View 4 RepliesI am trying to circle one of the letters and each will receive a number sequence afterwards for the comm addresses (is what I want to do anyway). This is a gov project so I have to ensure everything is addressed properly.
Circling the prefix would make this look ideal but I don't know if there's a way to do it. I tried looking but couldn't find a way to do it.
The only way I could think to do it is do it manually with attdef and create a defined block with the prefix area already circled.
I have a problem: There are a lot blocks in my DWG with 3-5 Attributes. I change the Values of the attributes in the .Text String but they aren't set as default values of the block attribute. Now i want to set the actual value as default / initialize value of the attribute without entering every time in the block editor
with the following code its possible to change the text string. I can set the attribut.textstring as default value?
Public Sub changedefault()
Count = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayout.Block.Count
For Index = 0 To Count - 1
Blockstring = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayout.Block(Index).ObjectName
[code]......
When I open a new file in AutoCAD 2011 the size is 1:100 how can I change it to 1:1 ?

When I use the File Open dialog box, for example, I always want it to be bigger so I drag the corner to enlarge it, but the next time I call it it's back to the same default size. Can I drag it to a new size and make that stick, a variable set differently perhaps, or is something more sophisticated involved?

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow can I change the default arrowhead size from 3/32 to 5/32... I am able to change it from the palettes only after I insert it.
I would like to have all leaders of all styles match the same style far as arrowhead size... multi-leaders are defaulted as 5/32 and after using them forwe like them this size verses the 3/32 size of the quick leader.
Now I'm going to write a code that will change current plot device of the drawing and there isn't a problem here:
acPlSetVdr.SetPlotConfigurationName(acPlSet, newPrinter, "A4");
But how can I leave default paper size not "A4"? For example if there is "A3" it should stay "A3". Because if I go through each drawing I don't know what is the current paper size I just need to change the plot device becuse default has been crashed for example. But if I write "A4" each drawing will have "A4".
I would like to try and set up a Multileader that reads the description of a block.
For example when I am making the block I would like to put some descriptive text that may say "Post top insert connected to haboe pin"
After the block is compelted and placed into a new drawing I would then select the multi leader option and then it would automtically fill in the text. (from the pre-defined description)
I would like it to be similar to a callout in solidworks.
I have some new multi leader definitions using blocks, however I can only edit the attribute definition text individually, where if I had the same block as a standalone with a leader I could select as many blocks as I wanted and change the text via quick properties in one quick step. Is there a way to achieve this using a block as a base for a multileader?

View 9 Replies View RelatedEvery new document seems to open with a default text size of 12 pt. (or 0.167 inches). I am a sign maker and my typical artboard size is often 120" x 120" or larger.
Is there a way to change the default text size so that new documents open with a text size of, say, 1 inch (or 3 inches, etc)?
I've read several things in this forum but nothing convenient. In the past I though I was possible to change the stroke thickness with no document open and that worked for all the new documents yet to come. Well, it doesn't. The default stroke size is 1pt and I want it to change to f.e. 0,25pt. But how?
View 16 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to using annotative objects, and I am having a lot of trouble with blocks and annotative multileaders.
I made a custom block (_ValveCallout) to be used in an annotative multileader, which was working perfectly, until I needed to edit the block I was using in the multileader. After I redefined the block, the attributes in the block seem to be displayed at the wrong scale, and the border around them isn't even showing at all. I have to redraw every multileader if I have to make a change to the block.
I have tried to change the size of the text in the title block and in other places within a drawing, but the changes are ignored. They always come back to Tahoma 0.120"
Is this a bug in the program?
Inventor 2013 with the latest service packs, etc.
I really need to make some changes to the title block and making the text smaller is one of them.
Is it possible for me to change the default size of the new image which loads when paint.net is started?
It would be useful for me to start with an image size of 1024 x 1024.
I am aware that I can change the size of images, and that the size of any new image created after loading is the same as the last image.
Edit: I just realised a workaround. I saved a blank 1024 square pdn file to my desktop. Clicking this starts paint.net with this sized image.
When I try to create a multileader the text size is throwing me off. I draw the arrowhead location and landing with no problem, then the text box pops up. As I am typing the text into the textbox it shows up on the screen as if it was a text height of about 5, however it is actually 0.18. As soon as I click off the text box to complete the multileader the text shrinks down to the actual size of 0.18.
I want the height to be 5 but when I change it to 5 the text box shows up as huge, like it is about 200 or something even though it is actual 5. The textbox takes up most of the screen, as soon as I click of the text box to complete the multileader it shows up as a normal height of 5 and looks correct. This is so annoying. Multileader is the only tool that does this. A simple multiline text box works fine; as I am entering the text it is the same size the entire time, visually and actually.
I have created a custom set of construction callout to use with the Multileaders.
I dont know if its just a Monday or what, but where are the blocks stored??? I mapped their location in the work support path and I inserted the blocks into the drawing but when I go to select them from the "Select Custom Content Block" drop down they are not in there???
Where are these block files coming from? How do I map my autocad to bring up these blocks?
How can I change the default text size? I can set the size to 12 pt in three different places and choose "save settings as default", and when I place the text cursor on the page, it goes back to 24 pt. Very maddening...

Default canvas size are 800x600 px . I want set it to 500x414 px by default .
This is for Rectangle Select. I read somewhere else that it's possible but it didn't say how. I would also like to change the default for fixed ratio from 4:3 to something like 1:1 (square).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to send field value to a multileader with a block. I tried:
(VL-CMDF "_.mleader" (getpoint "
Specify leader arrowhead location: ") pause "%<AcVar.17.0 Lisp.*granitelbl* f "%tc1">%")
Maybe it was a naive of me to charge in so boldly. The field appears to have made it in but it does not act like a field and does not reflect the correct value or update. In fact I get no response at all. In fact using "update field" "all" selects the fields but reports that they are locked.
My multileader style uses a block as a content. How can I find world coordinates of insertion point of block entity within multileaders?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using multileader overall scale to define ml. types for different drawing scales. For example ml. style 1_10 uses overall scale 10 and 1_20 uses overall scale 20.
When i select the ml. and change its style from 1_10 to 1_20 it also changes the overall scale to 20 which is ok.
Thing is that if i want to change it back from 1_20 to 1_10 (or something else) it only changes the dimstyle and not the overall scale(text height).
I have several multileaders and they appear reversed and also print that way.
So I tried to modify the `standard` text style (which they use) to be 'backward' and changed the font from truetype to shx. I see no change in the existing multileaders.
How can I change the default point size of the numbers that the dimensioning tool generates? Right now it is defaulted at 24 pt. and i have to manually select and change to 10 pt all through my drawings.
