AutoCad 2D :: Disable Menu That Appears When Hover Over Polyline?
Apr 12, 2011
I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the menu that appears when you hover over polyline nodes/vertices in Autocad 2011.
I use mainly typed commands and am finding that when I select a polyline, I go to type a command and because my mouse is still on the polyline, half the time it ends up performing a completely different command because the menu has appeared in the meantime.
Using CS5, when I have multiple images open, it open in tabs which I like. However, when I put my cursor over a tab, a bubble appears that says the exact same thin it does on the tab. However, with the bubble there I can't click on the tab beneath it to select it or to delete it.
This is actually a huge problem when I make camtasia videos where I want to switch between tabs during a voice recording because I can't select different tabs smoothly.
How can I make it so nothing appears when I put my cursor over a tab (I want to keep using tabs though. This feature is great).
I'm editing blueprints for my summer job and I was wondering if there was a way to add a text field to the hover over menu of a region or polyline. I simply want to add the function of the room to the hover menu.
One of the computers running Inventor in my educational setting has all of the menus options show as squares. A screen shot is attached. In Application Options everything is set the same as the other computers and Tahoma is the font. Yet the menu does not appear as Tahoma.
how to turn off the brush pop up menu when you hold the wacom pen on the canvas for a couple seconds. this makes drawing a circle impossible as it creates a small straight line first because the program is thinking if i want this menu to pop up or not. I have tried disabling it in my wacom preferences with no success,
illustrator scripting but have some knowledge in indesign scripting using javascript.In Indesign we can disable menu item thru menuActions.. Is there any object available like that to disable a existing menu (eg. File>Save).
I was wondering whether we can disable/enable any menu item/group in Illustrator? I am working on Illustrator CS4, 5 on windows. To be more specific, can we disable the kSaveMenuGroup, so that the save options appear disabled..?? I tried using the methods described in AIMenuSuite structure reference. But, this only disabled the pre-defined groups added by the plugins.
When I work the photo (JPG, TIFF or PSD) to where it is what I want, the preview is darker in the print preview. Probably one f/stop in photo terms. And, THIS is how it actually prints.
What is causing that? And, is there a fix?
None of the "show paper color," etc. are checked, so that is not causing the difference.
I'm very careful with my work to keep my lines on the same elevation and and I fillet and trim so that boundaries should be closed but AutoCAD always finds some problem with my work when I try to hatch an area by picking a point, often claiming boundary failures with those little red cirlces NO WHERE NEAR the area I was trying to hatch!
Even more infuriating is how it seems to have NO problem temporarily hatching the area while I hover before picking the point. If it can display what it might have looked like, hasn't it found the boundary? Or were these two features coded by people working in opposite ends of the building?
Coming from MDT I'm having a hard time adjusting to some of the features that are missing in Inventor. One of which was a command that allowed me to hover over any part in MDT and it would show me the part name and if it was a structural steel item would show me the G_L or length. I cannot find this feature in Inventor and don't even know if this is available. This allowed me to open an assembly and quickly go through it and see what it's made of. Where to turn it on or get it?
when I hover the cursor over my own custom toolbar buttons, I get the message "Press F1 for more help" you can then go to F1 but that only for Autocad commands not my own programs. My question is how can I get rid of the message "Press F1 for more help" when the cursor is over my custom program buttons?
Is there a way, when you are drawing a polyline, to have the tooltip box show the cumulative length of the polyline, rather than the length of the current segment being drawn?
Due to modeling purposes, I need to convert a 3D polyline to a spline. What I have been doing is:
- change polyline fit/smooth to cubic from properties - convert polyline to spline by typing spline -> object - method -> fit from properties
You can see the original 3D polyline (green) and the resulting spline (magenta) in the attached drawing.When I zoom in and measure the distance between the two entities at different points along them, at some points the perpendicular distance exceeds 5 millimeters, and I want to ensure the deviation remains under 1 millimeter or even less.
I know I can change the knot parameterization of the spline, and this does work at some locations, but the difference increases at others.Why is there a 5.6 mm difference between the spline fit point and 3D polyline vertex, as measure in the attached drawing?
Now, I can go and manually stretch the fit point to coincide with the vertex. Also, I can add fit points between existing ones to drag the spline closer to the original 3D poly.
However, some of my polys are really long, and it is very time-consuming to do this manually while measuring points along the entities to make sure the distance stays small enough.
how to automate this process? For example a lisp that would maybe take the original vertex points, add say maybe 3 (not too many) new ones between them, and then generate a spline while making sure the deviation is less than the set value of 1mm? I am using AutoCAD 2013.
I've been working on a custom polyline object, and I've got it functioning!!Having said that, I plan to run its creation around picking a point for bounary selection.
(Other than trying to step through every vertecies) is there a technique I can thow the polyline data from a traceboundary result into my custom object? I've been trying to add the polyline from traceboundary to my object BEFORE it's added to the transaction by the way...I assume that's right, since I want to put it's data in my custom object then add my custom object to the transaction instead.
Is there any way at all to draw a new polyline - from the endpoint of another polyline, and have it automatically join as one polyline from the existing section??
I know this can be done via PEDIT, but its so laborious and soo many clicks, and I have alot of segmented Polylines that I need to consolidate when I draft.
For some reason when I hover over all of the icons of the various tools, it does not give me a description of what they are. How can I turn this on/activate it?
I have a client who would like me to create a portfolio for him displayed in a manner similar to the one on this page:[URL]
I know how to create an animation where the visitor can click on the small image and a new frame appears with the large image on the right, but I cannot figure out how to have the small image change upon hover-over before the visitor clicks on it.
I have created 2 symbols "Level1" and "Level2" and I did hover on the button at "Level1" symbol then when I click on that button it goes to symbol "Level2", hover on the button works perfect on desktop browsers, but on iphone the hover is not working.
The code I use for transaction from symbol to another symbol is:
sym.createChildSymbol("Level2", "Stage");
and for the hover I use mouseover: "sym.play("BA");" action to play the label at symbol "Level1".
What I am trying to achieve is at click on the button on iphone to make the hover play first then it should go to another symbol.
I am trying to get an animation where the user hovers over one of 13 stars on string. What I am after is when they hover over one it looks like its been knocked and starts to swing for a shot amount of time.This should happen to them all. I have this code but it doesnt want to play!
Mouse Leave:
$(this.lookupSelector("star-1")).playReverse();
Mouse Enter:
$(this.lookupSelector("star-1")).play(0);
When you add more and more stars it just stops working.
happens with two different images. Haven't done any system updates for a week or more, nor added any actions or plugins. I do have a Wacom tablet that occasionally runs amok* until I unplug and replug its USB cable. It did that recently, but can't remember when. I can clip two layers by using opt+click on the little icon that loads an adjustment layer.
