right to top left (i.e. around the squareZoom out.

The square is trimmed, however there are 2 line fragments left above the horizontal short line.

Fix: UndoTrim the same way and presto, it now works I found if I then moved the line above (so only a small amount), zoomed in again, tried to trim - same error.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Trim Lines Of Apparent Intersection?

Jul 3, 2012

I'm using ACA 2008 and used to be able to pick two lines that didn't physically cross each other and use the trim command to trim them based on where they would cross if they extended to each other.  But it doesn't seem to do it anymore.

Best way I can describe it is it used to trim at the apparent interest ion of where they would come together.  I'm sure there's some easy fix to this, just don't know where it's at.

AutoCad :: Trim Command Change Between 2013 And 2014?

Nov 15, 2013

Noticed a change in the trim command between 2013 & 2014?

In 2013 (with out selecting trim all) the trim line didn't have to intersect the line you wanted to trim. We just upgraded to 2014 and I noticed that if I want to trim a line that the lines have to intersect. A line that doesn't intersect with the selected trim line will not trim.

AutoCAD LT :: Extend / Trim Command Very Slow While Zoomed Out?

Aug 14, 2012

A problem i have encountered with LT 2011 is the extend or trim command freezing/taking a long time to extend or trim.

If i zoom up close, extend/trim works as normal instantly, but if i zoom out further & try the same extend/Trim it can take 30 seconds or more.

I dont remember having this issue on previous LT versions, I've found this with many if not all drawings

Illustrator :: How To Trim Off Top Of The Lines In Picture

May 9, 2013

I want to trim off the top of the lines in the picture below. I used white lines to cover the top to show you what look I wanted to achieve, However, I know that using white lines to cover it up is not a practical solution for my application. I know that I should be messing with the pathfinder tool but I just can't get it to work right for me. I am pretty new to illustrator and Photoshop.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Command Line - Space Bar

Sep 23, 2013

we have a strange problem showing up here on Autocad Architecture 2014 on Windows 8: We use the "space-bar" to confirm a command or shortcut. After start of AutoCAD everything seems fine but suddenly a hit of the space bar is interpreted as two hits:

Line <space>
Specify first point:
Specify first point:
Specify next point or [Undo]: [cursor ready for next point]

No chance to point the "first point". It is either 0,0,0 or the last coordinate.

Using the <Enter> button (or selecting an icon) is working as expected / normal but very unhandy because on the right side of the keyboard.We tried different keyboards but this is not a hardware problem!

AutoCAD Architecture :: Command Interruption By Space Explorer

Jan 20, 2012

I navigate (all functions, pan zoom, etc) with my space explorer in autocad architecture 2011 any autocad command will be cancelled by the 3d mouse. when use the 3d mouse, the cursor in autocad changes to the default windows cursor display. I have an updated version of autocad 2011 with all of the service packages and hotfixes, the space explorer software driver is up to date too, windows 7 ultimate x64 is updated too.command line example:

Command: _line Specify first point: "I move the 3d mouse" Specify next point or [Undo]: *Cancel*
Command: *Cancel* 

I tried reinstalling both autocad and 3dconnexion, restored the default settings of the 3d mouse. I also shutdown the logitech mouse software to make sure it was not interfering with anything. I also double checked that it was not a display refresh issue with the graphics card or the display settings for autocad, I also played with the profiles in the 3dx sofware.

I installed Aucad Architecture 2012 and same freaking issue. The only way to solve it "half way" (so not a real solution) is to change the visual style to other than 2d wireframe, but when doing so, whatever object you are manipulating seems to freeze on the screen and doesn't refresh untill you move the mouse (normal one), basicaly the manipulated object doesn't zoom with the rest of the objects in the screen.

This is very anoying since the purpose of these stuff is to create an uninterrupted worflow not the complete oposite!! this mouse is worth around 200-300 dolars and Autodesk took responsability for it's drivers!! and it doesn't work!! it's faster to work with your regular mouse. Also you should develop the driver version for the Autocad Mac version.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Not Recognizing AEC Elements / Unknown Command

Jul 6, 2012

I have been using Architecture 2013 for a while now, but now there is what I beleve to be a configuration issue.  Essentially, ACAD loads,but does not recognise any AEC components.  The tool pallette no longer has an icon to add a wall, for example.  If I load an older drawing that has a wall in it, and select the wall, the Properties window says it is a wall, but none of the blue grips is visible.  Right clicking does not give the option to "Edit Wall Style" for example.  It behaves as though it does not know what an Architecural element is. If it type "WALLADD" at the command line, it says ""Unknown Command".

The company I purchased it from initially had me do a "repair", then a "reinstall" and then a "Clean reinstall". All of which I have done.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Keep Getting Warning Message In Command Line?

Oct 8, 2010

I was using 2009 Architecture. I kept getting a message in the command line: "WARNING: Xdata tag 100 is missing" like hundred to 1000 times and while its scrolling through this same message in the command line I can not do anything but wait for it to finish. Not sure if a recent windows update has anything to do with it. I am using XP Pro. I have a Dell with 3GB of ram and a Radeon X300/X550/X1050 video card and am running dual monitors. I have an upgrade to Archtiecture 2010 so rather than reinstall 2009 I installed 2010. Unfortunately, same problem. In 2009 I seem to remember that it was more random. In 2010, it pops up when I do an xref reload.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Command Aliases Abbreviations Missing?

Sep 13, 2011

I like the new feature in 2012 where I can type a couple of letters at the Command Prompt and get several commands to pick from but I would like to have the command alias back (for me) such as typing E and the Erase command would be there.  I went to Express Tools and loaded the acad.pgp file; typed RE-INIT at command prompt but there was not change.  Closed the program and restarted and still no change.  When I type E, the first command is EATTEDIT.  I don't see any of the aliases abbreviations. How do I get these to show up?

How can I get the ceiling grid function to start working?
