I am using autocad lt 2014 and have some multi leaders on a tool palette that work fine but if I hit enter or right click for enter the multi leader will use what ever leader is set from the multi leader style that is set on the multi leader style control, but only the leader will come in wrong the text will come in correct.
2012 drawings are not showing multi-leaders, when opened in 2007. We saved the 2012 drawings down to 2004. These same multileaders are not printing either.
I am using annotative multileaders in model space. When I view my layout drawing in paperspace, they are not there. The layer is not turned off or frozen, the layer is set to plot. When I turn off the annotative feature, then I can see them in paper space (and plot preview).
For some reason, the tool palette I usually use is not accessible. I opened a drawing that a co-worker was using and my tool palette now looks like an old version - it doesn't have any of my custom tools in it. How do I get back my tool palette??
I have code like this: 'ensure single instance of this app...Friend Shared m_ps As Autodesk.AutoCAD.
Windows.PaletteSet = Nothing' Define command<CommandMethod("TestPalette")> _Public Sub DoIt()'check to see if paletteset is already createdIf m_ps Is Nothing Then'no so create itm_ps = New Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet("My First Palette")'create new instance of user controlDim myPalette As Container1 = New Container1()'add it to the palettesetm_ps.Add("My First Palette", myPalette)End If'turn it onm_ps.Visible = TrueEnd Sub
in this code has a only one palette ( tab ) but , ı want to make 4 or 5 palette . how can I do thiswith vb.net ?
My question has to do with the Annotation Tool Palette out-of-the-box. For a given scale, the Call out bubble circle and text is a different size from the Section call out. See attached image.
I am using AutoCAD 2011. Because when I typically draw a circle I use the center, diameter style to create a circle. The factory default is Center, Radius. I would like to make the center, diameter my default setting whenever I chose to draw a circle. I would like to know how to make that change then how do I get it onto a custom tool palette?
I am trying to add a block to my tool palette. I am able to add it, but when I click on the palette to add it to a drawing, it acts like it's going to work but nothing shows up in the drawing. I have added it to the source drawing, saved the source drawing, dragged it into the palette. All is well until I try to place it in a drawing. The other blocks work fine.
I heard tool palettes are easy to create and use? I am being able to drop in doors and windows into plans. Is there an easy way to create these tool palettes?
We use autocad 2011 and we are trying to create a new tool palette. We have no problem dragging and dropping to our existing tool palettes, but we can not drop to anything new we create. We do not have any read/write issues. I have tried saving workspace, restarting CAD just erases the palette i tried to create.
Is there any option to load the dll on every drawing opened, like vba macro is loaded in start up suite. or is there any possibility to open a tool palette on every drawing opened.
Quite often when I open drawings or just open AutoCAD my tool palete is there but none of the tools are there to select from? If I reset the tool palette it does the same. Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still happens. I'm using AutoCAD LT 2013 for Mac. Screen shot attached.
I have created one drawing with 10 Layouts in different formats(A1,A0...etc) and with different Legends on it. I need to give these layouts to lot of users, where everyone uses one layout out of 10 in their drawing. Is there any way to add them in tool palette like dynamic blocks? or is it possible to add thme as a ribbon in the dwg template?
I have just updated a whole load of block symbols as some numpty didn't put them on layer 0. When i have created a tool palette of the symbols, 4 of approx 30 symbols have got such a tiny tool image, that its impossible to see them, but oddly the rest are fine.
I have checked the blocks are zoomed to extents, checked the drawing limits are the same ones that are okay, and checked that the size of the block is the same, effectively i can not see any difference between the blocks. Even when i increase the image size to max in the tool palette view options the symbol is to small to identify. Oddly in windows explorer and in ACAD design center there is no issue with the tool image size.
Whilst i could manually create a new image, and tell the tool palette to use it, if this happens with all the blocks, it could be time consuming, when there could be a very simple answer i have over looked.
m_ps As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet = Nothing If m_ps Is Nothing Then m_ps = New Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet("Test") Dim myPalette As EPSSN = New Test() m_ps.Add("Test", myPalette) m_ps.Size = New Drawing.Size(354, 591) m_ps.Visible = True end if
In my tool palette is have some controls. In some systems entire palette is visible completely, but in some systems, the bottom controls in the palette are not visible where the system settings are different. Is there any option to display scroll bar in the tool palette automatically?
It seems unlike previous PC's, when i sart up AutoCAD my new set up reverts the location of the tool palletes to open center to my screen 1 even after i have positioned it on screen two.
I understand the tool palette should hold its location in the position i last placed it.. in screen two. as do you toolbars....
Why does the tool palette keep reverting back the center location on my screen, not where it was placed
I have created a tool palette with all the blocks that I use on a daily basis. The only thing is that now when I put my cursor on the palette I have no icons just words. When I adjust the size to the palette my icons appear.
I have created a custom office standards tool palette for the users, and it is properly loaded on all the machines. The issue is that when the 'Tools' button on the ribbon is pressed, it loads to the 'design tools' palette by default. Most user here have the habit of closing the tool menu after use, and reopening it from the menu - which defaults back to the design tools palette instead of the office standards... which is frustrating when jumping back and forth constantly. I assumed there was an easy way to tell them to set the 'standards' as the default, but I can't seem to find this property anywhere.
I recently got a new drafting job for a chemical plant. The issue that I am having is that they are using AutoCAD 2004. That version came out when I was a freshman in high school and I am lost. I am trying to insert the custom blocks that pertain to our design standards, but I am getting nowhere.
I have the blocks in a separate folder. I am getting to the customize tool palette option, but every time I try and import these files the folders show up empty. Admittedly, I am not the greatest with the complexities of AutoCAD because I picked it up on the job and never had any "official" training; however, it has also been two years since I've had to do this and I am a little rusty... I'd like to think it's just that because they are using decade old software.
In LT2008. Dragging blocks (individual files) from ADC to tool palette. Some of the images are unreadable, just a dot or two. The drawing files are saved with the image filling the screen. Changing the size of the image in the tool palette does not work. I have tried plotting to .jpg and .png, the images are grayed. What is the best way to make a nice image for the tool palette to display at a medium size?
