AutoCad 2D :: Toggle Between Ortho On / Off - Measure Command
Jan 28, 2013I have moved onto a new machine and there are 2 AC functions I need to change.
1. I used to be able to toggle between Ortho on/off by holding the SHIFT key, on this machine it doesn't activate. Is there a command for this? I know I could use F8 but my hand is over the SHIFT key when I draw so its easier to do it this way.
2. When I activate the MEASURE command AC automatically activates Dynamic Input which makes my cursor jumpy when I move it. How can I stop this from happening? To clarify, I don't want Dynamic Input on when I am in the measure command.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Random Commands Activating Whilst Within A Command
Oct 11, 2012Having only recently started using Autocad 2012 (I mainly used various versions of LT over the last 10+ years) I have noticed a few strange goings on.
It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes whilst in a command ("move" for example), when I go to click on an object or pull a window, a separate, totally random command activates itself. Why this happens, I just hit escape a couple of times & continue what I was doing.
I'm not sure if it is a case of me, in my haste, missing my intended object & hitting the right click button (which I use as a return & not a drop down menu).

Mar 12, 2014I've tried to nail down exactly when and why this happens but have yet to figure it out. Usually happens (but not all the time) when I'm using the path tool and hit command+z to reverse a node I've created, but then the cursor swtiches to the magnifying glass/zoom tool.

Feb 15, 2012This is something I should know as a long time CAD user. I have line of points, ~200 on the screen and I want to draw a polyline through them without selecting each point. I know there was a command to select the first point and the last and ACAD would draw the line between. I am using AutoCAD 2010.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Defining Points For Spline Command
Apr 4, 2012I am working on a little lisp routine to draw splines, but can't get it working. The basic idea is that i first select a set of points that i can feed to my spline command.
(defun c:test2 () (setq pt (getpoint "
define point:")) (setq ptlist nil) (while (not (equal pt nil)) (setq ptlist (cons pt ptlist)) (setq pt (getpoint "
define point:")) ) )
Now i need to draw a spline based on these points. My plan whas to simply use the acad command itself. But this option didn't work.
(command "spline" ptlist "")
Then i tried using the vla-addspline command. But i can't even get this one working .
AutoCAD 2013 :: Turning Bunch Of Points Into Solid Object - Loft Command
Mar 16, 2013I have a bunch of points that I am trying to turn into a solid object. I am doing this by using the 3D poly command and then LOFT, UNION and CONVTOSOLID. this has previously worked well, but this time when I use the LOFT command it does not produce a 'closed' surface, but rather a grid like surface which wont convert to a solid. Are there different settings for the LOFT command, and if so, How do I change them to produce a closed surface?

Mar 30, 2013My new HP laptop has functions assigned to the F function keys, and this disables the autocad functions for these keys.

How can I assign another key - say Q - to toggle ortho?

AutoCad 3D :: Can't Edit Solid Whilst Shaded
Jan 5, 2012When I select any visual style other than '2D Wireframe' in AutoCad 2011 for mac it stops me from being able to edit it at all, not even select any objects.
I trialed AutoCad 2012 and it allowed me to edit solids whilst they were shaded. Is this a feature difference, a bug, or something that I haven't set up right in 2011?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Locking User Into Using Ortho?
Dec 17, 2012Any way to permanently disable polar. Like if autocad were to automatically switch to ortho every 10 mins or something?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: POLAR And ORTHO Dynamic Displacement Display
Aug 22, 2013I would love for my 2011 and 2013 to work the same as my 2008 does.
In 2008, when I grab a grip and stretch it with either ortho or polar turned on, I get a little tooltip beside the crosshairs. All it says is the distance and the angle, and whether it is Ortho or Polar. For example, if I stretch to the left with ortho on, it may say
Ortho: 16.55 < 180°
Or if I stretch up and to the right with Polar on, it will say
Polar: 16.55 < 45°
I really, really really want this back! This is not dynamic input, I hate all that ridiculous clutter around my crosshairs. But this little info box is absolutely invaluable!
I have checked the Tooltip setting (on in all versions), And I've been playing with all the Dynamic Input settings, but I can't get it to work. The odd part is that 2011 was working until about a week ago. I'm not sure if 2013 was or not.
