Photoshop :: Where To Set Drawing Mode In Preferences
Oct 5, 2013
I read Chris' response to the issue of the screen going dark when using tools. He said to set the drawing mode to basic in preferences. I can't find an option anywhere in preferences to do this. Where do I go to accomplish this?
I've already created the file. Can'f find anything under FileDoc Set-up. Nothing in the Print dialog box affects the change >when I'm working on the file.<
Where do I look to change it? Somehow this would seem to be very obvious, but it's hiding somewhere.
When i use panning in 2D mode the drawing disappears from my viewport. Autocad and all tools are still visible but there is nothing in drawing screen. When i zoom extent(z+e) it comes back again but in a couple minutes it disappears again while i am panning.
Starting a drawing which now needs a revision. Can't for the life of me find a revision cloud tool to mark up a change. This is the feature in SW [URL].......
Somewhere along the lines I must have clicked something to lock my views in drawing mode once I place them because after placement I cannot click and drag them around anymore...
I'm dreaming of a Macro to automate the following process that we use every day. We use it to highlight connectors so people can build our product easier.
We manually do the following:
In a drawing view we select a whole set of components (the connectors). Afterwards we change the color to green (using properties) & press hidden lines. This way you can clearly see where you need to place the connectors.
-> see .pdf attached with some pictures making it all clear
I'm being busy to create the code for this but I'm stuck over adding occurrences to a selection set so I can then apply the hidden line command
This is my code so far:
Sub AutoColor()'Step 1 Select a drawing view ' Get the active drawing document. Dim drawDoc As DrawingDocument Set drawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument ' Have the user select a drawing view. Dim drawView As DrawingView Set drawView = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(kDrawingViewFilter, "Select a drawing view.") Dim docDesc As DocumentDescriptor Set docDesc = drawView.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor ' Verify that the selected drawing view is of an assembly.
[code]....
Step 1 works
Step 3 works
Step 4 & 5 are for a later moment
Step 2 calls the sub "SelectOCC". this sub cycles true the occurrences, I can filter them on file location so I only get the components needed (the connectors). In theory it should be possible to add the given occurrences to the selection set so I can run Step 3 afterwards on it.
But I don't succeed in doing this, I've tried countless of methods but without success.
Where is the setting to enable Single Drawing Compatibility Mode in 2013? It used to be under the system tab in the options and is not there in 2013. Is this option still available?
I want to open multiple drawings in the same AutoCAD window by double clicking a dwg file like I have always done. Is this still possible in 2013?
I am using inventor 2013. I am doing some standardization process to make design drawing.How can i create library for "Symbols" so i can use it in any drawing?
Thing is, I am creating a symbol in drawing and using it many times in one sheet.Now when i prepare a next drawing, i can not use the same symbol.so what i have to do is i have to create a symbol everytime for each drawing.I am not able to maintain consistency.
Watching the movie in Digital Tutors: Understanding Perspective Drawing in Illustrator - Movie 6: 7:20
In this movie, and in Adobe instructions, it says that to change a planes position onto a particluar point of an object from its default position of 0 one needs to place cursor over the point that you wish the plane to come to and hold shift down. When I do this, the plane I want to move to that point disappears. When I make it reappear, it is in its original position of 0.
In Inventor Drawing Mode how to select the models in Browser tree using VBA, I think using selectset is not possible in my knowledge. Is there any other way to execute the selection .
I was giving a hand drawn wiring diagram (original.jpg) and it is a rats nest!!
I was asked to re-draw this and put it on our drawing template.
I have the plugs and terminal blocks drawn up and now I am about to attempt to add in the wires, but the sketch is so filled with dimension lines and values, it is going to be a task to try and make sure every line I draw is correct. This would be much easier to do if the dimensions could be turned off as the wires I am drawing will not be constrained.
I don't think there is layers options inside a sketch mode, or a if i start a new sketch I don't think I can project that sketch to the new one?
The only other options I can think of was to delete all dimensions and apply FIX constraint to everything! or
I guess I could have modeled the plugs and blocks in position and added them to the drawing, projected the geometry to a new sketch and added in my wires??
this in an issue ive noticed for a long time now across a few versions of ACAD, not sure whats causing it. When i try to draw an XLINE sometimes the command will get locked into either horizontal or vertical mode, without me choosing that option. seems to based on the OSNAP pickpoint i grab maybe.
attached are pics of the process.
i run XLINE, pick endpoint and bam, its locked into horizontal mode, very annoying if im trying to make a vertical and horizontal line based off the same point.
Is there an option in drawing mode to exclude certain parts from a section view.
According to ASME Y14.3 parts such as shafts, keys bolts and nuts should be excluded in sectional view. Its not just removing the Hatching, the part has to show completely.
The closest I found in Inventor is that you can exclude Standard parts from being sectioned. Some of my parts are not in the standard library.
I would like to have the option to choose which parts I want to section and which ones I don't.
In the Printer Settings drop down menu both Color Mode and Print Mode are grayed-out. This just happened I cannot think of anything I've done differently.
I'm using OS 10.6.8 and the latest Epson drivers for the 3880. I have re-installed both PS and the Epson drivers. If I print from Acrobat Reader everything seems to work fine, this only is happening in Photoshop CS5.
I’m not sure about the current “annotation scale” in case of lay out mode.
Annotation scale option is displayed only in the model and viewport mode but not in the lay out mode (attached)!
Based on what annotative objects living on the lay out but neither in the model (or viewport) are re-sized? At this mode, there is no option to choose the annotation scale?
On other words, how to choose the annotation scale in the lay out mode?
I am running photoshop CS on my laptop which is a Compaq presario 1503 AP.
I have had this problem since I used Photoshop 7 and now Photoshop CS. When I want to go to a new paragraph or the next line using the enter key, it just doesnt work.
When I hit enter, the text just exits the text entry/edit mode.
When using the brush tool what is the difference between using the brush in color mode on a normal layer vs using the brush in normal mode on a color mode layer?
When saving a .PNG file in Photoshop CS5 the only option that appears is Interlace (None / Interlaced). Is there any other preferences that could be set (e.g. the compression level)?
I have deleted CS2 and installed CS4.How can I use my preferences from CS2? I hate the thought of trying to reconstruct my actions, function keys, menu colors, etc.
I'm running PS5 on Mac OS Mountain Lion. I'm having to reset the preferences file a lot at the moment, as some of the presets are going missing from the drop down box.
This is happening in the Levels adjustment dialog box. So, when I reset the preferences file the drop down presets that come with PS5 then reappear. Does the preferences file keep getting corrupted? If so, why?
I've set the interface to the middle grey colour. Yet recently, PS opens to the dark grey interface. Some other strangeness like Open Recent list has been cleared. I'm on Windows7.
I am preparing to install a new hard drive in my computer and I don't want to lose all of my preferences. How can I save these to reload after the install? I am using Adobe CS4 Extended v. 11.0.2 on a WIN XP Pro sp3 machine.
Also, will my preferences carry over to Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium?
P.S. My current hard drive has suffered two crashes already so I'm hoping to get the hard drive switched over as soon as it arrives (next day or 2).
Each time I open Photoshop, I load an image and use my scroll wheel to zoom and I have to go back and re-do my preferences. No preferences are ever saved.
