    Sample Plot Styles Required

    FIRST Make sure the "printer support" path is pointing to the directory which will hold all your pen settings. This would be under the "options" box. . SECOND Open an existing file and righ click the layout tab, which would be the "paper space tab". Go to the page...

    Setting Dimensions Style current

    I don't know of any LISP ... ;( BUT! If you're in AutoCAD 2000i, WHY? ... don't you go to ... View>Toolbars And click "ON" the dimension toolbar. The toolbar "allows" you to ***Set to the Current*** DIM STYLE by just pulling down the styles availble in the DWG file you are...

    Translating Acad command in Microstation

    I believe the MicroStation equivalent to scripts would be either "key-ins" applied to the function keys, which would be called a "macro" (At least many have used that term in my experience). ***OR*** UCMs (user command files) Hit your F3 key (search "*.ucm") while...

    Placing a fence in a 3D seed file

    Yeah I heard that V8 has this capability. But I'm in "J" with "Intergraph's Project Architect" and I'm able to do the "fence persistance" as they call it. * So my logic dictates that some variables must be added or turned on to enable it in MicroStation J. * I've...

    Dimensioning an arc length.

    Customzing Match properties in ACAD2000

    I have both versions at work. I never knew you could do that in 14. The "shift" key acts like the remove command for selection. I've tried to duplicate the same process in AutoCAD 2000i and you're right! They seemed to remove that feature of the "shift" key. But still a...

    Volute Drawing

    Volute???? To me a "volute" would be the spiral part of a greek column at it's top piece (the caital). But you might mean a coil of some sort for mechanical. IN EITHER CASE, use the arc command. * The spline would be fine BUT in AutoCAD 13, the spline element would always corrupt a...

    Draw Rectangle

    Did you type in the command? I believe it's "rectang". If that doesn't work. Then it sounds like the lisp might be corrupt or missing. Copy it from someone else's machine and overwrite it on your machine OR re-install AutoCAD 2002. Hope that helps . Rich@LG (Architect)

    exporting DWG/DXF formats from Microstation for 3Dmax import

    I know this is an old thread but here it goes anyway. I recall reading somewhere that arcs and circles in MicorStation won't translate well to AutoCAD. So I would guess that your shape has some form of curve or spline and that's what missing? I'm guessing? Otherwise, I wouldn't see why 3D MAX...

    Importing dwg and text

    Dude, I know this is an old thread ... but In AutoCAd ... Have you tried to "BURST" everything 3 times? "PURGE" the file 3 times too before exiting. This should drop everything in AutoCAD and make it an easier import for you. Hope this helps anyone out there... RICH@LG...

    iplot plotting

    Have you tried to "Compress" the DGN file? I've had that problem once or twice ... Also try using "print/plot"... could be that IPLOT settings were change do to some maintenance on your server. If it plots fine using the native plot than it could be IPLOT itself. Later...

    Rotating in the Z axis

    Dude, have you tried to just rotate in top view? Use the power selector and click the rotate icon AND ... Then snap to the Center of your object... That should do the trick ... Otherwise? I believe you have to draw construction lines to rotate at the center point or base point you're after...
