AutoCad 2D :: Turning Off Parametrics

Aug 2, 2012

Acad Architecture 2013 30 day trial running as Options>Profiles>Autocad.

How to turn off parametrics? In Paperspace, things keep on acquiring parametric constraints and then can't be moved without affecting other things. All too advanced for me.

Parametric>Constraint Settings>AutoConstrain>Clear All is set (which produces warning that "Geometric constraints will not be applied" - hopefully) and >Geometric>Infer geometric constraints is unchecked.

Yet still new contraints keep coming. And even when all elements (whole drawing) is selected and Parametric>Delete Constraints is clicked, some constraints remain.

AutoCad 3D :: Turning 2D Skateboard Into 3D?

Aug 3, 2011

I entered a skateboard design contest and I have completed the 2D layout for the board, however, I want to go a step further and make it into a rough 3D illustration.

Here's what I have:

TOP:

SIDE:

My idea is to extrude the outline of the board for so many units, then take the side view item to slice through the side of the extruded board outline. After that I plan to delete the unnecessary 3D material.

Essentially I want to get to this and then delete the leftovers, but be left with a 3D shell of the board:

AutoCAD LT :: Selection Preview Turning Off

Mar 19, 2013

Why does this keep turning off?  When I start up ACLT 2013, both boxes are checked.  I just went to use the program again, didn't close the file even, and the boxes were unchecked, ie. nothing would highlight as I moved over them.

AutoCad 2D :: Turning Off 3D Modeling (shift And Pan)

Jun 16, 2011

I have put the Pan function on my middle mouse button. (If that wasn't already standard).

But every time I use shift to deselect and pan at the same time, it will rotate my 2D drawing in 3D.

Is there a way to turn that off? Without removing Pan from my middle mouse button.

I have turned off the View Cube, but that doesn't work.

I can of course try to take my finger off the shift key when i Pan, but I automatically do both commando's at the same time and it will be a pain to teach my self other ways.

My part does everything I want with threads but the other option I need to program is a straight hole with no threads. I assume I can do this with Param for the existing hole but not sure what it would be called? Is there a list or method of determining what these parameters are called so I'll be able to find them in the future?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Turning Visibility Off In ITW File?

Mar 19, 2012

I use INV2012.  It was very easy in the older version of INV to switch off all unwanted items in drafting.  But, now we have to work with design view rep.  Currently, I am working on a drawing which has surfaces.  Though I saved the view rep without those surfaces, still I am getting it in drafting.  I have unchecked assosiative in drawing view rep still no use.

AutoCad :: Turning The Navv Cube Off Permanently

Jun 10, 2010

I have recently been upgraded to AutoCAD 2011 and have noticed that the Navv Cube is on. I have found by typing in the command NAVVDUBEDISPLY and selecting 0 that this turns it off however it seems to be set to turn back on every existing drawing unless it has been switched off in that drawing and then saved. I didn't use AutoCAD 2010 but have been told that the Navv Cube was turned off unless you selected it to be on. Is there anyway to have toe 2010 option or is this another feature of AutoCAD that they don't want to have changed

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Lock Current Layer - Turning On / Off

Apr 9, 2012

Is there a way to lock the current layer (to say layer 0) so that is STAYS the current layer regardless of my isolating, turning layers on and off etc?

Really annoying to keep getting those "Are you sure you want to turn off the current layer" messages and it would prevent me from either drawing thing on a layer I don't intend to, or drawing on a layer which is off (which confuses me every time).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Linework And Text Turning Gray?

May 23, 2013

Using 2013 C3D.  My text and linework is now gray.  During opening/initializing of drawing, everything appear fine until it finishes loading, then everything is gray.  It just started yesterday when I was bringing in shp files of wetlands in various ways (dragging/dropping, fdo conect and mapimport).  Maybe the shp file had nothing to do with it, but I've never seen cad do this. 

When I grip the line, the color in layer comes up as correct color, but the line on screen is gray.  Also if I copy the multileader or line, the color reverts back to correct color until I save, exit and reopen.  BTW - the only thing that isn't gray is my civil 3d pipes and structures. 

why everything is turning gray??

AutoCAD 2010 :: Turning Off Lines In Nested Blocks?

May 30, 2013

 Autocad 2011

wondering if its possible to turn off lines inside of nested blocks.

When we tried to do this inside a heavily layered and blocked drawing, it seemed to make the file unresopnsive, unloadable, and general "autocad freezing" issues. We Reconsitituted the entire file from the ground up and found that by NOT turning off these lines inside of nested blocks (ceteris parabis) the file works fine.

We like to turn these lines off becuase different teams are working on different parts of the drawing and we like to focus on one section by turning the other off. Is this possible? Is there a better way to do this?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Hiding Constraints - How To Keep Them From Turning Back On

Jun 7, 2012

I'm trying to find an option to hide all constraints in a drawing, I am familiar with the toolbar option to turn display constraints on and off but my issue is that it's not a permanent toggle.  Every time I change from a paper tab to the model tab or activate a viewport the constraint display is automatically turned on again and I must wait for the constraints and the drawing to generate.  When playing checker I am frequently changing tabs or checking within a viewport, this is adding significant time required to check the drawing.  I have not been able to locate a system variable or command to "freeze" the constraints until I want to see them again.  an option to allow me to turn off constraint displays as I'm desiring or is this a Wish List item for R2014?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Tick Marks Not Turning Off With Layer

I have been working on a drawing and out of the blue, when I opened it the other day, all this tick marks where peppered all over the drawing. I discovered they were like point marks from dimension layers that were turned off. If I freeze the layer on top of turning it off, the tick marks do go away. I am running an old version of Autocad, 2007.
