I am converting from a R14 and a digitizer to ACA2009 and a Mouse.I am not thrilled with the way the mouse interacts with the screen, accuracy, lag time? I am using a wireless optical mouse and keyboard.What is the preferred pointing device for AutoCAD?
Further more I am a slab and have no room on my desk for a mouse cord,What is the preferred wireless pointing device?
We're trying to use vtablet with ACAD 2012LT and a GTCO Rollup III 3648 on Com1, 32-bit Win7 (32-bit driver) and are having a bit of trouble with the configuration.The problem is that ACAD seems to only half-recognize it.
When we try to change the pointing device to "wintab compatible digitizer", the change won't "stick" - but I don't see an error message in the status line. The "apply" button simply continues to stay grayed out and clicking on "ok" doesn't make ACAD save the change. Thus since the pointing device remains a mouse, when we try to turn the tablet on, we get an error message that says "your pointing device cannot be used as a tablet".
However, we can move the tablet's stylus and it moves the cursor. We can also draw a line in ACAD but can't calibrate (since calibrate never becomes an option since we can't turn the tablet on inside ACAD).
Yes, UAC is off. Yes the digitizer does seem to be sending regular packets. Yes the digitizer shows up in device manager as a MS Serial Ballpoint (the mouse uses USB). They both move the cursor seemingly without conflict (there is no jerkiness).
I've recently installed a microsoft wireless mouse. I'm having issues because the middle wheel doesn't pan when pressed down. I've searched the discussion forums at the Autodesk (both Lt & full ACAD) site, and can see this has been discussed previously, but the accepted remedy of control panel/mouse settings and ensuring that the mouse wheel is set to "middle click" is listed (and selected), but doesn't have any effect. I have MBUTTONPAN set to 1. I'm not sure what else needs to be done to get the middle button to pan.

When I collect objects into, say, a drawing of a bicycle, I can do this with grouping or by creating a block (and I don't know what else). If one of the objects in the bicycle collection is itself a collection of objects--for example, a "front wheel" made up of tire, wheel frame, and spokes objects--what "grouping" method do I use such that when I explode the bicycle it only explodes the first level of objects--the objects that made up the bicycle become separate objects, but the objects that make up the front wheel stay collected as a "front wheel." (Or, is there a less deep form of explode?) Blocking the most detailed objects seems burdensome.

Have any of you got any comments as to whether I would find a wireless mouse easier to move around on Photoshop - are they as accurate etc ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedRecenlty I used the DBConnect Manager to link template data to a drawing object. Well I think I flubbed because I altered the view that the link template was accessing while AutoCAD was open. Now anytime I use the DBConnect command, whether through the toolbar or ctrl+6, it crashes AutoCAD. If I point the data link to a different database, I can use the DBConnect Manager with no problems. If I recreate the data link, pointing to the original database, it works once or twice and then crashes again.

For Example, when I click on the "open" icon, the "new" command is executed (see the attached jpg. It is showing what text bubble comes up when I hover over the open icon).
I just installed Photoshop Elements 12, and went into Organizer and tried to scan in some photos, and I get the message that it cannot detect my scanner. I have a Canon MX712 Scanner, setup wirelessly and have not problems scanning from other programs.

I looked in the label style>dragged state>leaders but I don't see anyway to tell the leaders where to point.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI put my photoshop actions on a seperate hardrive. Only funny thing is I created some new ones and I don't see them in this original location.
Unfortunately, I don't see while I'm in Photoshop any sort of "show in finder" so you can know exactly where your current action sets are pointing to, is there any definitive way to know? and I'm curious why I can't find an action that I see in PHotoshop, but not in the action set on the hardrive.

All my scanned 35mm images & digitals from my DSLR are cropped to my prefeered 3000x2000 with a res of 300 I can find it in the 'quick' section, but not in the 'expert' In the 'expert' section I found the clone tool I use a lot in E6, but its not in the 'quick' section To make this all happen I often need to correct the horizontal in my old 35mm images; i cannot find this either.

This would be very tedious to do manually. My next idea is to re-import them with MOVE option, but I would lose all the editing. Is there any way to re-import these while preserving the edit steps?
I'm using CorelDraw X5 to generate the eps file for my thesis, written in LaTex. When I draw a vertical arrow, an then export the draw in eps format, the arrowhead is pointing the wrong direction (left - right and not up-down), and this is always the case. If I open again the .cdr file, everything is correct.
I had the opportunity to try also CorelDraw X3, and the same behavior appears.
Have you ever experienced it? It is actually quite annoying because I have to fix all the eps images containing vertical arrows with ink scape, but it is time consuming.
I have currently made a nested family for a basketball system and have a problem when i flex my elevation. As you can see my bracing that the Red arrow is pointing to is not flexing properly.. However when I edit the family its in, I have it constrained and it flexes no problem.
View 5 Replies View Related I've never had to rebuild a PC for drafting until now. We are using a VERY old batch processing program called ScriptEase. However, on the rebbuilt PC, when processing a batch, AutoCAD will not prceed because it stops and says:
"Can not use None device for plotting"
How, in the plot settings, can the correct printer and paper sized be saved? I've looked all over and cannot get it to save. Under the options and Print and Plot Devices, it is there but when manually going to PLOT, it just says NONE and will not remember the default printer.
We are using AutoCAD LT 2007
Unable to plot with AutoCAD Map 3d. Problem just began. Reinstalled program. Installed SP-1. AutoCAD will not plot to ANY device. Previews just fine. Printer icon behaves as if plotting. Stays at that point until plot is cancelled.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am unable to install AutoCad LT 2013 on my Windows 7 x64 system. Everytime I try to install I get the error message:
"The system cannot open the device or file specified.

I can go to that folder and that file is there. However, if I try to run that file it then gives me errors about other missing files, that are not in that folder.
I have tried this with Multiple Logins, including the Adminstrator. I have also, completely wiped out the system and reinstalled Windows 7 from scratch.
I have set the UAC to the lowest level.I have also tried another DVD, and tried copying the files to the machine. No matter what I try I get this same message.One other thing, this is the 2013 Upgrade.
my app permits to the users select multiple DWG files, inserting them into a MSHFLEXGRID.
After this the user can select a DWT file and store in a matrix (PC) all its AcadPlotConfigurations.
The user can select distinct Page Layout for each DWG file selected.
Then running the code below, each file is opened in ACAD and then printed using the specific Page Layout.
This was running very good in ACAD 2002. After migrate to ACAD 2005 only the first file is printed. The others DWG files return FALSE to the PlotToDevice command.
Is it missing some command ?Does ACAD 2005 need anything extra to run ?
Obs: the DWT Page Layouts were created for MODELs and the files to be printed are using only the model space too.
