Hi Lisa, It's difficult to explain without being there, but I'll have a go. Bare with me if I explain something you already know. Viewports are like looking through holes in the paper you'll be plotting on (paperspace). When you look through a 'hole' you see what is in the model...

Are there any layers turned off?

Hi Gary, Persevere a little more, DS can do all that AutoCAD can. It might seem a little more convoluted at first but once you get the hang of it it's fine. I'm at work with AutoCad at the mo so without DS in front of me I can't remember where to start. Adding new commands is in one part of...

That's a poor excuse really! Layer states is only a quick way of turning layers on and off. All it would mean is that someone would have to set them up again, no biggy really! Certainly not enough reason to save the thousands in the cost that is does!

Good find Jordy. I updated mine even though I didn't have that graphic problem, the drivers I had were quite old. (Good old Windows doing it for you... or not!)

That looks like something to do with the scale of it. I don't seem to be able to reproduce it.

Type HIDEVIEW and hit enter. Does that do anything?

Type 'image' hit enter, see if there are any clues in the References Palette.

I've not had this problem. I know Windows 10 is a little buggy though! Just scratching my head.... When you look at the properties of the referenced image, I take it that the 'show image' box says 'yes', and that the path to the file hasn't been changed by the windows install? I'll keep...

Hi all, I found that not matter where you told DS to look for the Alias file, it looked here first C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\DraftSight\bin So, I just put a copy of the Alias file in that folder, then told DS to look there for it and hey presto Aliases are back! I reckon it must be a...

Here's one macro.... ^C^C^P-layer;t;DIMTEXT;m;DIMTEXT;c;14;DIMTEXT;;$M=$(if,$(getvar,tilemode),,vplayer;t;DIMTEXT;;;);;^Pdimlinear^M We have a layer for text called DIMTEXT, just change that for what you call your layer. As far as I can remember, it works in DraftSight no probs. It creates...

I'm SO happy right now! I've made a new shortcut key, CTRL=H, and the groups toggle on and off like in AutoCAD now!!!! YAY!

HA! Just did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![dazed] That last one works!!!!!!!! Must have not done something before, SORTED!!!

Seen that post you did, had it bookmarked! I have two extra buttons now to set the SETENTSELMODE to one or zero. I did have a go at changing these macros that toggle settings but couldn't crack it! Don't know enough about Diesel. ^P'orthomode...

Hi Sylvia, That's exactly what I was after!! Thank you! [thanks] SETENTSELMODE 0 Does not select Groups or associative Hatches 1 Selects Groups 2 Selects associative Hatches 3 Selects Groups and associative Hatches

Type DISPLAYIMAGEFRAME and set it to 'n' for no. I hope that works for you!!

Hi Dave, I think the box is only so that you can select it and/or put it on a layer. It's meant to be like that. AFAIK, the box doesn't print as a box. Simon.

Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a way to toggle groups on and of like in ACAD? In ACAD it's CTRL+H. Thank you, Simon.[bigsmile]

Hi Sylvia, Thank you for your reply. I can see what you mean, but the features there are somewhat limited. I have a few commands that I would like to add to my right-click menu, but I find it's quicker to 'right-click'+Key press, rather than 'right-click+left-click'. But if that's the way...

Hi All, When I right click and press C, it starts the CLIPBOARDCOPY command. What determines this? I would like to execute other commands on my right click menu the same way. ie 'right-click+3 would start another command named with a 3 at the front of it's name. Thank you. Simon.[bigglasses]
