    Downloading CAD Files?

    Thank you for your help! Is the glass half full, or half empty?

    Downloading CAD Files?

    Does anyone have a good website that I could download CAD files of fasteners to import into AutoCAD? The website I normally use is very limited. Thanks!

    Intersecting Lines?

    That's a good idea! I would've never thought of that. Thanks

    Intersecting Lines?

    It would fall back on me if the laser cutting is bad due to the drawing. Maybe I should stick to the method I already use. Good food for thought though, I'll have to look it up and test it out and check the contour. Thanks!

    Intersecting Lines?

    "cvg is right, and my position is that shoddy workmanship should not be accepted" I agree with this statement 100%. My problem is that I have tried to talk to the engineers about some of these problems, but nothing seems to change. It seems to me that a big company like them doesn’t want to hear...

    Intersecting Lines?

    I already thought about and have tried requesting better files in the past with this customer. It is normally quicker for me to fix the drawing than to wait for them to do it, I don't always have the time to wait, like with this job. I'm done now and it was a very tedious task, but I would still...

    Intersecting Lines?

    Sometimes my job requires me to scale dxf files from a customer and use for production, for a laser cutting operation. It is important that all the lines in my drawings connect. The problem I keep running into is that the files I receive not all the lines connect, the only way I know how to...

    Polar Line Color

    No it doesn't go by the cursor because my cursor is yellow.

    Polar Line Color

    Is there a way to change the color of the polar line? In AutoCAD 2000 the line was white by default, but it 2006 it's a dark grey and it is hard to see. If there a way to change the color and how do I go about doing so?

    Dimension Problem

    When I create a new part in ACAD I always dimension the part before I add in all my corner radiuses and never had any problem doing so. Today seems to be different because after I dimensioned the part, I added the radiuses and all the dimensions jumped off of the intersection points and went to...

    Plotting Problem

    Ohhhh.....wish I would've known that before I got the program. Thanks!

    Plotting Problem

    I'm running AutoCAD 2006 Educational Version, and I feel lost with some of the new settings I'm coming across. On all of my plots, "Produced by an AutoDesk Educational Product" shows up on all four sides of the paper. How do I eliminate this from my printouts? Did I goof in the installation...

    Startup Dialog Box?

    Thanks! I over looked that when I was searching for it.

    Startup Dialog Box?

    I just upgraded from AutoCAD 2000 to 2006 and I noticed that ACAD 2006 doesn't have the startup dialog box I'm use to using. My question is, does 2006 have a startup dialog box? If so, how do I activate it? Thanks for your input.

    Now I have another question....how do I use a routine?

    Explode Spline

    Is it possible to explode a spline contour?? If so, how do I go about doing so. The explode command doesn't work. Thanks for your help in advance.
