I try to make a linetype which contains only plus sign. (+ + + + + + + +)
*EMRE,artı S,0,-0.5,[EMRE,C:UsersuserDesktopplusemre,y=.06788,s=.3 33333],-.5
But, there is a dot at start and end points of (+) sign. result is like this; (.+ .+ .+ .+ .+ .+ .+ .+ .+ .+) of course dots are smaller. so is there any way to remove that annoying dots from my linetype?
I have a custom linetype that's just a series of arrows I want to use to show the flow of a ditch. I've played around with this thing for a while and have these dots at each end of the line that shows up when I print.
Is there any way to make this linetype without the dots at each end? the actual files for the line type.
FLOW.lin
*FLOW,A,0,-.002,.148519,[FLOW,FLOW.shx,s=1],-.449481
I'm using inDesign CC right now and I'm having trouble WITH removing placeholder dots from my paragraphs from a newsletter that I'm designing (which is due today). I copied and pasted the stories from e-mails, and placeholder dots came with thrm. I've been trying to remove them, but I don't know how.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI created a Multileader style in AutoCAD LT 2011 that worked pretty good. Basically a keynote callout with a tick on one end and a circle on the other end. After using AutoCAD LT 2012 it was noticed that there was a small dot in all the circles. It seems that if your Multileader type is set to "block", your source block is set to, whatever (triangle, circle, etc...), and most importantly, if your attachment is set to "Insertion Point", a very small dot is placed in the insertion point. It prints as well. When the same drawing is opened with AutoCAD LT 2011, the problem disappears.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a jpeg that I am wanting to paint on a 12x15ft canvas. I was thinking of doing like a grid system with 4 inch spaces between lines, and finding the distance from the lines on the jpeg to the edges of the canvas and then connect the dots.
IE a dot 48 inch from top, 108 from left side which connects to a dot 4 inches down (size of grid) until i have an outline.
When viewed with x-ray visual style on autocad 2012 the view used to smooth as if I were looking through glass. When I view the drawing with autocad 2008 I get small dots or "x" all over my solids. Now Ive worked on the drawing on 2008 saved it and opened it in 2012 and now the dots or "x"s are happening in both versions. I used to think it was a video card issue but now that it's happening both places it can't be. How I get back the smooth glass look I had on 2012 version.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe inherited an AutoCAD DWG for a project and were plagued with the warning about missing SHX files every time the file opened. We could not obtain the SHX file, so ran the purge LISP routine from here [URL]
Now, we don't get the warning any more, but the insulation batting (and several other styles) that previously displayed correctly now just display as a a row of dots.
When printing a plan with a background mask, the mask shows as a bunch of ting gray dots. Also we have a plot style, using STB, that is supposed to print white, but it too prints as a light gray hatch. It is not that big of a deal until we scan to run sets. The dots and hatch get picked up more intensely by the scanner and it looks like hell, a big gray background. It happens on label masks too: contours, structures, etc. Wipeouts are okay, but those are not used much anymore. I am printing to an OCE TDS600 with current drivers, I have even tried older drivers. I also tried printing to DWF then to the printer and got the same result. Printing to DWF actually added little gray plus signs for the wipeout. The scanner is a OCE TDS600, and we plot with the grays & lines setting.
I have heard the dots are unavoidable, but I really don't want to believe that because it makes our plans look like crap.
I'm working on a set of similar drawings.
When I copied the first drawing into the second, these un-deletable white dots have appeared and will not go away.
I have tried changing to following options with no success: Blipmode, gridmode, freezing 0/defpoints layer, regen, purge.
I even tried deleting the 'copied drawing' and purging/regen but those dots are still there after that.
Other notes:
1. If I regen the dots move around in relationship to where my zoom is at.
2. The dots are NOT selectable at all.
3. The dots do NOT appear in the layout views.
4. They don't stop me from doing my work, they are just a nuisance that I want to fix.
5. Using Autocad 2011 (E.208.0.2 version 3), Win 7 Pro 64x (SP1)
This has to be some sort of bug in AutoCAD. I have tried doing a Google search and tried different methods of getting rid of these dots but nothing has worked.
If you see my attached image, I tried to highlight where the dots are in my drawing....
it seems anytime I have a problem with AutoCAD, it seem to be a problem that no one else has.
After I typed everything above I tried copying the contents of this drawing into a new drawing and the dots went away... but how to fix the broken drawing without making a new one..
I created a Multileader style in AutoCAD LT 2011 that duplicated our Architectural firms standards from previous versions. Pretty simple. The problem is, when utilized using AutoCAD LT 2012, AutoCAD LT 2013, AutoCAD 2012, or AutoCAD 2013, a small dot appears in the keynote bubble. (it also plots) Workarounds include checking “Automatically include landing” and/or changing “Content – Insertion point” to “Content – Center Extents”, in the “Modify Multileader Styles” dialogue. Both unacceptable per our office standards. Tough being 2 versions of AutoCAD behind office wide, because of such a minor bug but our keynoting has looked the same since 1992 and I really thought it would have been fixed since posting after the release of 2012.
Attached is a .dwg or you can follow these instructions. Start a new drawing, go in to “Annotate”, Click “Leaders”, hit “new”. Name it whatever you like, I’ve named mine “Test”. Under “Leader Structure”, uncheck “Automatically include landing”. Under “Content” change “Multileader type:” to “Block”, “Source block” to “Circle”(this setting can be set to anything), and “Attachment:” to “insertion point”. Hit “O.K.”, highlight your newly created Multileader style, hit “Set Current”, and close out. Test your new multileader style and notice the dot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere is a line (and two big dots) representing EVERY Assembly insert. And I've been trying to figure out how to hide them.
May be they were there because of some link/point code. But I was unable to find and thing.

I have a problem with plotting my layout. When I plot, the lines from the xref are small tiny points/dots instead of a continous line. All other lines are OK. What could be the problem?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently running AutoCAD 2013 LT on a Windows 7 64 bit system. I was recently running this same software on a 32 bit system computer and everything was running properly. After the upgrade, I have noticed a linetype issue that I cannot seem to get a handle on.
We use a "insul" linetype on building sections that should come out looking like an architectural insulation pattern. After upgrading to the new computer, this linetype only reads as dots, nothing else. I have gone to other comnputers in the office that are displaying this linetype properly and have copied their acadlt.lin as well as acadltiso.lin files over to my computer and it has not solved the problem.
