I recently acquired AutoCAD 2007 LT and I'm trying to modify the temporary override keys the way I like them, and I can not get them to modify, or to work in their current settings.
I found the entry for the topic 'To modify a shortcut key.' It has 8 steps. I got through the first five, but the sixth I can not get to work as they describe it.
When I go to enter the new temporary override key, nothing appears in the entry window. For example, I am trying to set Endpoint Snap to CTRL-E. (It is currently SHIFT-E.) This is how I had it in 2002 and it shouldn't be a problem. But when I type it in, nothing appears. In fact, no matter what I type, nothing appears unless I press 'shift' first.
I also can't get them to actually work. If I'm in the Line command, and I turn off the running Osnap, and I press Shift-E, it does not actually create an endpoint snap for me, it just types a capital E in the command line, which does nothing for me.
I'm trying to override the F9 key with an AutoLISP subroutine invocation. However, though I have redefined the Temporary Override Key (associated with the F9 key) in the CUI editor, the F9 key nevertheless still triggers the default Toggle Snap Mode behavior. So it's not accepting the redefinition even though the new definition persists between AutoCAD sessions.
when I assign "" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kNoShortcut when I assign "D" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kAliasShortcut when I assign "Ctrl+D" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType is kAcceleratorShortcut
So far so good but now:
when I assign "F11" to OverrideShortcut the the OverrideShortcutType becomes kAliasShortcut resulting in:
I have to type F 11 to launch the command. What I want is to Press the key F11 to lunch the command instead of typing F 11
(This works good with Ctrl+D but not with F11)
Can I work around this to use the Function key's ?
In Lightroom 3 when you moved through images these modify keys (+ and -) would always remain at the temperature slider. It seems to now always default to exposure. Is there anyway you can change this?
I'm using Sheet Set Manager in Autocad 2011. I'm using 'page setup override', and as plot area 'print extents'. So far, so good. Until someone forgets something outside the title block, and the extents feature is not good anymore (several people working in the same projects).
So, I decide to use as plot area 'Layout' instead, typing the X & Y to determine the area to be plotted.
Now, the setup "override" doesn't override. It’s using the drawing plot area from the drawing itself, which completely defeats the purpose. Am I missing something?
I've just installed GIMP to see if it can replace Photoshop for me. But I experience some weird troubles. When I try to use the text tool I can't type anything because all the keys acts as shortcut keys. Aren't these supposed to be overridden when using things like the text tool? I also have the same problems with dialog boxes. The tab key is used to hide toolbars, but when I open dialog boxes I would rather want to use tab to jump from one input box to another. Plus I couldn't enter numbers because the number keys was shortcuts for zoom level.I guess I'm just doing this all wrong? I'm on OSX Maverick.
I have a preview control on a window that I want to display temporary custom entities that the user can build before adding to the current working document. Is there a way to create a temporary document and database that I can show in my preview control? The Preview Control was created with the guidance of the BlockView.net sample.
What I mean by temporary, is a document / database that cannot be displayed or edited in the editor window.
I was wondering if there is any way to temporarily mark measurements that I have made with the Measure function so I can go back and start a line at that point. Each time I use Measure, the information disappears when I go to another function.
I have system with the Intel HD Grahics 2000/3000 chip set. When I select certain tools, I get driver failure followed by instant recovery. Happens ONLY with Autocad 2012.
I’ve been using Autocad LT since 1994 and the Tracking command has always worked the same, now in the newest version (2009) when I Shift + Right Click I only have “Temporary Track Point” on the menu and it works differently then the old Tracking in LT 2002.
If I want to place a Point at a specific area inside a rectangle I would normally select Point then invoke Tracking then select the bottom left corner of the rectangle and move the cursor over to the Right and enter a distance such as 2.1 Enter, then move my cursor up and enter another distance 2.5 Enter, Enter. That would place the point at 2.1,2.5 relative to the lower left corner of the rectangle. I can no longer do this because as soon as I hit Enter after the first distance it places the point there.
I'm working on a rather large subdivision (not uncommon, certainly used to a longer-than-normal load time) but have found one of our XREF files to be bringing drawing loads to a screeching halt. We have XLOADCTL set to 2, which explains the creation of the temporary file.
I have previously gone into the file and reset the scale list, which speed things up by about 50%, but today it appears to be doing the same thing.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this from becoming a more serious problem? Can I add some sort of SCALELISTEDIT reset command to the acaddoc.lsp file?

I am still unable to assign a viewport color override to a 3D solid xreffed into the current drawing. Is there a fix yet? The override color shows in the vieport but when executing a "hide" or plotting the object reverts to it's original color. It would seem to be a large enough "bug" to warrant a hotfix
My company manufacturs many sheet metal parts that ends up being painted.We need to describe both material and surface treatment in the title blocks on our idw's. Inventor parts then have a selected material (the required steel type) and a color override is applied (the required paint job) But color override is not just like that to retrieve for the title block, like standard iproperties like
Is there a way to stop Dim Style Override, so it does not automatically apply to new dimension? Without having to go into dim styles and delete style override manually?
How I can override the CoG for an imported part. I have an imported motor as one part, Inventor sees the CoG as though it's one solid piece but in reality this is not true. I can override the mass so why cant I override the CoG???
I'm trying to modified (override) the surface label components using vlisp, similar to using text override, I pick the label, and found the text component, but it's seem I found the default, they all changes, plus I didn't see the override text.
where the override text and/or indivisible label property are stored?
I have a function that allows the user to set a color on a modified dimension (only the text of it). However, when this function is enabled and the user wants stretch the dimension, Autocad make a fatal error and close.
Here is where it crash (in red) :
public overridebool WorldDraw(Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface.Drawable drawable, Autodesk.AutoCAD.GraphicsInterface.WorldDraw wd) { if (showText || resetText) { Dimension dm = (Dimension)drawable; dm.UpgradeOpen();
[code].....
I added this (in red) but it will just turn in round in my code with another function and made the fatal error still :
I am clearing an override of a part in a subassembly. I tried to use the clear appearance button but I get message saying Active Design View has no appearance overrides which is not true. You can see in my attachment there clearly is an override from Chrome-Polished in the IPT to Satin- Brushed in the IAM.
There is no "Clear Override" in the Appearance pull down. I think I used to be able to click on color As Part in previous Inventor version but now it's different. The black areas are embossed features representing silkscreened graphics I need to preserve.
I tried to post the files in Inventor/Customer Files NG but the "new message" button was grayed out & not working.
I'm driving an Inventor GA using iLogic, within this GA are various guard sub-assemblies........... I designed it so that if the material for the sub assemblies is changed then the sheet thickness is also changed (eg, if alu = 3mm sht, mld stl = 2mm). Look at the attached, the grey parts are, in reality, meshed. However i do not want to create the meshed profiles so can i override the density (x0.7) using iLogic. I could override the mass by adding (0.7 x mass) BUT this does not update if the geometry changes (also driven by the GA.
why every time I use the DAL shortcut, I get a dimension style override appear? Yet it doesn't do it when i use DIMALI or the DIMALIGNED button?
I've searched extensively for a solution to this yet I can't find a solution that works. The >Drawing Setup>Scale tab doesn't seem to exist in this version, and I've tried setting all the CreateDimOverride values in the registry to 0, but even that isn't working.
I know it is easy to enter special characters in using “%%” escape sequence. However, if I am not entering in single or multiline text, but rather in a dimension annotation’s “override” field, I found that the newly entered text completely overrides the original dimensional annotation.
For example, if originally I had a diameter of 7.98, and I would like to put a Φ sign in front of it to make Φ7.98, but it seems that there is no way to preserve the original content of 7.98 together with the Φ sign.
Is it possible to keep the original measurement within the string? What is the special character representing the original measurement?
I have a drawing with polylines that are set to color 6 in model space and are also set to color bylayer.
When I go to my layout and click inside my viewport and pull up layer manager and change the viewport color for that layer to color 12, only parts of the polylines change to the color 12 while other parts remain color 6.
If while I'm in the viewport I change the model color as well to color 12, then all the polylines turn to color 12.This is a problem though, because in some layouts I what that layer to be color 6, and in others I want it to be color 12, or 4 or 5 or whatever.
I could not match this situation even if I wanted to where you draw a line, and half of it is one color while the other half is another color.why the viewport color overrides are behaving like this.
