Autocad 2005 questions
(OP)
HI all. We recently upgraded to Autocad 2005, well actually Architectural Desktop 2005...the same but different.
Anyway, I have two questions about functions which have changed slightly:
1. The copy command now defaults to multiple copy. Is there anyway to revert it back to the single copy mode it used to have?
2. The chamfer command no longer shows you the distance setting in the command line when activated. So you have no idea what type of chamfer you are going to get until you have done it. Anyway to change it back to display the distance settings again?
Thanks

When I type CHAMFER on the command line, I get this, which does show the distances:
Command: chamfer
(TRIM mode) Current chamfer Dist1 = 0.5000, Dist2 = 0.5000
Select first line or [Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/Method/mUltiple]:
I use AutoCAD 2005 SP-1 - maybe ADT is different??
RE: Autocad 2005 questions
I will try your suggestion about the copy.
When I ran chamfer with ADT 2004, I used to get exactly what you have shown. Specifically the dist1 and dist2 values would show up. Now with ADT 2005, these values no longer appear when I run the command. Very very frustrating.
I tried going to autodesk's website, but their knowledge base has nothing on this topic. Plus I could not find an email address for tech support. Anyone know it?
Thanks

Also, I discovered that the chamfer problem I described above only occurs in ADT. Autocad and Building Systems works just like it always has. I also discovered that you can force it to use the default autocad chamfer/fillet function by inserting a period in front of command, like this: .chamfer
So I reprogrammed my toolbar buttons and all is as it should be.
