AutoCAD LT :: Mouse Behaviour In Parallels On Mac
May 23, 2010
I've got AutoCAD LT 2010 running in Windows 7 under Parallels 5 on my Macbook Pro core i7
I'm getting erratic behavior of the crosshairs when trying to draft. There are two independent problems, depending on which view mode i'm in:
1.
In 'Cristal' or 'Coherence' view the crosshairs move with a lag or delay as i move my mouse. I've seen other complaints about this on forums, but no working solution as far as i can see.
2.
In 'Window', 'Fullscreen' & 'Modality' views, the crosshair movement is initially smother and more responsive, but then i'm getting a weird erratic jog effect when i try to pan around the model (by holding down the middle mouse button and dragging.
Both of these problems are incredibly infuriating and make drafting in Parallels a misery. AutoCAD LT is supposed to be supported in Parallels now so I'd like to know if there's a way of getting around this horrible UI glitch.

In previous versions of PS when you opened the curves adjustment pallette (or added a curves adjustment layer) you could click-point-drag your mouse cursor over areas of the image to reveal where on the curve those luminance values resided. With CS4 I cannot seem to make this happen. Whatever tool is enabled in the toolbar remains active and the usual eyedropper does not appear, nor are the values revealed on the slope of the curve.
Ok.. if I hold the Ctrl key down with my left hand (and hold the phone with my shoulder instead) I do get feedback on the image luminance value. But I also seem to keep unintentionally adding points on the curve when all Im trying to do is determine the luminance range of the subject area.

With previous versions of Photoshop, when an RGB image in a given RGB colourspace was converted to CMYK by choosing Mode -> CMYK, it would convert to whatever CMYK was set as the Working Space in the Color Settings. With CS4 there's a warning dialogue that appears that makes one wonder if CS4 is behaving differently. It now says:
"You are about to convert to CMYK with no color profile. This may not be what you intend. To choose a profile, use Edit > Concert To Profile".
The resulting CMYK would certainly *have a profile* as it's the default selected in the Color Settings > Working Spaces menu. It's the same as if I had a CMYK file and selected Mode > RGB. This would convert from CMYK to whatever default RGB space is set in the Working Spaces menu. Yet from CMYK to RGB there is no such warning. Why not... the same logic would seem to apply.
I think the warning just confuses to user and makes them think an error's about to occur. A more appropriate warning might be:
"You are about to convert to your default CMYK (Color Settings > Working Spaces). This may not be what you intend. To choose another profile, use Edit > Convert To Profile".

I am using CS3 under Vista and am using a Wacom Intuos tablet.
For no reason I can think of, the crop tool has started only extending itself into a rectangular shape covering about a third of any image I use it on. In other words, it is impossible to extend its area to the extent I want within, or co-terminous with, the image boundary - it will only go so far across and so far down. This applies to any image, whatever its shape and size.
I can't think of what might be causing this and would like to avoid a reinstall if I can.

I want to create a rig with physics behaviour of a marionette. It should be able to behave the way you manipulate a real marionette in real (over their strings) inside the viewport. I found a guy who did this in maya. Here is the link to a video:

...around minute 3:10 you will be able to see how I want it. Is this possible in 3ds max too ? Maybe the new one 2012 ?

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and originally thought that I would be able to switch between boot camp and parrallels to run Inventor. After reading several threads there seems to be a problem with the Inventor Licience breaking if you switch from on environment to the other.
Has tried using the Lic. Transfer Utility when switching between the two. I know it sounds like a hassel, but shouldn't that work? I sure that isn't how it Utility was designed, but since the program thinks that you have changed computers?
I haven't tried this personally, but really that Inventor running thru boot camp would be the best environment for serious work and I could use parallels when I need to less intensive design or review?
I have loaded parallels 6 and windows 7 as a virtual machine with boot camp. I haven't loaded Inventor but plan on doing that today?

Can you import files from autocad windows 7 (using mac w/ bootcamp or parallels) to sketch-up and photoshop on Mac os x 10.8.5? If so, what is the easiest way to do so? Also, would Parallels or Bootcamp be better for going between the operating systems?

If there's a conflict between the UI for teh AutoCAD drawing window and Parallels? There seems to be a consistent change in mouse behavior when the mouse moves to the AutoCAD drawing window when running AutoCAD ('11, '12, '13, '14) under Parallels (5, 6, & 7).
Since Parallels is now officially supported.

how to turn off the mouse function when the mouse cursor moves over a feature, such as an edge, point, or surface, and highlights it. I don't want it highlighting the features automatically. I want it to highlight once I click over a feature. My colleagues and I are very distraught by this feature, and will be discontinuing our use of your products that do not allow us to turn this feature off. I'm not sure why you'd want to weed your customer base like this, assuming that I can't turn this option off from the research I've done pouring through the hundreds of complaints related to this issue. I haven't been able to find any posts recently, or regarding Inventor 2013 specificially on this issue, so I was hoping this version had the option of turning it off. Does any of Autodesk's software, such as AutoCAD, have the option of turning it off?

My Dell computer running WIN7 just died and we have replaced it with an iMac running Parallels/WIN7. I have tried to install my CS4 on the new machine and have the following problem. Disk 1 loads fine and goes to the end and asks for Disk 2. I insert Disk 2 and it won't continue the install. I have opened the disk and all files are in good shape.

I have Photoshop CS5 running on a MacBook OS 10.8 under Parallels/Windows XP. When I try to "Save as", the dialog box does not come up. I have installed the latest update. The other CS5 programs (e.g., Dreamweaver and Fireworks) do not have this problem. Also, when I try to do a "Save for Web and Devices", the dialog box DOES come up, but it is oversized for the window and cannot be resized to make the control buttons accessible.

using CorelDraw 5 with Parallels 7 on a MacBookPro to access Windows 7 and CorelDraw X5 -
Normally CorelDraw x5 will launch Photo Paint when you choose Edit Bitmap from Corel Draw. Then you can edit in photo paint and on save and close you are back in Corel Draw and able to continue there. However this is not the case for me with Parallels 7. It does not launch Photo Paint as expected.

Problem: When doing a series of rapid mouse clicks, Autocad does not always register the clicks. For example, I'll use move, and when clicking on a line to move, it wont' see that I clicked on the line. I also notice that my crop box does not always work to select objects when i'm going fast. some times it does not show, others is goes to random points on the screen while still selecting the areas i've clicked in.
I've only noticed this problem when I'm in "the zone" and am clicking very fast, when I go slow, it picks up the clicks. its very frusterating knowing that I can't work as fast as I can without having the click input issue. I mostly notice this problem with commands like, erase, trim, move, and extend.
I do have my system set up for right mouse click as 'enter' via the autocad options, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
- It is not the computer system ( I recently got an upgrade at the office )
- Its not my mouse. I've tried several mice, and at home, in games and such, I don't get the fast click issue.
- I've changed the double click speed in the control panel when opeing folders, but no luck.
- its not an OS issue, happens in both XP and Win7, and shouln't be a computer hardware issue, considering I just jumped from a P4 to a new Haswell system.
- I don't know if it happens on other versions of autocad

I am running autocad lt 2011 with the latest windows 7. My mouse is very jerky within paper or model space but especially when I try linear demand or line demand.
I have tried accessing performance tuner but cannot find it, I have reset my hardware accelator to 0. I am not using an aero graphic within windows and am checking my graphics card.

I have just bought a new laptop to try and be a bit more mobile.I have upgraded and loaded AutoCad 2012, no problems so far.The problem I have is when the program is opened and I hover the mouse off the drawing area over the ribbons etc,I unplugged my wireless mouse and used the touch pad as I thought the mouse was the problem, no good.
I have checked the display and graphics drivers and they are all up to date.I did a bit of a search regarding this problem. One suggestion was to change the display settings from 32bit to 16bit, this did no good. Also another was to change the Hardware Acceleration, and some people said this worked for them. However I tried this but the button was greyed out and wouldn’t allow me to change.I had no problems with XP Pro, I am beginning to hate this Win 7 operating system, I can’t understand why Microsoft always have to change things when it’s not broken.I eventually wanted to have this Laptop plugged into my 27inch monitor and use it as a desktop computer, but have the mobility.

I have AutoCAD LT 2011 and a 3D Connexion space navigator. My problem is that whenever I move the mouse, the command that I'm currently on gets canceled. For example, if I am moving something and it's asking me for the target location and I move the 3d mouse to navigate there, I get canceled out of the move command. This essentially means I can't use my 3d mouse for commands (a big problem!).
