    Possible to bind pdf reference image

    I'm not sure if this is what you want. Convert pdf to image (jpg, png etc.) Add new sheet to Draftsight file. Go to Insert on the menu - Reference image. You can insert bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, tif, tiff. Zoom in for clarity.

    Not having shapes fill with color

    If you read the next section about Extruding, I think it tells you how to turn it off. I'm still on SW2016, so I can't experiment. Sylvia

    Properties Pallete

    Is it there when you switch between Classic and Ribbon views? Have you right clicked next to the Help on the menu & checked Properties? There are a number of ACAD solutions, but I don't know if any of them will work for Draftsight.

    Insert Settings.

    It appears, in my system, that it remembers the last setting, even if you start a brand new drawing. Sylvia

    Snap

    Maybe you're using Snap instead of ESnap. Check the bottom of your screen. I think Snap points go to grid whether visible or not. Esnaps go to endpts, quads, etc.. https://eaglerockproducts.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000581295-status-bar-snap-grid-drawing-aids-in-draftsight...

    Weld Symbol Tail

    This is what I took from my case #114536 at Fisher/Unitech: We resolved the issue by: * opening a drawing * Tools> customize> Toolbars tab * deselecting " use operating system scale * selecting small font Unchecking has solved the problem, but when I loaded SW this morning, it was...

    Weld Symbol Tail

    This happened to me also. It has to do with the setting that you have for Font size in Windows. I had mine customized at 113% and SW doesn't like customize fonts. I'm on 2016 so I can't show you what needs to be changed, but I think it was on the Customize, Toolbars and pick one of the sizes...

    Startup drawing

    If you right click on the tabs, you can choose your templates or go to the Print Config Manager. Right click on the task bar near the 0,0 and you can choose Absolute or Relative. I don't use DraftSight often enough to provide details, but I think this will get you started. Sylvia
