    Print/List iProperties

    Is there a way to extract the iProperties from all the files in a folder to a list? I don't want to open each model to achieve this. TIA Dave

    Symbol for Third Angle Projection

    I have a copy of BS308 1984. This recommends the proportions of the cone to have an included angle of 30 deg. If the larger dia is d, the cone length is d and the distance between the end of the cone and the vertical centreline of the end view is 1_1/4d. HTH Dave

    Density in repeat region?

    I am trying to list the densities of all the parts in an assembly using repeat regions. As the header I am using "&asm.mbr.MP_DENSITY", but the column that is created shows either a "1" or a "0", not the value of the density. Has anyone any idea what I am doing wrong? TIA Dave

    Help with Properties Dialog Box Autocad 2002

    dizzy, did you manage to resolve this properties problem? The same thing is happening to me in Autocad 2000. I preselect an entity, right click and select properties and get an empty dialogue box. If I select delete instead the entity is deleted.

    Use of mass from material definition.

    Normally when I create a model I define the density using "Edit"; "Setup"; "Mass Properties". Sometimes I also need to define the material. However, the material also defines a density, which does not necessarily match the one defined in mass properties.I then go on...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to be away from my computer for the next week, so will be unable to confirm any results. However, your interest is greatly apreciated. Regards, Dave

    Conditional trend line?

    Is it possible to pre-selectthe range for a graph, and then fill in the date within this range as it becomes available over a period of weeks, and have the trend line reflect the current state. When I try this all the empty cells distort the trend line. TIA

    Radio button array

    Is it possible to create two columns of radio buttons, such that only one button can be selected? I've tried a boxed radio column containing rows of two buttons, but only the buttons on the same row are mutually exclusive. The box looks ridiculous with all the buttons in one column, which is the...

    c/sink dia of std threaded hole

    The countersink details may be added to the hole note by adding "&Cbore_diameter x &Cbore_angle" - at least in 2001. I discovered that while looking for the answer to my original problem. Dave

    How to "pick many" in 2001?

    OK, I obviously don't read these posts correctly - Prohow stated quite clearly in his post dated june 17 that the mapkey worked in drawing mode. I was trying to use it in model mode. It makes a big difference when you do what your told! Dave

    How to "pick many" in 2001?

    Like Oxana I tried the mapkey, and was taken only to MODIFY>DIMENSION, with no PICK MANY. I am using build 2001320. Does some other setting need to be enabled in config.pro?
