I have a computer where all text entered in AutoCAD text/mtext comes out in uppercase. Pressing the shift key while entering the text has no effect. The CAD-Girl involved has admitted to sniffing around in Express Tools System Variables and changing a few, but she cannot remember any more which ones she changed.
View 3 Repliesdo you use all caps or do you use upper case/lower case in your drawing title block, bom, and notes?

When I type text in PS CC, it is ALWAYS UPPER CASE. I cannot get mixed case. Fortunately I still have PS CS5 on my machine, so I was able to fix the problem there. What's going on? Windows 7 Home Premium.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am writing various text insertion lisp routines. I want the computer to default to UPPERCASE before the user enters any text to ensure the text is added to the drawing as UPPERCASE text at all times.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I type in my font, Photoshop CS3 will only show the upper case character, and when I attempt to type the text in lower case, it just types the upper case but smaller. I don't have any problems with any other fonts, and this font works fine in every other text program I am working with...
I have tried un-installing and re-installing the font multiple times.
I know I can use the shortcut Shift F3 to bring up the Change Case Menu.
Is there a way to just highlight the text and press a shortcut or macro to change directly to UpperCase?
I'm using annotative scales. But for example line type scale will also change when I change annotative scale. How can I turn that off.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got an intermitent problem with copyclip, pasteclip and Wblocks. The functions work in some files but not other it seems to be dependent on the size of the file, i have 7 xref's in the dwg. i can copyclip to the dwg, but not form dwg. is it due to the size of dwg or what? can it be fixed? OR is there a system variable to set?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my macbook pro to a new drive and 10.6, and chose 'case sensitive' HFSX, 'cause I'm a heavy command line user and wanted the maximum BASH experience.I'm trying to install the CS5 demo to try some web design tools, and the installer immediately says "Installation to case-sensitive drives is not supported. choose a different drive location to install." So case-sensitive drives aren't supported; crappy but fair enough.
The error message leads me to think that I can just choose a non-case-sensitive drive to install to, but I never get a chance to pick one - I click on the installer and it goes straight to the error message.So - how do I pick a different drive to install to? Am I just an idoit, is there no way to select a different drive, or will it not install on a system that even BOOTS from a c.s. drive, regardless of the format of the drive that CS5 is installed to?
Being new to 13LT I'm not sure if they have included a system variable that would allow the origin of a snap inside a command to automatically start at the first selection point. In the old days (ACAD2000) I was able to customize my keypad to function as a protractor with the 5 key being the @ symbol. We did that with an autolisp which rules that out.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to have a piece of text added to the drawing notes that uses a field (or similar), to list the coordinate system code assigned to the drawing, i.e. UTM83-12.
Any setvar or something that I can use?
There are load of different coordinate systems to choose from, and I don’t want to have to manually enter it for every drawing.
I am finding with certain types of fonts, mostly on architectural title sheets, that they get substituted to romans font.When I go to the Fontalt Setting Variable though and enter a period for no selection and then regen, all the 'missing" font regenerates and looks fine.
My question is why is the font not appearing properly in the first place? I must have the font if it is appearing properly.I don't want to have to reset the fontalt variable everytime I want to plot a drawing!
How do I change the lineweight system variable
Pressing the command button puts <Lineweight > in the command line.
The last problem I had to search for was to change lineweights
br.LineWeight = 0.35
should be:
br.LineWeight = LineWeight.LineWeight035
I just notice that in 2012 the EXPERT system variable set to 1 no longer suppresses the display of the "Objects moved to frozen or turned off layer" pop up.

It is returning nothing after assigning values for this variable.
We are using below statement for setting the value.
Application.SetSystemVariable("INSNAME ", "test");
string str1 = Application.GetSystemVariable("INSNAME").ToString();
str1 string value is "" (nothing). and value is not assigning to this variable.

Every time I open a drawing in AutoCAD 2011 it seems to lock all the xrefs associated with the drawing so when ever some one else tries to open one of the xrefs they can only do so read-only.
Is there a system variable or a setting some where I've accidentally changed?.. I can't seem to find a solution or what the problem even is anywhere.
Is it possible to create a database resident system variable? My desire is to create a system variable that I can use to expose results of my program, and/or let the user set values that the program can use.

I am having trouble getting my text height to change user the 'textsize' system variable.
When I input a new height at the command prompt using 'textsize' the text height in the text style dialogue box does not automatically change to match. Also when I use the dtext or mtext command after changing the textsize value, these commands use the value in the text style dialogue box instead.
I have a problem setting sysvar like SNAPBASE, which requires 2d point or 3d point. I always get wrong input for the following lines.
double[] point = new double[2] {5,5};
object value1 = point;
Application.SetSystemVariable("SNAPBASE", value1);
what value should I give a 2d point or 3d point?
According to the documentation the FRAME system variable overrides XCLIPFRAME, IMAGEFRAME, etc., has four valid values, 0, 1, 2, or 3, and its initial default value is 3. While editing a drawing, I set FRAME to 0, and then some time later, tried to set it back to 3. AutoCAD refused to accept this value, saying "Requires an integer between 0 and 2." Typing (SETVAR "FRAME" 3) at the command line also failed. The only way I could get it back to 3 was to use UNDO to go back to the default value. Is this a bug?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if there is a system variable i can change that allows me to slice objects and automatically separate them.

System variable to keep a stacked fraction with the leading number?
We open the same drawing on different computers at work and on one computer the number will be 21/2 but on the next computer that opens the same dwg the 1/2 will have been bumped down to the the following line. I don't know if this is a problem with the autostack properties, although I can't find anything about that, or if its a problem with the tabs.
I'm completely at a loss and its becoming a problem because if one person opens a project to plot it and it looks fine but the next person opens it and every mtext in the dwg is wrong it becomes very time consuming to fix.
I was attempting to troubleshoot some performance issues I've been having using process monitor. I noticed that AutoCAD 2013 is constantly checking for an XREFSTATE System variable, that according to documentation is stored in the registry. however, process monitor is reporting this variable as not found. So that leads me to a couple questions:
why is it constantly checking the status of the variable
why is the variable not located within the path it is looking for.

Existing polyline set to a width of 6. Want to fillet this to a non-polyline with a width of zero.
Currently the two lines will join to create a connected polyline but the original widths are maintained (6 and 0).
I am looking for the system variable where the non-polyline becomes joined and the global width for the new segment matches the first polyline.
