I am trying to use AutoCAD 2000 learning assistance. I can't seem to bring up the video demo, but the audio is fine. The Windows Media Player icom is displayed but no video. I have the latest update installed of Media Player and it works ok by itself. Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks, bigbill

I am using AutoCAD 2000 to layout and draw rooms in 2D plan view, and I want to color in or fill objects on the plan such as lab tables, sinks, etc.

How can I set the screening to 25% and keep the outline at 100%? Is it possible to set different screening % on several opjects on the same dwg.? thanks, bigbill

I am still having a problem in trying to fill objects on dwgs. I was told to use color code 8 or 9 an then "send to back". This worked fine but only for 2 shades of grey. I want to be able to use pastel colors (pink, green, blue, yellow, etc. I havn't been able to extract the light...

Thanks Beatchz, Your method worked, but I want to use more colors than grey such as pastel green, pink ,blue, etc. Do you or anyone know how I can get these very light shades for fill? Thanks, Bigbill

I have seen a lot of AutoCAD drawings with areas shaded with very light colors (usually Architectural plan views). I would like to use this feature in my work, but if I use "hatch solid" the fill in is way to dark. Can anyone give me instructions on the way to lightly shade areas. Thanks

Crystalrae suggested I use Hot Keys to increase my screen working area. What are Hot Keys? Is there a list? Thanks

How can I use the max. screen when I am drawing? Is there a way to use the full screen with the min. required toolbars? Thanks Bill Rolland

That seems to be the problem, can you take me step by step from the desktop to install to these fonts in "C:\Program files\ACAD2000\Fonts folder? I must be doing something wrong. Thanks for your help, Bill Rolland billrolland@msn.com

I still can't install 2 fonts from a floppy disc. They are: Archquik . shx and Archstyl . shx. I must be missing something very basic because I have followed all of the past instructions, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone give me instructions from the desktop on? I must be doing something...

Hi crystalrae, Thanks for trying to help me. I did as you instructed and everything came up. When i got to the install new font window under lists of fonts it displayed "no fonts found". I checked the disc and it lists 2 fonts. Do you have any ideas? I went to the control panel fron...

I have a floppy disc with A font that I would like to use. The font is Archquick,shx & archstyl.shx. I have been trying to install this font into AutoCad 2000 for the last few weeks without any sucess. Can anyone take the time to detail each step in the process of installing these fonts into...

When I am making a drawing in Autocad 2000 there are times when the scroll on my Microsoft mouse operates as a zoom (prefered). Other times it operates as a scroll (up & down). I know that I am doing something to cause this, but I can't seem to pinpoint my mistake. Can anyone tell me what I am...

thanks for your reply, but there isn't any "next thread" button on the first form page.

How do I go to the next page in this forum? I don't see a button.

I just made an assembly drawing. I input a 4.375 dim on a shaft length. When I went to put a dim. line on this part the dim text showed 4.369. How can this happen? My osnap and ortho were on, shouldn't the line snap to the input dimension? Thanks, Bill Rolland

I have been trying to layout some part designs. When I click on const line, select hor., specify through point- 6. I then checked the dist. of the two horiz lines and it is never 6.000, it is always .005 to .030 less than the entered 6. My osnap and ortho are on. What am I doing wrong? Thanks...
