AutoCAD LT :: Lines Not Hyphenating Anymore When Editing?
Aug 1, 2013
When editing, say crossing 4 of 6 lines to select for erasing, LT2014 used to hyphenate the lines selected to show which lines would be affected. It does not do that anymore. what I toggled and what command it takes to bring it back?
I have been using AutoCAD 2010 for a while now and then all of a sudden, I am unable to select multiple lines. The only way to select more than one line for a command is to hold down the shift button and then select more lines. I think someone was playing around with the computer and must have changed a setting?
I created a few different Sites as I created Feature lines in order to keep them separate and avoid having one affect the others. The problem is that I am now stuck in the Last Site created. So commands like "QUICKEDITFEATUREELEVS" only see those feature lines in the last Site created. How can I switch to another site so I can quickly edit those feature lines?
I am working on a 6 mile highway project whose surface file is 85MB big. So, I created a Data Shortcut of this surface and used this for creating profiles. However, at some locations the corridors go below the surface(as per their original profile) which was not intended. So, I need to restrict the surface to follow the corridors but not go beyond it.
I have created feature lines from corridors and tried to add them as breaklines to the surface. But " error adding breakline" error pops up.
Is it because I am trying to add the breaklines to the mirror surface which I created from Data Shortcut ??
Will it be useful if I copy feature lines to original surface file and add these feature lines as breaklines in that file??

I've been away from Revit for awhile. Isn't there an easier way to edit lines in elevations without creating dozens of masking regions to hide model lines from walls, roofs etc.?I thought in older versions, (I'm currently on 2012), that you could just select lines to make them invisible.
When I define a dashed line, then go back to edit a new dash, the dash/gap settings must first be deleted. Is there a simple way to delete these numbers without selecting and deleting each one? I happen to be using CS5 but this feature has not changed since AI was introduce, if I can remember right.
I know I should save multiple dash "styles", but even stroke profiles are saved for quick reuse. Why not dashed lines?
has something changed in 2011 controlling prompts to save pdfs when publishing from sheetset manager?? im using page overrides, which uses dwg to pdf.pc3 file. it publishes but no prompt for file name. i have checked the sheetset publish options and it is set to multiple & prompt for file name, however it still doesnt prompt and saves it in the folder nominated. where else is this controlled?
My Autocad 2011 gets stuck trying to open Options in whatever way I try to access them. I end up having to close it down. Never had the problem before today so not sure what has changed..
Hatch is not showing up on my drawing anymore. I use hatch command, pick area, pattern, color, scale etc and then when I press enter or preview nothing happens. Hatch works on my layouts though but not in model view.
Before all that happened, AutoCAD crashed and stopped working so I had to force close it.
What do I do now? How can I make hatch work again?
So I have been working on this assembly for quite a while and now Inventor 2013 doesn't let me edit my component on the fly from the assembly space like before. (the Edit button appears dim as shown below)
I am (unfortunately) running the soft on XP and it's running out of memory quite often. I was wondering if it was possible that Inventor blocks the user from using functions that could lead to a potential crash.

In my drawing, I inserted a raster image file. I converted it into a block so I can modify it and I scaled it like this:
img_before.jpg
I saved my drawing and I close AutoCAD, but when I open AutoCAD again the image shown on the drawing file is not the same image that I had inserted previously.
img_after.jpg
The image shown is one that I had inserted before the first one but I had erased it from the file because I had to crop it in photoshop to reinsert it again.
I used the purge command to purge the block, I used the image command and i detached the image.
But the image says "unreferenced" when I do the "image command" even though it has the right location and folder. I don't know what to do anymore.
I`m using the AutoCad Version 2010 and since last friday I`m not able to Plot PDF datas anymore.It shows the Error "Invalid Window"..But it worked hundreds of times before in the same way.
I have a iLogic rule for saving drawings (dwg) to a pdf file in a designated folder. Everything worked well until this Monday morning. Now I get the message: Error in rule: Save2PDF, in document: 13006-027 propflens-1.dwg Value cannot be null.
So, I really like the ability to have a pressure network pipe follow a surface but, what if I no longer want the pipe to follow the surface? Is there any way I can get rid of all the extra grips that are added to the pipe in the profile? The only way thing I've come up with is to delete the pipe and recreate it.
It started about 3 or 4 weeks ago on my office workstation with Inventor 2013 Pro. Seems to still go okay at home with 2014. I'm using Inventor's built-in PDF export, not an external program.

I develop AutoCAD using .NET, I use the Edit and Continue feature in Visual Studio 2008 while debugging and testing what I wrote. I recently got a new machine and now my Edit and Continue doesn't seem to work anymore.
I created several Parts with the Shaft Generator, and from one moment to another it always says that it can't update the part file with the new shaft when I press Ok.
Here is the original error, I'm german, so of cause its in german, but i discribed above what it says:

I have a file where there are mostly surfaces and gradings. But once again i ran into a similar problem - i cannot open the file anymore. It just stops loading and then Civil crashes.
Can try to open it and maybe use MAPCLEAN or AUDIT in hope it fixes anything?
Why do these things even keep happening, i do not understand at all.
how do I make straight lines? Horizontal Lines? Vertical Lines? Curvs? I read many tutorials and i am afraid that I am doing it the wrong way, my way is to drag a guide to where i want the line to be at and trace the guide with the brush tool...
ACA12 - the mouse wheel doesn't work on many of the dropdowns anymore? Is this an 'improvement' or is there a new variable I need to learn to turn it back on.
Do autodesk have only 12 fonts on their machine? Why is the text style font name drop boxes so tiny? Makes it real time consuming to select a font when you have lots of fonts as I'd imagine most machines have.
I have been designing a school project for the last 2 months using the student version of inventor 2014. The realistic views have been working the whole time before but now it is not working. I click on it, and it just switches back to shaded view. If I click on shadows, or reflections I get the following message.
"One or more visual effects in use are not supported by the current system graphics hardware. We strongly recommend running the Diagnostics check in applications option for detailed information.Would you like to run hardware Diagnostics now?"
After selecting Yes I get the following,The graphics driver is fully certified.

Graphics driver file vga.dll is version 6.1.7600.16385

Click the OK button to place diagnostic information on the clipboard.
I hit OK and everything closes. This is left on my clipboard.

Since AutoCAD 2013, I'm not able to use tracking when inserting block from tool palette. Example, I want to insert a door at 6 inches from a wall. I click the door from the tool palette, leave a tracking point at the wall corner, move the cursor in the right direction and type 6 follow by enter. The door is insert randomly in the drawing. It was working perfectly in previous release.
Actually I had to insert the door anywhere in the drawing and moving it at the right place and rotate it if required, it is very tedious.
Today I run max (Maxdesign 2012 x64 win 7), and I can't use my toolbar "Named selection set" list.
I can use "edit named selection set" button, and create selection sets, but my list just show blank list. if I re-install max on top of existing one (perhaps this can solve my problem) do I keep all my UI, macros, scripts as is, or I must install all plugs and macro again ?
With all of you fine teachers, I have the know-how to get the start and end values of a line.
Do you think there is a way to get a point returned that represents the true intersection of the two lines, without having to involke a user defined "getpoint" function using "intersect" osnap?
