AutoCad :: Properties Boxes Won't Work?
Mar 23, 2011
im running AutoCAD 2010 as part of a Inventor Package and everything was working fine until i installed the Inventor 2011 ......(it was to try to sort something else out as the new features were introduced in 2011, but because of work policy were stuck using 2010......isn't work grand)
Ive uninstalled 2011 without anything going wrong with Inventor 2010 but its AutoCAD 2010 im having trouble with
If i create anything (could be a line or dimension) and then open the properties window or quick properties what used to be there isn't.....
- in the quick properties it says it cant define anything
- in the main properties window, instead of being able to alter the scale of the line / text & adjust lengths etc, the fields have been replaced, at the bottom of the fields are UCS co-ordinates initially i thought it was because installing 2011 has corrupted the files or done something weird and wonderful to them so ive tried:
-Repairing
-Reinstalling - Without Uninstalling the original AutoCAD 2010
-Reinstalling - With Unistalling the original AutoCAD 2010
Im running a XP 64bit machine with the latest service pack
Ill get a screenshot to add tomorrow to make it clear what im on about.

Is there a way to have check boxes in the Project Properties to be able to turn on and off txt / stamps / etc. for all sheets in a project? I am looking for something that is similarly down in Revit Title Blocks?

i change my screensetting from single laptop screen to extended screen (laptop+19") and back again on dayly basis.
the problem (which ONLY occours whit adobe products is
that when changeing my screen to laptop only the property boxes used fx; on layer/layer style/"blending options" appear (well they don't) outside the main window even though i placed them im my main window before changeing the screen setting.(from extended to normal).
most windows can be moved the the arrows or move function in the bottom bar, but how can i MOVE the pop-up property window and place it in the main (well, only) window ?
looking for a keyboard comb. to move the active window og a function
to place ALL windows i the main window...
i'm using PS 6.0
the "reset workspace" works fine on everything BUT the "Layer/layer style" -property boxes, and the whole prob. is that i only have 1 screen here at home.

I've just loaded Corel Website Creator to a second pc -- a dell laptop. In page view, the Properties boxes are dithered -- see the screen cap below:

I don't see this anywhere else in the program or any other programs. All other screens in Corel WSC look find. Can't find any 'options' setup that seem to control this.

Can add selection boxes or pick boxes to a block?
Here's the situation. I have a block that will be inserted showing a piece of angle iron that is used for a stiffener. We have various sizes that will need to be used. Instead of typing in the angle size each time it's inserted can I have a list of all the angle sizes and then a pick box or radial dial or something to be selected and that is what is put in the block?

All of a sudden, though I've change nothing, my line properties are messed up, here are some of the issues
1) My line type no longer works (via layers or directly)
2) My text section within line properties no longer shows up in order to access 'text overide'
3) I can no longer change the line color.

When I select any object, my quick properties tab is blank and my properties tab doesn't register anything. Also, I get an error message when I go into my CUI to try to modify the quick properties tab. Pretty frustrating. I've attached a couple of images for reference. I've repaired, re-installed and unistalled and re-installed and still have the same probelm.

Somehow the Properties Palette has gotten less wide- such that I can't read teh actual properties. Previously I was able to make it wider just by hovering over it, clicking on an arrow and dragging it wider. Not now.

It's not just the layer that isn't being displayed in the Properties Palette. My 2014 Properties Palette isn't contextual--displays only the general info--none of the object specific information.

A user showed me today that she cannot see any properties for a wall, door, or other AEC object in the Properties palette.
Some options like height, width, etc. are shown, but not layer, style, etc. from the General portion of the Basic tab.
Is this going to be a reinstall scenario or is there a fix for this?

I recently upgraded from LT2013 to LT2014. I never had any issues with 2013, but now seem to be battling with 2014. My OS is Windows 7 Home edition.
When selecting an object and then clicking the properties menu, the properties of the selected object are not displayed, but instead the properties of the selected layer are shown.
In the attached screenshot:
1) My active layer is "AM_VIEWS".
2) The layer of the object that is selected is "MEDIUM".
3) The properties dialog box shows the properties of my active layer and not the selected object.
I am therefore unable to override any settings of the selected object and manually change settings e.g. Linetype, Linetype scale etc.

I recently had to reinstall my AutoCAD LT 2008 and now when I open the properties palette to make adjustments to dimensions and fine tune, many peramiters that used to be visible are no longer there and accessible. I used to be able to adjust the dimscale as needed in the properties window, but can't now. How do I get it back?

I want to set up my drawings so that the title block displays properties from the model. I want to set this up so there will be drawing properties to extract into Vault. So I want to know what other Inventor and Vault users are doing to get model properties into Inventor drawings: Using model properties in the title block and nothing to extract in Vault or Copy model properties so Vault has data to extract.
I want to know what the best in class practice is? What are others doing? I do not want to use iLogic I was out of the box Inventor functionality.

For the last couple weeks I've been unable to view object properties or quick properties. If I right click on an object and select quick properties, a blank window comes up:
Similarly, if I bring up a properties window and select an object, the selection field remains blank and the object property fields are not populated with information relating to the selected object:

I finally got some Lisp scripts working. They generate a block library from a CSV file. The script reads the file, and generates a simple rectangular block based on dimensions on the line. I have another script that can read a csv of block names and values, and add these as attributes to the block.
The attributes added are simple, like "weight" and "max stack qty". I would like to be able to see these values in the properties tab or in quick properties. In my CUI I have "Display Custom Attributes" checked under "block reference".
However, when I select a block, no attributes show up. I can get it to show me things like "name" and all of the scaling values, just no attributes.

Let me start by saying I am not an AutoCAD wiz by any means. I have AutoCAD LT 2013 at my work and for the last year I have used it with no issues same as I have for the last 10 with previous versions.
This morning I came in and I cannot pan with my scroll wheel or double click the scroll wheel to zoom to extents. I have tried checking the settings for the wheel for pan and zoom and they are both at "1"
Whats even more frustrating is now all of a sudden I cannot enter dimensions for rectangles and other items with the small boxes that usually show up next to my item on the workspace (20" - "tab" - 12" - enter to get a 20x12 rectangle for example).
I have gone through every option section; I have tried rebooting my computer; I have looked at the settings for the mouse and nothing seems to do anything.

I keep running into a situation where I would like to be able to create an edge or a work axis at the intersection of a work plane and the surface of the part. I figured out a work around if the surface is flat, but I haven't figured out a work around for a curved surface.
How do I create work axis where work plane intersects curved surface?
Or put another way: How do I project intersection of work plane and curved surface onto the work plane in a 2D sketch?
I need to be able to draw a 2D sketch on the work plane, but get a perfectly matching projected line onto the work plane, from the curved surface, at the intersection of the curved surface and the work plane.
The attached jpg shows the intersection in question. I circled it.

In AutoCAD LT 2013, everytime I do something, little gray boxes explaining what I just did stack up on top of the "Type a command" box. Since you can't see thru, or work thru those little gray stack boxes I find myself constantly panning my drawing back and forth to work around them. It would sure make my drawing more efficient and less frustrating if I could turn off those little gray stack boxes. I've clicked around to try to find out if this can be done, but not knowing what they are called is making the quest a bit difficult.

We have two lines which are crossing. Now I want to find bounding box as shown on the picture.
Do we have some special methods (in AC) or I must find bounding points manually?

On one of my drawings which was created by someone else, the viewports don't have boxes around them. When you click on them in paperspace, it bring you into model space, and when you click on detail it opens up, but cannot expand viewport., you can't delete it. I want to expand it to bring in detail which is bigger now.

How can I switch this new feature off?
I'm selecting a block by mistake by clicking on an area which overlaps the bounding box outline.

We are running autocad MEP 2014. A co-workers machine that I'm trying to fix has these little boxes showing up next to the grips whenever he draws rectangles. They say "parallel" and "perpendicular"....How do we toggle these things off so they don't show up anymore?

This is probably a really stupid question, but several of my settings dialog boxes aren't showing up. I right click on the buttons at the bottom (at the moment snap and grid show this problem), click on the settings selection so I can modify them, then the autocad window looses windows focus (the bar at the top goes to the pale blue), and I can't do anything in autocad. I hit escape and it goes back to normal.
That looks to me like it is opening the settings window, and my focuse is being set to it, but I don't see it. How do I fix this? Can I reset dialog box starting locations (not like I know how it got moved to a crazy place in the first place, but still)?
How can I get my settings dialog boxes back?

What are they for and how do i get rid of them? Whenever I use the rectangle tool and place the rectangle I immediately get like 5 or so of these little gray boxes popping up. Within the boxes are two lines, one blue and one red. The lines are either parallel or perpendicular to eachother. I have to click an 'x' to remove them. This adds a lot of extra time and hassle to the process of making simple designs.how to disable them.

When I pick 'User defined' under Pattern, I lose the Angle and Spacing boxes. If I insert a hatch with the default settings of 0 degrees and 1 unit, then double-click on the hatch to bring up the Hatch Creation panel, the boxes are displayed and I can set them to the values I want. This first happened in 2012LT and continues in 2013LT - how to prevent the boxes disappearing?

All of my block updates work just fine when I use them in MEP 12, but we have a couple of drafters working in vanilla AutoCAD & for some reason the same commands/ blocks/ settings (same exact file even) that work in MEP do not work in regular ACAD.
Now they do "work" - the commands/ block insertion - but the annotative adjustment (i.e. 1/4" to 1/8" to etc) do not work until I select the block and add the desired scale to its annotative object scale list - why is this necessary? it isn't in MEP? The blocks work/ act properly annotatively once inserted and adjusted as mentioned above, but again, why? Why? Why is this necessary? All of the scale are in the block file as it resides in my block folder...?
