View 9 RepliesI want to change the default precision shown in my drawing from two decimal places to three. In my .idw file the "Units" tab does not seem to be there. I see Standard, Sketch, Drawing, Sheet. I could change each dimension one by one, but there's got to be an easier way.

This Form (Rule) will be in template. Is there any simple way to do this (picture is in attachment)?
Is there a way in iLogic to change the document setting for an .idw file?

If my style library is enabled in project it always refresh definitions whenever i create a document using template and press update the window in snapshot shows up.
Is there any way to do vice versa - i.e. get all these items updated in style library as per the current document setting.
Im looking to make a simple ilogic rule that can toggle an option in the document settings, the setting I would like to change is the Document settings> Modeling> Participate in assembly and drawing sections
I would like a form to switch the option on and off quickly, its a really usefull function however I know a few of my colleagues wont use if they cant find it easly.
Im adjusting the CAD setup in our company, and therefore im looking for a way do change the document settings on all parts in an assembly (or the whole CAD directory) the easiest way possible.!
I have attached a picture of the setting i would like changed.
Is it possible with some Autodesk task scheduler tools..?
or can it be done with an ilogic rule?
When I add "Document Settings" to the quick acess toobar it causes Inventor to Crash when I close the active .ipt, idw, etc.

I work with a land surveying package. I use both AutoCAD 2006 and R14. When I export a cad dwg from the survey software and open it in R14 my drawing units are as I want them E.G Direction Control = North = 270 and should be set to clockwise. If I open the same exported drawing but in 2006 the settings change. If I create a new drawing in 2006, the settings are as I want them.
After installation of the AutoCAD 14 and setting up drawing parameters to support the .dwt template, from the Format menu, tried initiating the units, points, table style, and layer states command but get a prompt for indicating for example: "units" unknown command, "DDTYPE" unknown comand, etc.. What setting do I have to adjust in order for these commands to work?

How do I make it so a new document in Photoshop uses Inches as its units instead of pixels? I have it set to inches in the preferences -> units & rulers but every time I make a new document it defaults to pixels for the dimensions. way to make that default to inches?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPC, Windows 7, AI CC..I have a document that displays units in points, and when I change the unit type to inches in the preferences panel and the Document Setup panel, the change won't apply.
I've tried saving as a new document, restarting, etc. I even tried setting the units to other units... doesn't matter what I have the units set to in preferences, it's always displaying points.
Everythime when starting a new project I first go to 'Options' > 'Units' > 'Page units' and set it from 'Inch' to 'Pixels' is there a way to set this as default ?
Note: I'm currently using the old free version Xtreme 5 Silver because lost the paid version after a system format and register code that didn't work anymore, perhaps of newer version there an easy setting for that, on this one I haven't found it yet.
I am trying to resize the artboard so it will be an exact size in pixels. However whenever I use the artboard tool, the contextual toolbar will show me the size in mm. I went to Preference > Units > General and while it appears to be set to show pixels, it doesn't seem to affect the artboard measurements.
View 2 Replies View RelatedEvery time I open Xara I have to change the default settings under "Utilities", "Options", "Units" from inches to pixels. There are other default settings I'd like to change as well, but my question is how do I change those settings to default so that when I open Xara, I don't have to go reset them? This is a PITA! I have searched through the help files and don't see any info on changing the standard default settings!
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am occasionally developing with ObjectARX 2013. The problem: A command being executed from a document needs to focus on another document. I am doing that as:
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument = aGeneratedDrawing;
After this line, the focus is taken by the other document. But the command execution just stops without producing any visible error or catchable exception. Apparently, the document focus cannot be changed during execution of a command.
A solution: What worked in the end was displaying a .NET form inside the command, like:
Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.ShowModelessDialog(aForm);
Then, performing the very same set of actions on a button click works flawlessly.
The question is: can using the form as a mediator be avoided? It is redundant there. I tried hooking to CommandEnded, executing the code as a separate command via Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute, and also executing the code in a separate delayed thread. So far, only triggering the code via the form worked.
I tried to print thisdrawing.modeldocument in a vba sub, but it doesn't work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow or where do you set the default value under the Edit Command Settings for, say, AddContourLabeling? Right now it is saying that I'm overriding the default to our company standard, but I want the default to be the company standard not the "Standard" style. This goes for all command settings. I'm sure the default is set somewhere.

View 4 Replies View Related“Command” and “Option” settings in the AutoCAD...Is there a way to save the “Command settings” and the “Option settings” in the file but not on the “AutoCAD program”?
Examples:
The default of the “Isolate” command is “Lock and fade” For me I prefer to switch the this setting to be “Off”The default value of the command “FIELDEVAL” is 13. For me I prefer to switch the this setting to be “Off”The default setting of the “default mode” is “shortcut menu”. For me I prefer to switch this setting to be “repeat last command” ( I go to options>>user preferences”>>Windows standard behavior>>Right click customization>> default mode>>repeat last command. Is there a way to save these settings on the file such that if we open this file in another computer then we don't need to set them again?
In other words, why aren't the “Default settings” “Option settings” saved on the file the same way the “Drafting Settings: like sanps, Osanps” are?
When I open a document that I've worked on previously, Illustrator seems to re-set its tools - presumably to default settings. For example the pen tool fill is white, the stroke is black, the point is......etc.
It's frustrating to have to change these back to the settings that I am currently using for this document.
This also seems to apply to the windows down the right hand side that seem to open in default as opposed to how I last left them when I saved and closed Illustrator.
I'd sort of assumed that Illustrator would 'remember' my previous settings etc and open in that way. Is there a way of opening with the same, previous settings?
What to do to change the settings so you can select an item or items and then type in the command you wnat to use? This seems to have changed between Autocad 2012 and 2013 and only executes command if typed in first then itmes selected.

So in document color settings in color management, should the primary color mode be RGB or CMYK? I only print inkets and never send stuff out to a regular printer.
should all color settings be at RGB if the option is offered?
