How can I start up AutoCAD and not have a blank drawing show up?
I work the majority of the time with existing drawings and I am tired of closing Drawing1.dwg every time.
I looked for a command line switch for the shortcut icon, but, no joy.
I want to start AutoCAD LT without the empty drawing. Just AutoCAD and the welcome screen. How can i do that? I always close the first drawing and begin a new one by choosing out of several templates or start with an existing drawing, rename and modify it. For NEW or OPEN i like to use the welcome screen.

I want to modify my default start up drawing. ie. Change my units, grid off, text and dimscale, zoom out, etc.
I have no problem doing all that but don't know how or where to save it so it becomes my default start up drawing.
can you start autocad with no drawing open ?
i would think that some type of script would work or could you change your target on a shortcut?
When I draw a line, is there a way to say, "Start at point (864,0), go exactly 270° down (actually, I can hold down the shift key for that, but I digress...) and end at the other side of the canvas at point (864, 3456)?
A script would probably work well, but I've never dipped into that.
It's as simple as that. How do I change the anchor point from which I'm drawing. I'm using the pen tool on Illustrator CS6 on a tablet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm facing an issue when I start up the AUTOCAD 2013 on Windows.
I clicked on Autocad icon, and a message is prompted saying "Unknown Property" with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside it, and the software do not start up.
The highlights: Yesterday the software was working normaly when happened a black out. I started the computer again and keep working without any issue. Today when I would keep working on the project I couldn't start up the Autocad.
I may have no prior experience of autocad, but I'm pretty sure what it is doing isn't quite right. When clicking on the IPub icon, then 'New', an options window titled 'Insert...' opens. If I click on the 'New' button the same thing happens. If I click on 'Insert Model', I get the same dialogue window. I have started following a tutorial and I cannot get the 'New' > file types window that the video author gets.
I did a reinstall (not an uninstall > reinstall) and the problem persisists. It is the 2013 version on an education license.
I tried to set Polyline.StartPoint to new position (Point3d):
Polyline.StartPoint = myNewPoint3d;
I have "not implemented" exception.
Also, I tried to do it as:
var seg0 = acEnt.GetLineSegmentAt(0);
seg0.Set(newPoint3d(0, 0, 0), seg0.EndPoint);
It doesn't work also. I can do it as:
acEnt.SetPointAt(0, my2dPoint);
But it's 2D point, not 3d
Of course I can remove polyline and create it again, but. How to set start point correctly for 3d point?

scince I installed AutoCAD Map 3D 2014 my Laptop is starting very slow. I have a Thinkpad W530 with a 500GB SSD, so the start up should be really fast. But scince i have AutoCAD the laptop needs about 10 to 15 minutes bevore i can open any programm. (as the lenovo update center says i have the latest drivers)
My girlfriend who has a Dell Inspiron laptop (with a normal HDD) has the same problem scince she installed autoCAD.

2) When I am inserting the second file there is an error message that points of the same number has been found. This I believe is because all points start from 1 onwards. Is that the problem?

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to start a custom line type so that is starts and ends with "O". Right now, the default "FENCELINE1" has circles in it, but it starts and ends with a line.
Here's their code for the line:
*FENCELINE1,Fenceline circle ----0-----0----0-----0----0-----0--
A,.25,-.1,[CIRC1,ltypeshp.shx,x=-.1,s=.1],-.1,1
I already tried just putting the O's at the ends, and that didn't do it.
Below is a picture of what I'm looking to get. The top one is the FENCELINE1, the bottom one is just circles and lines, but that's how I want the linetype to look when they place it... so first click would have a circle, second click would have a circle, and the circles "in" the line would spread out evenly.
Just so you know... this is for guardrail inside a where house where it has the circle pillars on each end with circular pillars in the middle (every 8', but the spacing isn't crucial).

Our company is using 2012Lt and has a couple (3) regular templates we use. The problem is I have to keep going back to the templates and clean them out (txt styles, layers, etc) and what I suspect is happening is that someone starts a new dwg does some work and the auto save kicks in before they "save as".
Question, is there a way to force someone to "Save As' immediately after they start a new dwg?
recently our Autocad LT 2013 has started giving out the "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00007b)" error randomly on program launch. Thinking SP2 would fix it, i tried installing through autocad, but after it says transferring, nothing happens and everything closes and this box comes up. If I go and get the update package and install it manually, i get the same error. This machine is running windows 7 pro x64 and I have already tried a repair, and full uninstall/reinstall.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having problems with my drawing template, I can make changes no problem, but when I use the template to start a new idw file the changes are not in place.
For example; view preferences, I want to work in third angle, I have this selected on the template but each time I start a new idw I have to change it from 1st angle.
e.g. 2; sheet size, I changed it from text to a drawing property, but it doesn't change when I edit the sheet size.
