    Draftsight copy and rotate in one command from an icon

    Eric, It wasn't any specific command. it was an icon with a new command attached to it. the command was $M=$(IF,$(EQ,$(SUBSTR,$(GETVAR,GETACTCMD),1,4),GRIP),_COPY,^C^C_COPY);\;\;_ROTATE This will allow me to select ONE entity only, then rotate it. The way it worked is click on the icon...

    Draftsight copy and rotate in one command from an icon

    Those are all good suggestions, but not what I'm looking for. When I used to use Autocad I had an Icon created with the command that would allow me to pick multiple entities and rotate them the same as the normal rotate command. Then in Draftsight (free version) I found a similar command that...

    Reference Image Disappears

    I have this issue too. We use Draftsight here at work. In our weld up print we like to include a picture of the finished product to help the welders know what the actual part looks like when completed. It's just a thing we do. We used to use AutoCAD and when we inserted a pic it showed up...

    Lisa, Make sure that the layer you have your border and stuff on isn't set to "not print". I had something similar happen to me and it took me awhile to realize that I had accidently set the layer to not print. Gary

    Problems creating non horizontal parallel lines

    Lisa, it works with an infinite line for me. Give it another try. At least you were able to get it to work on a standard length line. Gary

    Problems creating non horizontal parallel lines

    Try using the "offset" command. It will ask you for a distance, select the line you want and the side you want to offset to. It will then place an exact copy of the line you selected on the side you chose at the distance you put in. It works great for any line. In fact it will even offset a...

    Custom Icons

    Ok so first off let me say thank you to Simon for the quick response. Now on to the results. I tried the code that Simon provided but it didn't work. It may work in AutoCAD, but doesn't seem to work in DS. Here is the code I used to use in AutoCAD to copy and rotate...

    Custom Icons

    Ok I just joined and this is my first post. I am using Draftsight 2015 version and it works fine. I came from Autocad 2010 and I have been a long time AutoCAD user. I had a command on an icon in AutoCAD that did copy and rotate in a single icon. I have found out that Draftsight does not have...
