The table was created from a spread sheet in Excel.I am using AutoCAD 2009. All the legends in our drawings were done using ole excell files and I have been converting them to AutoCAD tables. It is not a major issue as they can be scaled in the viewport but it is annoying.Thanks

Why, when a table is brought in from a data link then the link is detached will the table not scale? I mean the table will scale but the text inside does not!. However if I create a table and enter data manually it will scale. Any ideas anyone. Thanks

Autocad 2009, Many thanks, read that but still can't understand! The image it should be reading should be large as I have zoomed extents and saved as (with the check box ticked to update thumbnail). When it is viewed in the preview pane in design centre it is large so why is it not when draged...

Hi When I drag a dwg from the design centre to the tool palette the image is too small (not all dwg's just some of them). I have gone into the source dwg and zoomed extents changed the limits etc and re-saved but it doesn't make a difference. Only happens on some of them. anybody know what it...

Hi I know there are various routines for auto numbering by "clicking" and getting a consecutive number each time but is there a routine or a way of being able to automatically number each block with an attribute by swiping the drawing and the routine starts at the top left for instance and works...

Autocad 2009. Tables created using new data extraction wizard.

Hi I want to create a table using the extraction wizard.The table consists of many items. Every so often the client may ask for an item to be deleted so I need to remove it from the drawing. The clients like to see "omitted" in place of the item in the table so that it is obvious which items...

Hi If you extract data to a table with 1-15 items say, and tell the items column to be in assending order it puts 10, 11, 12, 13 after the 1. eg the table column would read 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Is this a glitch? I have blocks with an "item" attribute and would like the...

I have sorted it. There is a check box in the "save as" block definition dialogue box that lets the block be saved as a drawing. Thanks alot

AutoCAD 2009

Anybody know how to save a dynamic block, that is in a drawing to be the <current drawing> so that I can insert it from the design centre as a dynamic block? Please help I have been trying for 3 hours now and I don't want to start again as it is quite complex. Thanks

Hi Once an action has been recorded can it be placed onto a pallette. Can't seem to find a way. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Borgunit, not too bothered about plotting I just want the display to be smooth and without facets, clients often sit over me whilst I'm modelling and it spoils the effect!!

In AutoCAD 2000 DISPSILH=1 used to remove the display lines on a cylinder. This does not seem to be the case in 2006, the lines are remove when plotting but not in display any ideas. Thank You

Ozzy84 Thats the one, thanx

IAT does not work. I am running AutoCAD 2002 LT

Could anyone remind me of the keyboard shortcut to bring up the insert dialogue box in AutoCAD LT 2002 so I can insert a JPEG. I know it can be done but I can't remember how? thank

Thanks Thats how I started all of this by having a template file with the attribute block, and I would start with the template like you say. But because the template has multiple entries of the same thing (ie the dwg no shows up 3 times on the template), I thought there would be an easier way of...

The reason why I want it as as .dwt apposed to a block is so it prompts &quot;save as&quot; so it cannot be altered. The reason the attribute block is in model space is because I have created multiple viewports in paper space to look at the same attribute a few times because my borders have got...

Hi AutoCAD 2000i I am trying to create a template (border) that can be inserted into any dwg. I usually insert my borders by right clicking on the layout tab and choosing &quot;from Template&quot; then choosing the template I have created, but when I do this the attribute block which has been...
