AutoCAD LT :: Dynamic Input Does Not Work?

Oct 7, 2011

No matter whether Dynamic Input is on or off, input needs to be @X,Y in order to draw with relative coordinates.

Many students have installed recently AutoCAD LT 2012 Educational version and this problem appears only with one of them. Dyn Input Settings seems to be equal on all computers.

AutoCad :: How To Disable The Dynamic Input

Sep 6, 2013

I'm writing because I need to disable the dynamic input in AutoCAD.

It's irritating to me, because I'm more used to a much older version of AutoCAD.

Upon searching through the internet I found a thread here that says that I have to set DYNMODE to "0" to turn off the dynamic input. Alas, I have no clue as to at which subfolder of the registry this variable should be.

AutoCad :: How To Adjust Dynamic Input

May 1, 2012

I want to be able to see angles in Dynamic Input with the base line set where I need it to be.

In the red is where AC puts the baseline in the DYN command.

Is there a way for me to "tilt" the baseline so i can use it in ANY angle, like in the blue?

* I am referring to the baseline as where 0 degrees begins*

AutoCAD 2010 :: Dynamic Input Angles

May 30, 2012

When I create a line using dynamic input, I key in the length, TAB, and the angle.  Is there a toggle setting somewhere that will allow me to enter angles greater than 180°?   Drawing Units are set to Base angle north (270°) angles in D-M-S measured clockwise, yet dynamic input angles are measured from east (0°) both clockwise and counterclockwise.  I.E. an input of 90° gives me either north or south, depending on where the cursor is located.

Ideally, I would like to be able to enter either 225° or -135° and have the line head off to the southwest.  So far, I'm stymied and have to resort to command line entry. How to make dynamic input do what I want it to?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dynamic Input At Pointer

Mar 21, 2013

I've been working on a project for a bit and so far everything had been working correctly. But recently I must have mistakenly changed a setting I don't know about because now I am experiencing an issue.

When I am trying to enter a unit at the pointer, for example, the length of a line I am creating, if I use a space, AutoCAD seems to be treating it as ENTER and thus I can not specify my unit correctly.

In other words, if I want my line to be 3'-9 5/8" in length, I can type in 3'-9, but as soon as I hit the space bar in order to type in the 5/8" AutoCAD automatically finishes my line at a length of 3'-9".

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Turn On Dynamic Input

Nov 2, 2012

I can't seem to turn on the dynamic input. I followed the advice to go through Tools-Application Options - Sketch Tab, but then it references a 'Settings' box that doesn't seem to exist (see the attached screen shot). Is there some other option that needs to be turned on?

AutoCad 2D :: Unable To Get Dynamic Input To Work

Nov 7, 2012

I cannot get Dynamic Input to work correctly on my AutoCAD 2013 installation. Polar Format is always the default no matter what the variable DYNPIFORMAT is set to. Neither using 0 or 1 as the setting will enable Cartesian Format to be the default for the second or next point. Changing the settings in the Pointer Input Settings dialogue box to Cartesian Format also has no effect. 2nd point always is entered as Polar Format. The over-ride for cartesian (,) does work though. I simply want the default to always be cartesian .

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dynamic Input / Command Line

May 10, 2012

I've update AutoCAD 2012 to AutoCAD 2013 and I have a problem when I type "L" or "C" to draw a line or a circle, the command line says "Unknown command "L". Press F1 for help". It's the same thing if I fully type the command "line" or "Circle". But some other commands works normally.

Working on:
Windows 7
Intel Core i7 2.93Ghz
8 Go RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800

AutoCAD LT :: Block Grip Dynamic Input Changed

Nov 14, 2013

I changed something about how AutoCAD displays and enters data for block grips.

It used to display the current value for the parameter when I dragged a grip.  For instance grabbing a grip for a linear parameter would give me the current length of the parameter and if I typed 24" into the dynamic input it would change the parameter's value to 24"

Now the grips behave as if they were ordinary entities.  For example if I grabbed a linear grip that had a value of 12" the displayed value is 0.  As soon as I move it displays the value of the difference.  Stretching it to 16" will display 4" when it used to display 16".  If I were to type in 16" however the parameter shoots to 28" (12" + 16")!See, it's giving me the polar distance I dragged the grip and not 2'-2" (the value of the linear parameter) like it should.

AutoCad 2D :: Dynamic Input Options Stopped Working

Mar 9, 2012

One minute it was working, and then suddenly I can not use the "down arrow" to access the additional dynamic input options. It must be a profile setting, because it works in all my other profiles.

How to turn it back on?

AutoCad :: Dynamic Input Arrow Down Menu Doesn't Pop-up

Mar 13, 2012

I can't find a solution to make it pop-up. It works when I want to stretch the line clicking a grip though.

I wonder if my AutoCAD got corrupted or there's a setting for it. I lean to believe it's the former.

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2010 - Dynamic Input Keeps Turning Back On?

Feb 15, 2011

For example, whenever you use the distance command it automatically turns the dynamic input back on. We have turned off the settings under drafting settings - dynamic input. I have also turned off the tooltips under options - display tab. Is there a patch or update?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Dynamic Input Interrupts Object Snap?

May 21, 2013

I am having this problem for the first time with my most recent install of 2014 on a Windows 8 computer. When copying a line or any other object along another line as a base, when I type the distance that I want to copy the object, it deselcts the autosnap vector that I had specified. For example, now when I copy an object along a line at various intervals, I have to move my mouse after entering the distance each time to enable the object snap to reselect the direction I want to copy it (along a line that should stay selected through the object snap: nearest). 

Is there some object snap or dynamic input setting that I need to change?

AutoCad :: Dynamic Input Displaying Dimensions In Middle Of Line

Sep 21, 2012

I have a problem with Dynamic Input suddenly displaying dimensions in the middle of a line rather than on screen as I work. What I mean is that if I draw a line the length of the line is displayed at the center of the line. When I zoom in to one end of this line the display of the length of the line is no longer displayed on screen but remains at the center of the line. I use AutoCAD 2008.

AutoCad 2D :: Turn Off Dynamic Input Tooltip When Using Distance Command?

Jul 23, 2012

I have recently had my 2007 upgraded to 2010 and I'm finding it annoying that everytime I use the distance command the DYN button turns on and I get too much information on the screen as well as a little box I have to exit everytime. How to keep the DYN button switched off? I'm just happy to have the distance information in the command bar at the bottom.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Drawing Lines Lag With Dynamic Input Turned On?

May 10, 2011

We recently switched to 64-bit ACAD on dell M6500 laptops. I used to use dynamic input all the time, but after the switch I noticed when using Dynamic input turned on, when you go to draw a LINE, after you pick the first point, the mouse "lags" and becomes "glitchy".  I had the problem "fixed" once by our IT guy, he updated the driver or something and everything was fine.

But now it is doing it again.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Direct Distance Entry - Dynamic Input Turned On?

Jan 10, 2013

Did 2013 change the way Direct Distance Entry is handled?

Say I want to start a line a distance of 3 from another line using Otrack and a running endpoint snap.  Before, I could just hover over the existing line's endpoint, move the cursor in the right direction, and enter 3 on the keyboard.  Now in 2013, I need to have Dynamic Input (F12) turned on to get this behavior.  2012 was not this way.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Input Labels And Line Length Based On Two Inputs

May 29, 2013

I'm trying to create a pline in a dynamic block where the length is determined by two values I would input into properties or as attributes. 

The first value 'A' will be a ground surface elevation

The second value 'B' will be a ground water elevation

I would like to the pline to have a length of A minus B. 

I would then also like to have mtext (or any other method of display text) to display the values of A and B.

For example, if I have a ground surface of 102 and a ground water of 91, my line length will be 11, and I can display a label of '102' at the top of the line and '91' at the bottom of the line. 

I've created dynamic blocks before, but none that have used an expression of two values or having to display inputted values. I'm not really sure where to start with this, or if it's even possible.

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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Input 3D Cartesian Coordinates / Batch Input (x / Y / Z)

Feb 4, 2013

My need is to create up to 50 points from the same origin in a three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system but I’d also like to have a labels for each point that show up in the feature tree.

Are there Inventor 2013 plugin (i.e., add-on, 3rd party, AP) to convert a list 3D Cartesian coordinate  system locations (i.e., points) to Inventor to work points(x, y, z)?

I found that I cannot create 3D points in the assembly.  Is this correct? I did find that an Inventor part may be used to create a 3D sketch that creates points in 3D space.  In the past few days, I  found  two ways to create 3D points within a iPRT; the batch way uses an Excel file but it then does not allow me to name the points in the feature tree.  The second way is to create them one at a time but that take way too much time.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Switched From Metric To Imperial

Jan 11, 2012

I have been working on a drawing for a client in the Metric template, everything displayed in metric, measures in metric, etc.  Then this morning when I opened the file, the measurements have switched to imperial.  The profile is still the metric one, and when I enter a value for a line length it is clearly using metric because it goes where I expect it to go, however the numbers displayed onscreen are in imperial.  Is there an easy way to get this to switch back to displaying in Imperial?

AutoCad :: New Layer To Be Switched Off In Existing Viewports

Is there an way that I can get an new layer that I create to be frozen in all existing viewports on my drawing. I know you can freeze an newly created layer for all new viewports but that does not solve the fact that the new layer will show on all existing viewports.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 Function Key Operations Switched

Oct 4, 2012

Just installed C3D on my Dell POS Windows 7 machine (OS is up to date).

I have noticed that the functionality between using the F3 and F8 keys reverses itself when first used. If I hit F3 I turn Ortho ON/OFF. If I hit it again, I turn Osnap ON/OFF. If I do the F3 key, then do it again to get the Osnaps set how I want, then go to the F8 key to set the Ortho mode back to where it was before I hit F3, it changes my Osnap setting, and I end up chasing my tail around and around. I can use the SCREEN buttons down below my working area. but I prefer keys, finding it far easier to hit F3 without even having to look at the key board rather than put my cursor over the little square of turn Osnaps ON/OFF there.
