My question has to do with the Annotation Tool Palette out-of-the-box. For a given scale, the Call out bubble circle and text is a different size from the Section call out. See attached image.
View 2 RepliesUnfortunately, a new project we have does not allow us to use annotative objects, so we are back to switching scale by creating several dimstyles with a varying dimscale (eg. Dim96, for 1/8", Dim48 for 1/4" etc.) Now I have created a button on the tool palette that brings in text and it allows me to set the size of the arrow by matching it to the dimstyle, but the text comes in always at the same size - 9" which is 3/32" for a 1/8" plan. The arrow changes but the text does not. I know I have to change the CANNOSCALE, but I can't seem to figure out a way of making it work so that the user will only need to switch the dimstyle from the pull down up at the top right and then be able to use a tool palette button that will bring in a text with leader with it's arrow head and text height matching the dimstyle scale.
View 4 Replies View RelatedNoticed that the Dynamic Blocks in the Annotation Tool Palette are missing? Let me rephrase that, in the Tool palette they show up, but the dwg's that they reference are missing. I have 4 users that are currently testing Civil 3D 2013 and all of them are missing the files.
I'm sure I could copy them from 2012, but still.
For some reason, the tool palette I usually use is not accessible. I opened a drawing that a co-worker was using and my tool palette now looks like an old version - it doesn't have any of my custom tools in it. How do I get back my tool palette??

I am using AutoCAD 2011. Because when I typically draw a circle I use the center, diameter style to create a circle. The factory default is Center, Radius. I would like to make the center, diameter my default setting whenever I chose to draw a circle. I would like to know how to make that change then how do I get it onto a custom tool palette?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add a block to my tool palette. I am able to add it, but when I click on the palette to add it to a drawing, it acts like it's going to work but nothing shows up in the drawing. I have added it to the source drawing, saved the source drawing, dragged it into the palette. All is well until I try to place it in a drawing. The other blocks work fine.

We have no problem dragging and dropping to our existing tool palettes, but we can not drop to anything new we create. We do not have any read/write issues. I have tried saving workspace, restarting CAD just erases the palette i tried to create.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a pallette , where I can use routinely used small symbols(saved as drawings) for insertion into a drawing.
I've created a pallette but unsure how to get my symbols into the pallette.
I have just installed AutoCAD 2014 with our company update and I am having problems using our tool palettes.
When I click the buttons on the palette to load our blocks I get the message below:cad2014 tool palette error.png
I've checked the directorys of the tool palettes and they are routing to the correct location.
I have just updated a whole load of block symbols as some numpty didn't put them on layer 0. When i have created a tool palette of the symbols, 4 of approx 30 symbols have got such a tiny tool image, that its impossible to see them, but oddly the rest are fine.
I have checked the blocks are zoomed to extents, checked the drawing limits are the same ones that are okay, and checked that the size of the block is the same, effectively i can not see any difference between the blocks. Even when i increase the image size to max in the tool palette view options the symbol is to small to identify. Oddly in windows explorer and in ACAD design center there is no issue with the tool image size.
Whilst i could manually create a new image, and tell the tool palette to use it, if this happens with all the blocks, it could be time consuming, when there could be a very simple answer i have over looked.

In my tool palette is have some controls. In some systems entire palette is visible completely, but in some systems, the bottom controls in the palette are not visible where the system settings are different. Is there any option to display scroll bar in the tool palette automatically?
It seems unlike previous PC's, when i sart up AutoCAD my new set up reverts the location of the tool palletes to open center to my screen 1 even after i have positioned it on screen two.
I understand the tool palette should hold its location in the position i last placed it.. in screen two. as do you toolbars....
Why does the tool palette keep reverting back the center location on my screen, not where it was placed
I have created a tool palette with all the blocks that I use on a daily basis. The only thing is that now when I put my cursor on the palette I have no icons just words. When I adjust the size to the palette my icons appear.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have created a custom office standards tool palette for the users, and it is properly loaded on all the machines. The issue is that when the 'Tools' button on the ribbon is pressed, it loads to the 'design tools' palette by default. Most user here have the habit of closing the tool menu after use, and reopening it from the menu - which defaults back to the design tools palette instead of the office standards... which is frustrating when jumping back and forth constantly. I assumed there was an easy way to tell them to set the 'standards' as the default, but I can't seem to find this property anywhere.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI recently got a new drafting job for a chemical plant. The issue that I am having is that they are using AutoCAD 2004. That version came out when I was a freshman in high school and I am lost. I am trying to insert the custom blocks that pertain to our design standards, but I am getting nowhere.
I have the blocks in a separate folder. I am getting to the customize tool palette option, but every time I try and import these files the folders show up empty. Admittedly, I am not the greatest with the complexities of AutoCAD because I picked it up on the job and never had any "official" training; however, it has also been two years since I've had to do this and I am a little rusty... I'd like to think it's just that because they are using decade old software.
In LT2008. Dragging blocks (individual files) from ADC to tool palette. Some of the images are unreadable, just a dot or two. The drawing files are saved with the image filling the screen. Changing the size of the image in the tool palette does not work. I have tried plotting to .jpg and .png, the images are grayed. What is the best way to make a nice image for the tool palette to display at a medium size?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI use LDD04. Usually when I want to combine 2 or more tool palettes and create one with tools I mostly use,I have all the palettes open,then I r-click on one tool palette I want to change, then go to customize and drag and drop tools I need from other palettes into the one customizing. This didn't work this time, now when I go over one tool with the mouse, it shows different name for it, so the icon and function is messed up. I also am missing the icons of those tools I added to the palette. When I'm going back to the palette where I grabbed on tool from, it's not there anymore. How can I restore tool palettes to their original form and how can I create a palette with only tools I want?
