I have minimized a couple of files at the bottom of my Autocad screen. Now there is thick transparent on top of them and when i go to open then it becomes a solid white line through which i cannot click.
View 6 RepliesI'm using CS3 on Windows. When I minimize a file it automatically goes to the bottom of the screen. How do I get a minimized file to stay where I place it on the screen so that everytime I close the file it will go to the designated place I put it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI work with several files at a time and it can become annoying when you open several files and a minimized file keeps opening after each one. I don't want to have it open in the background, I just want it to stay minimized until I'm ready to work with it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to get rid of the unreferenced image files from a drawing from the command line. I have thousands of dwgs to batch edit using a script and Script Pro and need to automate the "right click and detach" on the command line.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI press CTRL+9 to make the Command Line disappear while drawing. When I plot (or when doing a plot preview) , the Command Line appears again by itself. So I always have to turn the Command Line off manually after each plot
The bug still happens;
- if Dynamic Input is turned off or on
- if I plot to a real device or in PDF
- if the Cammand Line Palette i docked or floating.
This is not an issue in AutoCAD 2012 so I guess it has to do with the new way they programmed the revamped Command Line palette in 2013.

This happen outside the potential malware infection?
if you care to not click-through, the problem is that certain commands (not all of them) simply do not disply in the command line. so the MOVE command for example looks like this:
NORMAL:
Command: _move
Select objects:
NOW:
Command:
Select objects:
same with QSAVE and who knows how many others.
line command is a multiple command. there is a way to execute it like a single command?

Basically I got a process which is quite long , let's say 30 seconds.
I want put a counter at command line showing to
user how many objects has been processed so far. But I don't want to use New Line Feed to change the line and keep each new number at same line and same location of command line.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running some background automation on AutoCAD (2012 if it matters) and I am running into an annoying issue where even when AutoCAD's visibility is set to false and it's window state is minimized it still grabs focus when a drawing opens.
Me.autoCadApplication.WindowState = AcWindowState.acMinMe.autoCadApplication.Visible = False
It makes my computer unusable when the automation runs.
I have this problem with EG covering over the cut area.
The feature line is partially under the surface making a cut.
It should be a hole where EG and the slopes meet as the image shows!
When I make an infill for the fill area it makes the the bottom of the cut area but the surface stays as a top!
It is very clear in Object viewer!
I'm picking this catagory as I think it is something that has been done before with mapping flat images to a 3D sphere (globe).
The application: Mapping a pattern design onto a sphere - in this case a marble. The pattern design is in pdf format and has been manipulated so that the image fits a certain sized sphere (2") around the circumference. I'm hoping to take this 2D image and wrap around the middle of the marble in full image length and have the image diminish as it rises to the top and bottom of the marble for fitting the surface.
I have lightly researched bring in a pdf format file into AutoCad and see that it can be done. Now I need to address the technique of wrapping it around a 3D sphere.
I've been searching for a command that could actually cut lines for purpose. For example, if I'm drawing a 2 line crossed, wish I could cut the 2 lines so they are now 4 segments. On a circle, I could actually draw a line that pass trough the circle on cut it off the way I wish. Does such command exists for autoCAD? Very often, I've many lines at the same time that I wish I could cut with a single one. The problem is that I don't wish to trim 'em and extend (losing time and long process). Sure there is also the div cmd, but this isn't what I'm seeking for.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI had a problem this morning where for some reason I needed to do a drawing recovery on a map - which is fine, all seems well.
The problem is that now when I type a command, it doesn't appear next to the cursor anymore. It's not really a NEED having it there, but I've gotten to like that in the newer CAD versions, and now I can't find the setting that makes it come back. Sure I CAN type everything and have it show just at the bottom of the screen, but I'd rather have my dynamic field back.
How I can restore it?
This is the problem I have. When I type something, ie a line length or a command, ie purge, whatever it is I type it is not shown in the command line... what am I doing wrong or what setting do I need to change..

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem and as this has happened the first time I fire up autoCAD I can see that I am not going to have as easy a time as I did with 3D studio Max.
I found a tutorial on line, and it was talking about the command line, so i was entering points like it said, fine. I had to put it down as something came up at work. Go back to it to play some more, now I can no longer specify points in the command line, pressing space or enter just clears everything and asks to specify a point again.
What have I don't to make this happen, or is it a bug in the program. I have tried restarting again but still no.
I can't see that I changed any setting (never do) or did anything to make it so the instruction line under the Command: window at the bottom of the screen now expects me to enter text, i.e. In the Command Window we have "open", after I clicked on File / Open, but instead of being taken to the usual drop down of my hard drive the bottom line on my monitor reads, "Enter name of drawing to open <.>: The same thing happens if I try to save a drawing. This is making it extremely difficult to open and save, i.e. to work....

Is there a way to activate the command line transparently? If you are in a command, Ctrl+9 cancels it.
