    spline help

    I am trying to create a spline tangent to two curves and passing through 3 points.

    Drawing Scale of Sheet tab

    OK, I'll check it out. I know you can specify the sheet size when you export a PDF but this didn't change the paper size in the sheet view.

    text along a curve

    I'm just getting started with DS. I'll look through the help files again on creating text. Adding a note was simple enough but I didn't see anything about having the note follow a curve.

    spline control

    As you say, the first and last spline points always pass through the given points but how do I get the spline to pass through all the given points? In my situation the spline doesn't always pass through the given points in the middle of the first and last. When I view the spline after I am done...

    spline control

    You are using the "LIST" command. I was using the spline icon are they not the same? Are you saying the units precision needs to be higher?

    spline control

    When creating a spline and you want the spline to pass through each point exactly do you need to specify the tolerance with each point? The default is 0.0000; Isn't there a means to set this up in the options? I want to make sure my spline passes through each point exactly and I have noticed on...

    Drawing Scale of Sheet tab

    Thanks! I also see where I can adjust the view port dimensions but what about the white paper border? If I increase the view port size should the white paper underneath adjust to fit?

    Drawing Scale of Sheet tab

    If I change the "Scale Factor" of my drawing to 1:2 under Format>Dimension Style>Linear Dimension, a dimension of 44 inches is now displayed as 22 inches but if I take my measure tool and verify that the dimension is 22 inches, the measure tool will return 44 which indicates to me that I really...

    pdf export

    When I export Sheet 1 to a pdf all of my dashed lines in the pdf appear like half inch long line with 1/4 inch spaces. Is there anyway to have the dashed line export to the same size as shown in the model view?

    drawing a line at an angle

    I'm using Draftsight v1r4, WIN XP SP3. Something happened in the last few minutes and for some reason I can't draw a line at an angle, any angle. It seems fixed so that I can only draw horizontal or vertical. What's going on? Is there a setting to undo this?
