how to change the DTEXT command to be typed on a specified layer. I have poked around and came across some macros editing but this did not do the trick.
[&DText]^C^C-layer;s;TEXT;;dtext;
autocad lt 2010 crashes when I hit the enter key.
example: typed UCS in command line then hit enter key and crashes.
I installed update 1 & 2. still crashes.
restarted computer,still crashes.
Any thoughts besides unistalling and reinstalling?
Is there a setting controlling typed text visibility in the command line when using a leader? In 2004, text would show in the command line as it was typed. Now, to see what I am typing, I have to enter the leader dialogue box.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to know if I have understand this correctly or not: layer previous undos the last change in layer related command. Then If my last action is on layer, unod command will do the same. layer previous advantage is when you want to perform an undo which is not your last action.

I like what I see with A2k12 but all this vb.net stuff has me quite frustrated. So many programs to convert so little time.
At one point I had a layer command that I could select a line, type in the layer I wanted (with no extra prompts required) and it would change. The best part is if the layer didn't exist it would automatically create it (without prompting me Y/N).
Using LAYMCH in the command line is very close. However I have to press N for name, then enter the layer. If it is a new layer, it prompts me Y/N.
In Photoshop 8 (CS2) a typed character doesn't display until another character is typed or until I leave the text layer.

Text nexer is visible on the photo Background image. If the edited image is saved, the added typed text is not saved; only the original Background image. How do I reset the Text Tool so it will be functional?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am currently writing a series of routines for setting the layers for text, leaders and dimension commands. The end goal is a system where any annotation command sets the correct layer for the duration of the command, then reverts back to the layer that was active before the command.
I have managed to complete all the code, and it appears to be working fine, I just have one question: I have used -layer "m" "Lay_name" etc... for all layer setting commands, rather than any code to see if the layer exists already. In my limited testing this seems to be suitable, nothing that exists on that layer seems to be affected.
I know how to write code to determine if the layer exists already and set the layer instead, but so far it seems unnecessary??

dtext function not working. when doing dtext but using the insertion point of some previous text. will not move to next line unless some text placed on first line. is there a setting, no issue in 2011
If you have a VP color asigned to a layer and you edit single line text on that layer by going into modelspace thru the viewport, the text reverts back to its modelspace color. It does not do it with MTEXT and moving or copying the text doesn't change it. The only way I've found to change it back is to change the color in properties and the change it back to by-layer.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've received a drawing from a client today and in it there are several text styles. One has Arial as its font. When this text style is current and we insert some dtext AutoCAD does not prompt for the text rotation angle, it uses the last rotation angle we used.
As far as I know there is no system variable that controls this behaviour, or have I missed it. Other delivered text styles do not have this problem.
Any lisp routine out there to append (prefix) text to dtext?
i have 100s of dtext that has numbers in them, and i need to place the "#" symbol in front of them now.
I am trying to get DText objects to update width factor when I change the Width Factor of the Text Style. We have one style (Simplex) & I hoped to be able to set the width factor of that style to 0.8 or 1.2 depending on what is required and then just insert objects from the tool palette so they have the correct width factor.
This seems to work for MText but not for DText or Attributes. Short of using lisp is there a to update the width factor of DText & Attributes? (hoping to be able to do this on LT also)
Only way I can see for DText is to qselect text and change style to something else and back to Simplex. Only way for attributes I've found is to advance edit block and change text style to something else and back.

I am trying to select multiple instances of text (dtext) with different strings but want to change all of the fomats to the same settngs. I have searched high and low on the web to no avail. I am using AutoCAD 2012.
For example: I want the routine to find all instances of "AA", "AB", "AC", "AD", "BA", "BB", "BC", "BD", etc... all the way up to "ZD".
Next I want all of those text entities to change to the following text formats:
Text Style = STANDARD_96Layer = F-ANNO-CKTText Justification = MIDDLE CENTERText Width = .8
Getting this to work with just finding one string at a time with the ssget function seems simple enough, but it's getting it to work with multiple strings that I can't get past.
I am looking for the correct TypedValue to get only polylines.

I need a selection filter to find text objects within a rectangular area using dxf operators (do not want to use Editor.SelectWindow).
Whats wrong with the following code attempt?
It causes Fatal Error!
TypedValue[] tv2 = new TypedValue[15];
tv2.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Start, "TEXT"), 0);
tv2.SetValue(new TypedValue((int)DxfCode.Operator, "<and"), 1);

Often we have to re-type the same number (value) in the command line. Not the point coordinate triplet, but a single number as input, for example in Move Copy command.
I always wonder if there is a trick in AutoCAD to recall the previously typed-in number quickly and easily (apart from Ctrl+C Ctrl+V method).
Microstation does it very conveniently by pressing up and down arrows in Accu-draw dialog, and even places a graphical mark on the screen when cusor moves over the previously entered value.
I need a lisp can change all elements in block to layer 0 except layer defpoint but still keep linetype, color as it is.

I am currently running Inventor 2009 64-bit SP2 and periodically (and only recently), I have had the problem of my keyboard keys not displaying what I am typing. This is only affecting Inventor and no other program to my knowledge. To make matters worse, it happens absolutely randomly. In fact, it happened just 4 minutes ago, which prompted this post! I was typing some words out and in the middle of the word, it changed what the inputted keys were. To give an example, the letter P comes in as L. The letter S, comes in as the letter G. The letter M comes in as semicolon. Catch my drift? At first I thought it changed to a Dvorak key setting, but even if that were the case (which it is not), why would it do it randomly?

View 7 Replies View RelatedA company I used to work for had a custom set of dimensioning tools in the tool palettes. We had issues with people dimensioning on the wrong layers and they included an instruction(?) in these custom commands to dimension using the correct layer i.e. current layer set to 'Border', select custom linear dim command and dim is drawn in 'Dimension' layer.
My question is, what to add to the macro in the properties when creating such a command button to do this? ^C^C_dimlinear <add something here to use a specific layer?>
I currently use Autocad LT 2007 and every time I use the llayer command Auticad crashes.
