AutoCad 2D :: Active Coordinate Display When Moving Or Copying?
Jan 31, 2014
When I move or copy an object, it'll show the coordinate distance as you move your mouse. The issue is, the coordinate bounces between the nominal distance based on the units, such as 2' - 7 29/32". Then it will change to some extreme number, such as 2.784807E+01. My first assumption is that the mouse cursor is getting off alignment with the relative start location, or some extreme Object Snapping is going on (OSnap on/off still does the same thing).

When moving the cursor over the drawing, it moves freely and the precision of the coordinates are still working to 4 decimal places. However, when I pick an object to move or copy and then try to move or copy it, the coordinate precision settings are changing to 0 decimal places and I'm unable to move things to exactly where I want - I can only move on a mm by mm basis. How do I return the precision settings of the coordinates back to 4 decimal places so I can move / copy objects without the current constraint I'm experiencing?

How to set or change the active display configuration with .NET. Currently I am sending this task to the command line. See below:
' This subroutine sets the correct display config with the supplied name Public Sub SetCurrentDisplayConfig(ByVal strDisplayConfig As String)Dim strCommand As String = "" strCommand = "-AECDISPLAYCONFIGSETCURRENT " & strDisplayConfig & vbCr AutoApp. Application. DocumentManager. MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute(strCommand, True, False, False) End Sub

I am using AutoCad 2012, with CADDUCT. On my runs of duct that go vertical, I like to stack my tag numbers beside the riser in order, so our installers can easily identify the order without a ton of section views. I am trying to figure out a macro that will do numerous things. Since my tags come out at different rotation angles, I would like to do the following commands.
Rotate object text "TAG #" to 0 degrees
move object text "TAG #" to "Snap from" & "snap insert" 6" below the tag above it
I want the numbers to align by their insert locations up and down the page, and exactly 6" on center vertically from one another. The tag numbers have a node justified to the center up and down of the text.

My company just upgraded to 2013 from 2012, and we are having problems copying and moving dynamic blocks. As we try to re-insert the object(s) after using the copy or move command, they disappear from the screen. If we save the drawing and restart AutoCAD, the objects are there where we inserted them, but we cannot figure out how to make the objects reappear without restarting the program (Undo does not work).
The objects in question are dynamic blocks created with AutoCAD Civil3D 2012. We suspect this might have something to do with conflicts between the two different versions of AutoCAD but we're not sure. There are 5 or 6 of us who have this problem.

my issue is I have created a style for cross sections that work well in one drawing, and need to copy them to our template. I have been able to copy the styles for the section view, section plot, and some section labels that I needed. However, I cannot find out how to copy over the style that labels my corridor section in the cross section view. When I go to look at what type of object style it is, all I get is a "Obect Style" dialog box. I have been trying to open every setting to find it and have had no luck. I have attached three screen shots. The first is what I want the cross-section to look like, the second is what it currently looks like in the template, and the third is the dialog box I am getting.

I am in AutoCAD LT 2008. Within the last few months I have noticed that some of my text is changing from a regular font style to bold when being copied/pasted, moving, and/or stretching. This is also happening with the text in my dimension style. When I check properties, nothing has changed from one text's set of properties to the other. I have not changed any settings that I am aware of since this started happening. In some cases if I paste with a base point, then paste I can avoid this, but not in all cases. I have also opened the text boxes to verify that the bold button did not get activated. This is a very annoying problem and if I don't catch all the text that has been affected it makes drawings look inconsistent.

I just installed a student version of Inventor Pro on my comptuer. I have used this and several other similar software packages before. My problem: when I open a new part file, it takes me to a gray screen. No coordinate axes, view cube, nothing. When I click "Create 2D Sketch," still nothing. Same gray screen. If I draw a line, it doesn't show anything.
I've gone to View -> Object Visibility, and everything seems to be checked off as it should be. I've also clicked User Interface, and it shows the View Cube among other things as being selected.
The software didn't prompt me for an activation key, not sure if that may be relevant to the problem?

After installing photoshop cc on my dell venue 8 pro, the program refuses to register the pressure sensitivity of the active pen display. The device is running windows 8.1 and uses the synaptic pen technology as opposed to wacom. Is there any way for me to force photoshop to either look for the default windows drivers or better yet get proper support for synaptic?

In coreldraw there should be a clear appearance of tool activeness like in attachment. Besides
if any command is keystoreked then the command is displayed and in the center so that user
can understand that the command is performed....
see the attachment as how the tool should be clearly appeared as active

Feature that would pick the right color on the 1st mouse click when working with images that have many colors and shades etc...Today we need to move the mouse over the pixel and click it to select the color under it and make it active, only then we get the RGB/HSV/Alpha info about it.and if its not the correct pixel info we need to select again. etc...
to make the color selection faster and more accurate on the first click and also enable us to select directly only the pixel with RGB info we want.
It would be great to have online/active display of the Color and RGB/HSV/ALPHA information on the pixel under the color picker , in the toolbar like in the picture i have added.this would make color selection easy and with less clicks on the mouse.just move the mouse over the image, look at the color and select the color you need.the data can be placed anywhere, I just placed it there since its connected to the tool.
This would be great to have on other tools, like the (Magical) Fill Bucket so we can select the color we want to fill with other color etc...or the Magic Wand selection tool to select the color with the RGB info we want.

I have a layer I'm resizing and is currently in Transform.When I beging to drag the layer to position while it is in resize the center reference point will jump to my mouse causing me to move the reference point outside of the tranform layer. Normally I would have to click on the reference point and drag it intentionally or hold CTRL and click in the transformed layer to set a reference point, but it since CS6 is had still remainded in CC.
This happens when I transform the layer (Ctrl+T) and then grab the layer to move. I have to put the reference point back to center via mouse or by the reference point on the menu bar up top. Then I can go back and drag my later where I need it to finish my transform.

I'm going to move my image library, catalog and ACR cache to an external drive so that I can work with a consistent set of files and edits on multiple computers. I know what I need to do to move the catalog, and I know how to move the image files to the new drive so that LR is aware of the move.
But what I'd really like to do is copy the image files to the new drive while leaving the existing images on the internal drive as a backup. As far as I can tell, LR doesn't support copying of images within the program. If I copy the files outside of LR, without deleting the originals, LR is going to conitinue to point to the orignal files on the internal disk.
So, if I right click on a folder in the Library module folder tree, there's an option to Update Folder Location, and this seems to do what I need it to do, although I've only tried it on a single folder. Will Update Folder Location work to relink an entire folder tree in one operation?
One related question: Where does LR store it's preferences? One of the catalog specific preferences is Standard Preview Size. My desktop has much higher res monitors than my laptop, so if this setting is stored in the catalog then I'll have to pick one value for both computers. I'm thinking it would be better to use the larger value, for the desktop, but I'm not sure how that will play on the laptop. (It would be nice if this were computer specific, rather than catalog specific.)

Since Edge only has rectangles and ellipses built in as available shapes, how to I/we work with polygon shapes and active mouseover areas INSIDE of these shapes and non-active mouseover areas OUTSIDE of the shapes?
Problem/symptom: when I import a polygon, be it any file format from from Photoshop or SVG from Illustrator, a rectangular border/background (transparent) gets applied, leading to this rectangle defining the mouseover area of the shape - and not the shape itself (be it a star or whatever).
WHAT I WANT: the very shape defines the mouseover area. How do I achieve this?? See examle below:
WHAT I DON'T WANT: how is is now:

I want to select part of an image with just one layer. Say I just flattened the image and have to move one part of. I select it with the rectangular select tool. It seems intuitive that I could then just move what I selected, but when I drag the selection, the selection itself moves without moving what is inside the selection.
If I then remember to click the move tool and try to move what's in the selection (seems to work sometimes, maybe when there's multiple layers?) the entire image moves.
The only way I can move part of the image over is if I make a selection and then cut it (ctrl X) then paste it.
How am I supposed to move part of the flattened image, is there a way I can set it to default to "When I select something, I can immediately drag that selected area around."

After moving a page in my document the master page elements no longer display on screen or in print. If I move the page to a different location in the document the master displays but if it is in the specific position that it needs to be it will not display. The document has multiple Masters and others do work on the page but the one that I need will not. I've tried deleting the page and adding a new one and that does not fix the problem. I've checked and "Hide Master Items" is not checked. The page in question is in position 48 with F-Master applied. If I move it to position 49 it works, 50, it works, 51, or any other it works. If I apply a different master to the page, it works. If I delete the page, add a new page and apply F-Master it still does not work. The only page that this problem is happening on is page 48.

I encounter a problem that I do not understand. I created a little C# routine for Autocad Electrical (2011 and 2012) which adds some drawings to the current project with the following command:
(c:ace_add_dwg_to_project dwg2add paramlst)
This method works perfectly. With the parameter list you can set the Section, Sub-Section and Descriptions of the page properties, exactly what I want. When I start the routine, I check which project is active. If the wrong project is active, I activate the appropiate project with the following command:
(c:wd_makeproj_current wdpfnam)
So, when I want to add drawings to project A and project B is active at the start of the routine, I activate project A and the drawings are added. When I want to add drawings to project A and this project is already active, the drawings are not added to the project. The method mentioned above to add drawings returns nill, which means a failure.
Why is this happening? Is this a bug of Autocad?I already tried to always activate the project I want to add drawings to, but that doesn't matter.

I think it's quite a lot of useless work to always select objects before or during a command, if you manipulate the same set of objects over a longer period of time. Say, as an architect I have a floor plan with a table and chairs. Now I want to copy, translate, rotate and scale the table with the chairs until they fit my floor plan. So I have to select the furniture, copy it, select it again, move it, select it again, rotate it, select it again and then scale it. Of course, there is the "previous" option, but is there a way of keeping a selection set active after the command so you just can go on to the next command without re-selecting the whole thing? My favoured workflow would be: Select the objects, copy them, move them, rotate them, then scale them. The objects should be active all the time and deactivated with ESC after the manipulation.
