    OSNAP IN AUTOCAD 2009

    That's what I have been doing only without the shift key. That is if I just right click on the OSNAP icon I get the same result as with the shift key. In 2007 I could do this all in one mouse click.

    OSNAP IN AUTOCAD 2009

    I recently started working in AutoCad Lite 2009. A lot of stuff is different than 2007. One of the things I am having trouble with is the OSNAPS. In 2007 I would have an OSNAP toolbar docked on the right side that I customized to show the snaps I used most frequently. That is, I would always...

    How to print all sheets in a drawing.

    There is a thread I started on this. Smoeone mentioned choose "all layout tabs". That is true for older versions, but it apparently doesn't work that way in 2009. I found that I must use "publish" in 2009. I had some difficulty with this at first, but I figured it out. I simply had select the...

    Inserting/updating multiple blocks?

    A place I used to work had BOM information linked to blocks of components like fittings and relays. That is, if you brought a block into the drawing it automatically updated the BOM. What I did to avoid bringing the blocks in onesey-twosey was make a block that had all the component blocks in...

    "A guess, is your SNAP turned ON in the viewport so that the mouse pointer is jumping to snap spacing?" I agree

    Online AutoCad training

    A year and a half ago I took an Autocad course at a training school. I didn't need it because I had already been working in AutoCad for many years. I originally went to there for a job teaching Autocad. However I was unemployed at the time and unemployment would pay for the course. I still...

    PUBLISHING/ PLOTTING

    What is the deal with the publish in 2009? I cannot seem to find how to plot a multi sheet drawing unless I plot one sheet at a time. In older versions I could just pick the sheets I wanted to plot and plot them all at once.

    TEXT EDITING DIMENSIONS IN AUTOCADlite 2009

    In all the previous versions I worked in I could add text to a dimension and not effect the dimension. The dimension value would appear as <> in the text editor. For example I could put something like: "<> ref". V2009 doesn't allow me to do that.(Perhaps because it is associtive dimension...
