    Origin stuck on another viewport

    Hi Lisa, It's difficult to explain without being there, but I'll have a go. Bare with me if I explain something you already know. Viewports are like looking through holes in the paper you'll be plotting on (paperspace). When you look through a 'hole' you see what is in the model...

    Missing parts when inserting into assembly

    Are there any layers turned off?

    Custom Icons

    Hi Gary, Persevere a little more, DS can do all that AutoCAD can. It might seem a little more convoluted at first but once you get the hang of it it's fine. I'm at work with AutoCad at the mo so without DS in front of me I can't remember where to start. Adding new commands is in one part of...

    Layer States from AutoCAD to Draftsight

    That's a poor excuse really! Layer states is only a quick way of turning layers on and off. All it would mean is that someone would have to set them up again, no biggy really! Certainly not enough reason to save the thousands in the cost that is does!

    Error inserting reference image Drafsight

    Good find Jordy. I updated mine even though I didn't have that graphic problem, the drivers I had were quite old. (Good old Windows doing it for you... or not!)

    Error inserting reference image Drafsight

    That looks like something to do with the scale of it. I don't seem to be able to reproduce it.

    Error inserting reference image Drafsight

    Type HIDEVIEW and hit enter. Does that do anything?

    Error inserting reference image Drafsight

    Type 'image' hit enter, see if there are any clues in the References Palette.

    Error inserting reference image Drafsight

    I've not had this problem. I know Windows 10 is a little buggy though! Just scratching my head.... When you look at the properties of the referenced image, I take it that the 'show image' box says 'yes', and that the path to the file hasn't been changed by the windows install? I'll keep...

    Alias disappearing or not sticking - Another solution.

    Hi all, I found that not matter where you told DS to look for the Alias file, it looked here first C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\DraftSight\bin So, I just put a copy of the Alias file in that folder, then told DS to look there for it and hey presto Aliases are back! I reckon it must be a...

    Draftsight - Automatic Layer Control???

    Here's one macro.... ^C^C^P-layer;t;DIMTEXT;m;DIMTEXT;c;14;DIMTEXT;;$M=$(if,$(getvar,tilemode),,vplayer;t;DIMTEXT;;;);;^Pdimlinear^M We have a layer for text called DIMTEXT, just change that for what you call your layer. As far as I can remember, it works in DraftSight no probs. It creates...

    Seen that post you did, had it bookmarked! I have two extra buttons now to set the SETENTSELMODE to one or zero. I did have a go at changing these macros that toggle settings but couldn't crack it! Don't know enough about Diesel. ^P'orthomode...
