I started on AutoCAD about two weeks ago for my company. The drawings that I have done are in a viewport. There are objects outside of the viewport that I am supposed to copy and past into the viewport to use (transformers, anchors, other utility stuff). The problem with these is that they are in paperspace and I would like to copy them into modelspace. When I try to copy them into model space it says "Duplicate definition of block ****** ignored." able to copy and paste into drawing instead of doing insert command all the time and finding desired block. I am running autocad lt 2004 and do not have a chspace command.
Version of the CHSPACE.lsp command that has a "copy" option like the one from Intellicad?This version makes a copy of the selected objects first then moves them into the space you want, leaving the original objects alone in their original space.
I use CHSPACE a lot to bring dimensions over to paper space off of my 3d structural steel models when I am doing site layouts. Occasionally the dimensions flip over upside down? I am guessing this has something to do with the UCS orientation between model and paper space, is there a system variable of setting or something that will stop them flipping over?
AutoCad 2011. I am having no luck when trying to drag a command from the Command List pane to the Quick Access Toolbar. I have success draging to Tool Palettes
I am currently writing a series of routines for setting the layers for text, leaders and dimension commands. The end goal is a system where any annotation command sets the correct layer for the duration of the command, then reverts back to the layer that was active before the command.
I have managed to complete all the code, and it appears to be working fine, I just have one question: I have used -layer "m" "Lay_name" etc... for all layer setting commands, rather than any code to see if the layer exists already. In my limited testing this seems to be suitable, nothing that exists on that layer seems to be affected.
I know how to write code to determine if the layer exists already and set the layer instead, but so far it seems unnecessary??
After installing the VBA Module, I get the message "Unknown command "VBARUN"". I've rebooted, restarted and tried reinstalling the VBA Module to no avail.
I 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.
I need to save a drawing file and give it the name of my desire using a single command, I don't want to issue "saveas" and then specify the name in the file name prompt. This problem is has been faced when I was using ScriptPro and I couldn't succeeded to do that. Hence I need to know if it is feasible to do the stuff using a single command. It will be preferred if I can choose the location to save the file also rather than save the file to the default location.
without reiterating a lot of what is said in this thread: [URL] ......
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:
How can i use subtract area command in area command while using add command , often it happens we click on polyline whose area we did not want to consider. How can i do like this, i re click on that enclosed polyline and the area gets subtracted and the green fill goes away?
I've been attempting to use the GEOMAP command to bring satellite imagery into one of my maps. I have followed theses steps:
1. Signed into my Autodesk360 account. 2. Assigned a coordinate system (SC83F) to my map. 3. Entered the GEO MAP command and selected "A" for aerial image.
Following these steps, I am unable to display the aerial imagery.
Few years back our instructor in CAD teaches 'limits' since then i never use limits in all of my drawings. One thing i notice though is when i zoom extents my object seems so big and sometimes i can't use Pan command so what i did is to make a very long line just to make my object small..
* Does setting up limits a must before starting a job?
I am testing the LT 2012 version in Windows. I want to use the pan command which used to be a easily visible button, one click. In 2012 I have to go to View>Pan to acess the button, 2 clicks, If I type P I get a popup menu with every command starting with a P, with Pan at the top, click on Pan, 2 clicks again.
So, can I move the Pan button to the Home tab to make it simpler? Can I edit something so when I type P it knows I mean Pan and don't have to make another choice?
This is really slowing down my process and work flow, it's like stutter! Used to be a seamless flow of click, click, click. Now it is click, pause, search, click, pause, search, click.
I tried applying this flag to one of my commands for Autocad 2006. The documentation states that it forces users to enter the full namespace of the command in order to invoke it.
The problem is that even after defining the local, global, and group names I can't get the command to load. I've tried every possible namespace I could think of when entering the command into Autocad. The command works if I do not apply the flag, and typing GroupName.GlobalName into the command line also works - unless I add the Undefined flag.
[CommandMethod("group1", "cmd1", CommandFlags.Undefined)] _ Public Sub Test() End Sub
When I used earlier versions of Acad I used to be able to do a calculation within a command. Like if I wanted to offset something equally on each side of a mid-point I could start the offset command then for distance I could put in the distance I wanted/2 (ie if the total distance between the 2 lines needed to be 85.375 i I could do 87.357/2). Is there some setting that I am missing or is this something that has disappeared from Acad?
How to use the slice command. I'm really not that familiar with 3d. I've done a few but when it comes to roof, I always got stuck into that part. In fact I only heard about the command "Slice" here in Cad tutor. I'm practicing 3d with a house. I'm now on the roof part. And I wanna have this on solid. I made this only by 3dface.
When i go to use the rad or dia. command, and i click on an arc surface (in paper space) the rad dimension will jump to the nearest arc, not the arc that i need dimensioned.
My AutoCAD now cannot run appload command because the command program suddenly disappear from Support File Search Path AutoCAD.I don't now the file (appload command) are deleted or moved to another folder.
when I use the insert command by typing I, I used to get a dialogue box in order to locate the file I wanted to insert, but now I do not get the dialogue box, I get the box with the WBLOCK command when I type W. I have ATTDIA set to 1 and changed it several times to no avail.
