AutoCAD LT :: Cannot Draw - Select Or Enter Commands
Oct 3, 2012
I got a user who uses AutoCAD 2013 LT. He is not able to draw lines, type commands, select objects etc, in new and in existing documents (that other users can edit). I have reset the default settings and did a reinstall of AutoCAD through a package. This did not resolve it. He also does not get the "crosshair" you normally see when using AutoCAD.
How do I turn on the dialog boxes when I enter commands? I finally found HPDLGMODE for the hatch command, but I would like it for all commands, especially array.
Using ACAD2013, any command I try to execute requires two clicks. This specifically occurs with transformational commands - i.e. offset, rotate, mirror, but not line. For example I will enter the "OFFSET" command and hit enter, however instead of prompting me to input my OFFSET variables I will have to hit enter again and then enter the requisite variables. In effect I have to hit enter twice to execute any command of this sort. I have already tried changing my PICKFIRST settings, and AUTOCOMPLETE. I'm at a loss.
How can I enter keywords in such a way that they don't initiate LR commands? (that subsequently make LR do all kinds of unwanted and unexpected things?
Usually it works. Now for reasons unknown to me, typing in the keyword box doesn't enter keywords, it enters commands.
And the white entry box under the keyword box is now active. I don't want that. I want to enter the keywords directly in the grey box, like I was doing before.
And now, I am also being prevented from removing unwanted keywords. Before, I could just delete them or backspace them out in the gray box.
I still having this issue: in Civil 3D 2013 spanish, after intalled SP1, draw order commands (right click > draw order) get a message " command not recognized"
I've been runing LT 2013 for the past couple of months, everything was working fine until recently. Occasionally a viewport will go completely black. I can doule-click into model space and select objects, though I can't really see them. If I delete the viewport and make a new one, the new one works fine (at least for now).
if I select a line, then enter the move command, the line unselects also when I select a line, then hit delete, the line is still there both of these used to work
Is there a way to draw a single line offset to the geometry that I select? I am trying to use multi line by modifying a style but it will not allow for one line offset at 4".
I am using the command Draw Order and would like to use the Quick Select so that I can select all objects on a specific layer. How do I use the Quick Select in conjuction with the Draw Order command?
1. I want to draw boxes of specific dimensions, i.e., 5"x7" within a canvass that is bigger (i.e., letterhead size) than that.
2. I also want to know what size a specific image is. I checked help (PS7) and it says if I press alt and right click on the image information (which I assume is the size dimensions shown on the status bar) it will give me the image size; but it only gives me the canvass size. Am I doing something wrong?
3. Not sure if this is the place to ask, but can anyone tell me where to go to learn how to create emoticons?
I think my problem should be easy to answer, today out of nowhere I suddenly had to type in the file names for different commands such as "save as" or in the layout options "from template" usually there pops up the standard folder list where you can choose the file you want.
In the pic you can see what happens if I'm clicking on "save as".
I have been working on this framing plan and come to find out - much of the text and some of the lines are being entered off of the 0 - Z plane. get everything down to 0? Flatten does not work and I have searched high and low for a resolution, but I'm not getting anywhere.
I know the lines are mostly at 0, which makes it very confusing that the text would enter off of the 0 - Z plane.
I just installed the educational version of Inventor and when i go to draw a circle in a sketch i cant enter in a specified radius. Any way to enable that?
I've always used the spacebar as Enter, it speeds up the way i work.I've just load 2013 and i'm using the Drafting & Annotation workspace, now when i use the spacebar it jumps to another command, i have to use the enter key to get it to do what i want.For example.
Type H, (spacebar), S, (Spacebar).
This should be - Hatch > Select,
instead i get 'Hatch' then it cancels the hatch commands and jumps to 'Stretch'
I cannot seem to trap the Enter key in a text box.
I tried the following:
Private Sub tbEdit_6_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles tbEdit_6.KeyPress If Asc(e.KeyChar) = 13 Then
I have a problem and as this has happened the first time I fire up autoCAD I can see that I am not going to have as easy a time as I did with 3D studio Max.
I found a tutorial on line, and it was talking about the command line, so i was entering points like it said, fine. I had to put it down as something came up at work. Go back to it to play some more, now I can no longer specify points in the command line, pressing space or enter just clears everything and asks to specify a point again.
What have I don't to make this happen, or is it a bug in the program. I have tried restarting again but still no.
every time I try to enter / alter text, autocad informs me that it can't find a dictionary for spell checking purposes. I can live with that, but the constant pop-up is getting old.
I tried to reset my Main Dictionary... but it seems to be gone. Is a fresh re-install in order?
I'm having a problem entering line lengths - something I remember occurring some time ago - but I can't' recall how I remedied it. The '@' symbol take time to register - instead of registering immediately as previously. I now have to check the command line each time and allow a moment for it to register before entering the values.
In AutoCad LT 2013, on Windows 8, I experience a 1/5 - 2 second delay afte 'enter' on a Copy command. The enter may be used in either right-click command or spacebar modes. This is the only delay I am experiencing in any command used so far. Other than that, the 2013 is flawless in Windows 8.
After a recent crash civil 3d now asks me to type in the full path and file name for a file i want to open after selecting the open option on the menu or toolbar.i know there is a variable that requires re setting but i don't know how.
The message "Enter drawing number" appears at the bottom reading panel when File, Open are selected. After that the whole screen and commands are unresponsive until "Enter drawing number" message is cancelled.
Something was changed in my Inventor settings yesterday, and I have no idea what it was, or how to change it back.
In the part sketch mode, when I go to dimension an object, I no longer get the box pop up for me to enter the dimension. I now have to double click the dimension in order to enter the correct dimension.
What was changed, and more importantly, how do I change it back?
how to add the 'Enter' or 'Return' key using find and replace on mtext? If you look at the properties of mtext you see a P for a line return (or 'Enter') but if you type P in your find and replace it will replace it with '\P' which will actually show you a 'P' in your mtext. how to get a hard return?
I have done a drawing of some house plans. I am now trying to enter text in model space, but when i enter it, it appears very small at 2.5, only if i enter at 500 it appears ok. In the layout tab the text at 500 appears very large, and when i enter 2.5 it appears ok. I have not made any changes anywhere.
Okay so is there anyway to enter the whole equation of an ellipse into autocad and it will map it? ex x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2+z^2/c^2=1 with different values for x y z a b c. I want to generate different ellipses and then loft them together?I just want one the starts with the basics and goes all the way to the move advance stuff.
What's the setting to draw dimensions as objects? For some reason it's drawing them as seperate lines, text, etc. and they only show after hitting enter. I've had this problem in the past and i'm not sure what setting does this
