AutoCad 2D :: Poplar Tracking Doesn't Seem To Be Working
Sep 18, 2013
I have a drafter that is using AutoCAD LT 2013. When they are drafting it acts like the Snap is on and Poplar tracking does not seem to be working. They do not have Snap on and they are using Polar tracking.
Have looked at all the setting that I can think of and compaired it to my AutoCAD 2009, full version. Our setting are identical. We both have Windows 7. I have mine set to look like XP, they have theirs with a custom looking display.

I love the feature of Object Snap Tracking but for some reason or another it has stopped working. I normally use F11 to turn it on or go through the drafting settings menu to turn it on. The Object Snap Tracking box is checked and should work, but it doesn't. Is there a magic variable that needs to be set?

Having problem of polar tracking extension lines working in one direction, but not perpendicular to that orientation? For example, when drawing a simple rectangle after drawing (2) sides, If I go to snap to my initial starting point to show a vertical extension line to intersect with my third line I am drawing, the vertical extension will not show up, even though the horizontal extension line is visible, and even though it snaps to the my starting point to where I wish have the polar tracking show the vertical extension.

I am having trouble locking onto a temporary tracking point in autocad 2011. I can't seem to find the start tracking icon and it doesn't recognize the 'TT' command. I have a tracking line, I just can't seem to do it in two dimensions.

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.

when drawing lines or moving something, what looks like a tracking point will pop up but then won't go away, it's not selectable, and regen won't get rid of it. a save and reopen is the only way it goes away.
it only does this in 2 of the user log in names, and it's worse in the other one. it puts the x everywhere you click. here's a screen capture of what's going on. the brown x over in the upper right is the trouble. it used to be on one of the lines, but on a regen moved to there. this was just random lines and moving the mouse around to acquire snap and tracking points.

I bought and downloaded PSE11. However, I don't think I disabled my virusware. It took an especially long time to download and I don't know if it downloaded correctly. My blur tool does not work and my "guided" options are not there. What is the easiest fix- uninstall and remove the serial number then reinstall using same serial number? My question with this is- how many times can I do this, and or is there an easier fix? I have PSE11 and LR4 and I am going back and forth between which one to use. I really need all the options to work from PSE11.

I´m working with AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 on Windows 7 and when I use Coordinate Tracking I used to get fatal errors.The error occurs when trying to select a category from the list in the panel on the left. Strange enough, the error doesn´t occur when I first right-click in the list.

All my polar tracking options are turned to Zero.
strangly enough its does give me one tracking option (read line) wile drawing at 5°
and when i draw a square it seems like my plane is off a bit (prolly 5°, looks like a perspective)
Tried fiddling around with the DSETTINGS command but nothing goes.
so i s my plane off, UCS off, also i get sometimes 1 out of 10 times an innorect SNAP ( snap to a point and its off by a 0,x margin. i

I was wondering if there is a way to reset the time tracking in AutoCAD. For example, If I use an existing drawing as a starting point for a new drawing, even if I save with a new file name, AutoCAD tracks form the time the original document was created.

I really like the object snap tracking feature to snap between 2 points intersecting but I find it overly sensitive and hard to get it right the first time.
Is there a way to turn down the sensitivity? I use this feature frequently.

in ACAD 2013 if I use object tracking to space an object or dimension (or anything, really), as soon as type on any key the tracking goes away. What can I do to change this? I do not have this problem in 2012.

I cannot get the Full-Screen Tracking Vector to display. I toggle the button in Options>Drafting and hit apply, but nothing. Help says that the Track path System Variable should be = 1, but when the button is on, the Variable = 0. If I set the Variable = 1, it shuts the button off.

I am trying to get the balloons equidistant from each other and on the same horizontal "line", however when I try to place some balloons, I can not select the correct placement. The balloon is effectively acting like trying to put two magnets with the same polarity together... I just can't get it in the right place.

Having trouble with object snap tracking. At times i am given distances from other objects to work with- which is what i am after.
However in some instances only the model space coordinates are displayed- not distances. Is there any way to ensure that only distances appear?

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.

Having trouble recently with tracking,For example if i start the line tool, and track from a point, i am given absolute coordinates instead of relative coordinates from that initial point. Absolute coordinates are not much useful to me, I want to be able to start a line at a certain distance from another point.

I am trying to come up with a way to track a block or xref in multiple drawings. I have multiple drawings that have the same block in them and I was hoping that there was a way I could find out what drawings have the block without having to open up every single drawing.

I have recently upgraded from LT2011 TO Architecture 2013. I always use perpendicular tracking when copy and pasting but when I want to copy (or paste) a certain distance perpendicular to that object it doesn't like it. It's tricky to explain but say I wanted to copy a block of a teble 1200mm from the original block I'd copy, hover over the basepoint and move my cursor in the intended direction and type in 1200 and enter. The previous version of AutoCAD worked this command fine but since the upgrade I'm having trouble. Surely it's something as simple as changing the drafting settings bit I've gone through them all and no luck.

I've noticed some issues with Osnap tracking not working consistently with a floating command line. It seems to happen especially when trying to track back along an object.
No problems whatsoever when command line is docked.

I am trying to get the "Design Tracking Properties" - "File Subtype" (Please see attached picture)
The following code works, except for "File Subtype"
Set oFileSubTypeProperty = oCompDef.Document.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties").Item("File Subtype")
Set oPartNumberProperty = oCompDef.Document.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Part Number")
Set oStockNumberProperty = oCompDef.Document.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Stock Number")
Set oDescriptionProperty = oCompDef.Document.PropertySets.Item("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Description")

I seem to be having trouble with polar tracking on. With this activated and in front view I can only create a line in up or down (Y) direction. I cannot create a line along the z axis. This happens randomly so I must be overlooking a setting somewhere.

Using iLogic, how to extract data from "Design Tracking Properties" in a revision table to an embedded or linked Excel spread sheet? Design Tracking Properties like "Today's Date", "Designer", "Checked By", "Eng Approved By" are of great interest.

I don't know how useful this will be but I was trying to figure out how to track what item number in an assembly any given part may be. I was thinking that on an individual part drawing I may want to reference the item number that is used in an assembly's Bill of Material for that part. I can't find where this may be stored for retrieval. If I do this I would want it to be automated so that if the BoM were renumbered the part file and drawing would update to the new item number.
This may not be possible since any part may be used in any number of different assemblies with different locations in a Bill of Material. Most of our assemblies use "one off" parts that are only used in that assembly so it may be possible in my particular situation to do this if there is a way to get at the BoM item number and connect it to the IPT file.

I have a problem with polar tracking.Previously it was possible to hover over a point, then define the tracking direction and then specifying the distance. In 2013, the polar and object snap tracking path go away / ends when typing the desired tracking distance. Then the tracking direction has to be defined afterwords, which is new to me.That means that its not possible to define multiple distances continuously AFTER defining the tracking direction.

I used object snap tracking for years.Since I upgraded to AutoCad 2014 why does object snap tracking only work with Dynamic input turned on?
Personally I do not like to work with Dynamic imput on, when I use object snap tracking with out DI turned on it doen't work right. Past versions worked fine. What do I do to get this back?
