In paper space you can change the background color to black to show layout. This is done in tools -options - Display tab - color.
Is there a way to change the default light gray color that extends beyond the layout perimeter? I would like to change if form the default light gray to a darker color. For example a dark gray?
Modeling 1:1 in MS, dimensioning in PS different scaled viewports. Plotted from PS, did further work both in MS/PS and notice dimension readings have scaled up by 99.98% and 100% to what they were in hard copy. Changed dims in properties but for some reason they have reverted back to the percentage increase? For example I have a 5745mm truss span that is now a 574.5 meter spanning truss!!?? Haven’t altered dimstyle at all or any scalings. Laid another dimension again in PS along side the exaggerated one using same endpoints in order to check things and it’s fine.
Would like to know what has caused the dims to scale up in PS and, how to undo the problem, hoping not to have to re-dimension.
Attached is the dwg. and yes, I have dimensioned in MS but there was a reason. It’s PS that’s causing the grief.
I want to start printing some of this stuff I've created, I used a sheet set I downloaded from somewhere but now that I'm further down the road I want to change the layout, title blocks and such. What's the best way you pros would handled this. I know there's times when a customer of yours walks in and says we want to change how the sheet looks, they have new logos, title block request and other things they want changed, they also want to change the sheet size, how would you handle these things, I'm really interested in how you would change the sheet size in the middle of a project.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a mac. I am trying to change the background color in paperspace from the eye straining white to a neutral grey. Everywhere I search I am told that the answer is in options>display and then change it to what ever you want. However, mac has preferences instead of options and no display tab. And in all the tabs i do have, there is no obvious alternative.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe color of the paper space outside of the page layout is a gray-white very bright that would not allow the white lines and white letters to be seen. I have looked at the Options dialog to see if that color can be changed, but I could not find the name of that area outside the per layout ( I have my paper layout to black, which is fine, but I do not know how to change the areas outside the paper). This bright color came with AutoCAD 2012.

I am just using wipeout for first time, made some door blocks with it to hide wall the door is planted onto.
I find that the wipeout works fine for the area within the wipeout, but does not work well at the wipeout's perimeter.
I have messed with draw order, frame on/off, line weight, and am not able to get wipeout to hide correctly at it's perimeter.
In print preview it looks fine. Printing pdf with Acrobat leaves a line. Printing to HP laser prints line that is supposed to be hidden.
You can see the pdf attached. Zoom in and you will see the line. The hatch and inner lines are all hidden just fine.
The architect has a schedule set up that will schedule his room numbers and names. He draws spaces for each room.
I want to add perimeter and area to this. I copied this room schedule in the tool pallete, renamed it with "trial", added columns for perimeter and area, BUT STILL GET ? FOR VALUES!
I've looked everywhere and it should work. When I look at "properties" of the space it shows area and perimeter, but I can't figure out how to extract the info.
I'm doing a parts manual and would like to have a heavier perimeter line weight around each of my parts or sub assemblies. I know I can manually change the line weights however some lines that make up part of the perimeter also run into my part or assembly so this doesn't really work. Is there a way to get inventor to do it automatically?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to quickly measure the perimeter of a part, and also measure the length of any circles?
Our estimator is taking the drawings supplied from the customers and needs to quickly know what the cut length is around the part, and then also know the cut length of all holes or internal openings.

I have a vertical stripe pattern and I have to put it on each glass drawing that I have (8 total). I've four countersunk holes on each unit so I need to trim the glass perimeter and larger hole from the stripe pattern (which is 1/4 inch solid hatch fill with 1/2 inch clear space). How can I make this faster?

I´m triyng to do a autolisp routine to calculate the perimeter of a drawing with several entities like arc, polyline, spline, lines and circles.
In the web i found out a autolisp routine that calculate this but it doesnt recognizes circles.
I need that the circles can be recognized, does some one knows how i can do that?
I am completely new to the forum and to Autocad. I am using version 2011.
I am working with irregular solids and after I SECTION them, I would like to export to a text file the data points that make up the perimeter of the sections.
Ideally, I would like to do it from the command line, but that's a secondary goal, first of all I would like to know how to do it.

create a routine to list all the dyanmic blocks in my drawing with a specific visibilty parameter name. The problem with the blocks that I'm trying to search for in my draiwng is that the visibility names are very similar with the only differences being CASE sensitivity (ie. OBJECT vs. Object).

I am using the Color Exchange feature in Gimp 2. I am trying to change a red background to black. The Color Exchange feature allows me to do that, however, it comes out with only part of the color changed and it all very blotchy.
Here is a screenshot of what happens after I select the red square and do a Color Exchange from red to black.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a block. All work inside the block is set to layer 0 and color properties are set to 'By Layer'.
When I try to give the block a custom color in model space, e.g. 251, the block remains the same color as the layer color. I have been able to change block colors in this way before.
Using autoCAD 2009, having problems with my line changing to a lighter color, when I draw a line going horizontal it would be the color of the layer I put it in, when I draw a vertical line, the lines turns lighter, for example using color 31, horizontal it's the color I assigned it when vertical it turns white, red does the same thing except for when vertical it is pinkish, how do I get it back to be the same horizontal or vertical?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of my colleagues was able to insert Spot Elevations by picking anywhere on the surface of his floor objects in his floor plan yesterday (2013 Central file with two users working). Today, when he tries to place the same Spot Elevation object, he is only able to pick the floors at the perimeter of the floor objects instead of the surface of the floor. what setting or mode they accidentally changed to prompt this unfortunate behavior?
