Hello All,
I am most impressed with the knowledge you have here in this forum as to the CADchat forum. No one can seem to understand my dilemma or want to help. (But then again, maybe they can't).
After having read some of the responses to posts here, (within 30 minutes of perusing, mind you) I feel I have finally found a forum that can help me.
So, without further adue, I am going to spill my speghetti bowl out here and hope you can help me.
1. Why do they have that stupid white box that surrounds the color when your selecting individual colors. It makes it hard to see where your cursor is at and what your picking. I want my regular cursor, any ideas on how to edit someth'n to get my cursor back
2. For some oddball reason, my Display resolutions under the Display tab, defaults to 100, 8, .5, 4 on the listings. I want the numbers to read 10000, 8, 1, 4 respectively. I change it, hit the apply button and alls well ... for that drawing. When I open a new drawing, it's back to the default 100, 8, .5, 4. Any Ideas
3. Why does the properties pallet default to a floating half inch by half inch size thumbnail that I have to constantly move to one side of the screen and adjust its' size in order to use it with every session of ACAD I open
Does anyone know how to make that pallet STAY at one side of the screen and STAY at the size I adjust it to each time I open CAD
I know, deal with it, get into the 21st century and use the tool bars. Tool bars are good, I can't argue that, but I'm a user, I use my PGP key commands and draft much faster than most (especially when they use the tool bars)
4. How can I sell the concept of ADT to three guys who have been in the office for a much longer period of time than I, who have a voice in what the office standards are and who are (oddly enough) against changing their own drafting habits to get off the board drafting concept and into the 21st century of ACAD and ADT
Ok, back to more frustrations;
5. I use the text Architxt in my dwgs. I have noticed that I can write an MTEXT note using several items such as the @ sign, degree sign, Centerline insignia, Diameter insignia, etc. When I explode this to a standard dtext or text lines, I have noticed that at each symbol and insignia, it starts a new text line. When I edit a line, I have three lines involved. (It goes back to the three voices that control the drafting room. They don't like mtext, they want dtext on all the details).
6. What happened to the PLJOIN command that was in the express tools. I found the supplement file in the 2004 express tools but it is not joining any plines. For now I am going the long way of Pedit, join and individually selecting connected lines. Waste of time, how can I get the pljoin command back
Sorry to dump all this at once, especially being a brand spank'n new cad chatter here and not really knowing anything that's go'in on.
Thank you though for all your help and I now have this place bookmarked !!!
