AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Changing Tools And Settings
Dec 24, 2013
I am still trying to learn the basics in AutoCAD. Here is an example: I have many lines created in a drawing that all are different in collar,layer,line type,. Now I want to start drawing a new line But with the settings of a specific line . instead of changing every attribute(collor,layer,line type.) How can I simple pick a line I like from the drawing and then the line tool adopts the settings from that line? The same question for other tools for example text, dims,... Is the a tool the simple picks the objects attributes and make those current ?

In LDDT, I was able to create points and manually assign a point number.
I know in Civil 3D 2013, i can assign a point number also by changing a toggle under Point Creation Tools to False.
My problem is that everytime I close out of that box and get back in, it reverts the toggle back to TRUE so I have to keep changing it back to False as well as the Next Point Number. In the above example, the Next Point Number should be 1147 (which is after my manually created point 1146) but it keeps going back to 33 which is the next available number after #1.

I want to change the text in my dimension. I don't actually want to change my the actual dimension, just the text. Is it possible? I want to create drawings that aren't to scale, and put in the dimensions that I want on there.

I'm just beginning to use Gimp with my Thinkpad x230. It's got a pressure sensitive stylus with eraser to use on the screen, and in ubuntu it's basically an on-screen wacom.
One of the greatest things about this is that I can use Gimp like a souped up sketchpad, I can automatically change tools to eraser whenever I spin the pen around.
The only problem is that whenever I change the brush size for the pencil, then move over to eraser, Gimp uses the brush size I selected for the pencil for the eraser tool. This is super annoying in practice. Is there a way for Gimp to memorize which brush size I want for a given tool?

I've just recently found that new chromatic aberration tools kills settings for old chromatic aberration tools. Lets say I have a PV2010 photo with adjusted sliders for chromatic aberration reduction and selected defringe "all edges".Now I'm importing this photo to LR 4.1. I'm not updating process version!
Photo is automatically updated by Lightroom to new CA controls (note it still PV2010 photo). Well, I must say the the results are superb - they are the same as I was achieving with manual sliders, but now with only one click. But the problem is - Lightroom says that metadata have been changed, and I am writing back changes to XMP.But now XMP contains settings for new CA tools, but settings for old CA tools are LOST.
So if I want to open this image in ACR 6.6, or send it to someone with older LR version I end up with completely resetted CA settings, because ACR 6.6 does not have new CA tools, and settings for old tools are killed by LR 4.1 - they are just removed from XMP. So I am loosing CA removal settings completely when opening image in earlier version of application. And I am NOT updating process version!

So in Photoshop when I select a tool on the toolbar and right-click it, I am given a menu of "sub" tools to choose from. In Illustrator, however, the same does not happen. I can select the tool on the toolbar, but right-clicking has no effect on those tools that appear to have sub-tools available (indicated, I thought, by the little corner triangle in the icon, just like Photoshop). Alt-clicking, alt-right-clicking, shift-clicking, ctl-clicking, nothing seems to work.
How do I, for instance, switch from the rectangle tool to the rounded rectangle tool (if there is one)? And how do I see which sub-options are available under those tools that have the little triangle?
I'm using Illustrator CS6 64-bit on Windows 7 64-bit

I would like to change the default settings for a Radius dimension, Extension value from "On" to "Off".
I have no trouble changing the dimensions one at a time, but that doesn’t change the default value in the template.

Since I installed the 2014 Inventor, my 3Dconnexion Space Navigator refuses to keep the settings I program for the buttons. I tried updating to the latest version of the driver, but that didn't work. I also tried unchecking the autosave function in the driver, but they still get changed anyway and then the driver asks if I want to save the changes.

We had to migrate from one domain to annother on our network. This meant that each user had to create a new profile.
Before we migrated I tried to back up the user data from the old user but once I am up an running agian all the AutoCad settings are no longer included. I understand you can export those while you are logged in and can see the macros etc. can you simply move the files that store that information (I can still access all the files from that user I just can't login as that user anymore)

for my latest little project I'm trying to change layer settings depending on a entry in a sheet set attribute.
Basically, if the sheet set custom attribute entry is 'white' I want the colour of a specific layer displayed as 255,255,255, and if it's blue I want it changed to 0,0,255. So I can control the colours from a sheet set custom properties level.
And for it to check if the layer existing in the drawing, so it'll skip the process if it's not there.

I will change settings on a tool, use it for awhile, then change to a different tool. When I return to the first tool, the settings have reverted to the defaults. How do I keep them from changing while I am using a different tool?

I'm working on a project where I will have to do a lot of various scaling using Bilinear resampling. Is there a way to make this the default scaling method in PS CS6 (Mac OS).
I keep on forgetting to switch the scaling method, and thus often have to scale the image twice.

Since i bought a new machine, i've been having issues with the trial of Max 2012.Drivers, DirectX, etc. is all fully updates to the latest version, and Max started having these issues after (i think) a win7 update (I've attached a pic).
I've tried changing the settings to Direct3D and OpenGL, but the last one, makes it so Max crashes when opening (forcing me to change manually the config back to Direct3D), Aero is disabled by default too.

The current default 'stroke' setting on my PS is 3 pixels/Red...how do I change it?
The stroke setting to which I refer is when I double click a layer and want to surround it with a stroke line of color. I have searched everywhere and can't find where to change the default setting.

I'm at work and i'm getting this terrible bug where modifying a value for one of the Character settings result in some random large value. So far it happened for Font Size, Line Height, Character Spacing and Base Line Shift.
It seems this issue has been around since CS6 was released, with dates ranging from Early 2012 to early 2013. This greatly impacts my work production.
Just want to see if other issues were relevant and its true that when you transform the text, the character scaling goes wonky. So is there a solution to this yet? This issue has been around since early last year.

why Photoshop keeps changing settings for placing objects, image size etc.?
For example: I create a new Photoshop document:
ppi: 300
Width: 160 mm
Heigth: 160 mm
after clicking "OK", these go to 160,2 mm or less than 160 mm.
The same with the sizes and places of objects etc. I create a 20 x 20 mm circle. One click later it is 19,89 x 19,89. I set it's location to X: 80 mm, Y: 80 mm. One click later: 80,02mm

We have a main line (1 Alignment) and some junctions on that main line (other Alignments), and out GOAL is to create GL (General Layout) sheets, showing Shading, Setting out and Dimensions..ETC.So every VFG (View Frame Group) i can generate cut sheets from it, the Question is
1- How can i "connect" all the VFGs you see in the image attached into one VFG so that i would create them together ?
2- OR should i make separate VFGs like you see i did already , and then create cut sheets for each VFG ?
3- Or am i the only one facing this Problem ?

I am trying to use Plan Production Tools. While creating frame I new what my start station was, but was not really sure how far to go so i let it create frames to the end. After i seen where the frames landed i realized i needed to erase one frame. Then i Created sheets. While looking at the sheets i have noticed i did not delete the matchline. Is there a way to delete this matchline or do i have to do all that work again?
