I use Autocad 2011 to read and modify drawings supplied by my client for the design and installation of ducting. I was going along nicely although slowly due to my transition from Visual cad. These are two completely different program and Autocad seems incredibly complicated until you start to learn a few commands and figure out how to navigate around the program.
Anyway, I have had about 20 hours with the program and am on the bottom of the learning curve when for some reason, the method of working suddenly changed, I am not aware of making the changes and cannot see how to change back.
First off, if I drew a few lines and then wanted to delete them, I simply selected each line and pressed delete. This was the same for most commands, I would select the items and then click the command.
Now, I have to click the command, then select the items and press enter. The main problem with this is that to delete anything, I now have to select "cut" or "erase", select all of the items and then press enter.
What I want to do is select the items and press delete but the delete key no longer works. how to get back to using my delete key.
i don't know what i did but i some how deleted the portable view navigate properties that contain the orbit, pan realtime, extent.ect tools. It's usually located on the far right of the screen on the drawing under the North, east, south, west cube.
I've been working in Photoshop for about 8 years now. Most of my time using the program was on a PC at my old office. At home and at my new office though, we're Mac based. The only feature I miss about the PC version of PS is the functionality of the tab key. On a PC, you can use the tab key to navigate through any field in a dialogue box (i.e. in the Image Size dialogue, hitting the tab key will scroll through the fields moving from left to right, and then down to the next line continuing the left to right movement). On the Mac however, it only allows certain fields to be accessed using the tab key.
I have searched, The only answer I've come across is in the keyboard settings of the Mac, and it's an option to allow the tab key move the focus between all fields/controls. I have tried this option and while it works with every other program on my Mac, it does not change anything in Photoshop.
This may seem like a minor gripe, but when going through repetitive actions in PS and using my keyboard to navigate almost everything else, it puts a pretty big kink into my workflow to not be able to do this.
are there shortcuts to navigate (up and down) between levels? I've a Italian layout keyboard.Second, pressing spacebar the PAN function (hand). Can I also edit the shortkeys in order to temporarily activate "rotate canvas", that is not having selecting again the tool I'm using after rotating the canvas using the "R" key.
I remember using a shortcut to navigate around while zoomed in. It works this way: while zoomed in a document i press a shortcut key, PS zooms out and gives me the overview of the document, then while keeping the shortcut pressed i hover the area where i want to go next and release the shortcut keys, then PS zoomes the area i selected.
-how to rotate the viewport not thru the cube.only viewports not objects.
-how to pan .I used to pan with middle mouse button(pressing lt also) and dragging down while pressed on one point .
Also a new type of tool is coming when I pan. i.e. two arrows one big and one small(one on top and other at bottom resp.).with a plus or minus sign at the middle.
I have been learning smoke 2012 (mac osx) for some days. I am FCP user, know Photoshop, Aftereffects, premiere pro etc etc..... However i have some small and big hurdles to work away smoothly with SMOKE.
1) Are MASKS available in CC (or color warper) ? ( to relight shot)
2) How to navigate between existing keyframes? (any shortcuts)
3) How to change a part of a clip.....eg. I want to replace a sky from one clip to sky of another clip...how do i go about it? (HLS key or masks etc..i have no clue)
4) In my last export (with lot of blur and motion graphics)..i was only able to export it as DPX and not as .mov file? (.mov was showing error) . Also....I always see some artifacts with my export...why does that happen?
5) Are there any SCOPES in Color corrector....for broadcast safety purpose ? (VECTOR,PARADE etc)
6) Is there any way in smoke .where i can finish and grade my SD clips so they look like HD standard. I mean even some of HD clips look substandard or lacking that vibrant,sleek look..... am i missing something while finishing them. I am not talking about increasing gain/gamma etc to make them look brighter and breach broadcast limits.Am i suppose add a light to the clip so that they look vibrant or any other trick to keep in mind, so clip look the way they should.
After installing PS cc I built up my own swatches, saved them and see that they were listed in the Swatch menu - seperated in the menu from the standard swatches with some seperator lines.
Yesterday I wanted to save a swatch for a friend, and changed the save folder to the desktop.Today i wanted to make an update to my own "super"-swatches, but when I try to save it defaults to the desktop again.
Now, after fiddling about for a while, I've found out this:
• My "super"-swatch is saved here: /Users/[myname]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC/Presets/Color Swatches/...
• The swatches placed here becomes seperated from the standard swatches by seperator lines above and below (which is nice).
• I've ruined the save folder default position, as I can't navigate to the hidden Library folder
This means that I can't update my "Super"-swatch and I can't save any new swatches that will be seperated from the standard ones.
how to navigate the "save to"-position into the Library folder again - or just reset the save folder default position?
I cannot use my mouse scroll to navigate up and down the numerous folders I have in my library. I can grab the page bar and move up and down (and while I'm hovering over the page bar, I can scroll up and down with the mouse wheel) - but only when I'm actually over the folders, the mouse wheel doesn't work!
It works fine when I'm in develop mode and I can scroll through all the presets and history.
But when I'm in library mode, the mouse scroll doesn't move my folders up and down ?
I have a Time Machine backup of my MacBook Pro before I installed 2013 and lost 2012. If a Time Machine backup actually saves the / directories? If so, how can I navigate to /usr/discreet in the TM backup using the finder window? The only way I know how to get to those directories is using a Terminal shell window. There are one or two projects I'd like to recover, if I could.
When in Library I have noticed a glitch. When using the right & left arrow keys to navigate the images, sometimes the keys do not work and I receive an error tone. To rectify the error I have to go out of Library and then back in again. The same sometimes happens when I am in the develop module.
I cannot share photos from my Elements 8.0 Organizer via email. The program does not recognize that I have an email program loaded. The computer is a new HP desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 operating system. My Elements 8 does everything I need except for the photo sharing so I don't really want to purchase a new version.
The purchasing group in my company need to batch plot autocad dwg files to pdf files to send to vendors. They do not have AutoCAD on their computers. I have done searches on the internet for programs, but I am leary of donwloading them. If I use the AtoCAD API in a program can I make it so they don't need AutoCAD to plot?
I have AutoCAD 2012 LT, and I have noticed something a bit strange. If I double click (or accidentally click twice) on the main menu (the "A" in the upper left corner), AutoCAD quits. It doesn't actually crash; if I have unsaved edits it asks me if I want to save them, and if I hit "cancel", the program keeps running, but it is a bit of an annoyance. Is this a bug or a feature?
I can not open CAD LT 2007 at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Still will not open. When I try to open existing files. I get an error message stating that the file can not be found or the file name is misspelled. I have run this very program for many years with out any problems. Now I can not acsess if in any way.
I am looking for a program that detects cheating with auto-cad? Ex. Copying one persons drawing and calling it their own. I know Universities and other technical schools have such a program.
I´m having problem with creating stl file from surface. I need to import stl in another program for rockfalls. I have create surface, extrude faces and union them.. an save like stl file.
But in another program my surface is not smooth, like something went wrong while exporting stl, because in autocad civil 3D 2012 everything look good.
I am using AutoCAD 2010 and when I open and run a drawing for a while the AutoCAD program hangs and won't respond. I have to close the program and then reopen AutoCAD. How come AutoCAD keeps doing this
I was created model of industrial robot with assembly and I need to create program in VBA, which can be used to steering robot arms in model for example used keyboard. Program have to include assembly too. I don't know what I should start do this.
I'm trying to switch documents and add some text. But the program switches to the document then freezes without executing any lines after switching documents.
If flyToHandle <> "" Then Dim docIsopen As Boolean = False For Each doc As Document In DocumentManager If doc.Name = flyToDwgName Then docIsopen = True acdoc = doc DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument = acdoc End If Next If docIsopen = False Then acdoc = Autodesk. Auto CAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.Open(flyToDwgName, False) [code]....
I have AutoCad2013 installed on my system, I am running Windows 8.1, my system updated automatically. After updating none of my Autodesk software will launch. When I try Inventor I get a capatibility error and I follow the link and get the SP1 file but it says it also no capatible. When I try and launch Autocad 2013 I get an error thas says" acad.exe This app has failed to start because its side by side configuration is in correct" I als have Revit 2013 on my system and an error comes up saying "This app was unable to start correctly (Oxc0150002)"
How do you pause the program to run a command line. Ex. MyDrawing.SendStringToExecute("command", True, False, False). I want to regen the drawing after the command. I am using Autocad 2011.
This issue has been an irritant for a few days and today is almost constant. When I do a quicksave the program hangs up and I get a Program Not Responding message. The panels all go white and the desktop is ghosted like there is a film across the screen and I have to wait 2-3 or more minutes for things to resolve.
