    Copy & Paste objects in a Border (polygon)

    Yes FENCE does not Trim crossing elements. Some time ago I,ve used a trick with XREF's like following. To the current drawing inserting reference drawing as XREF or either as Block. Draw the cut out polygon as Closed Polyline. Then with XCLIP command cut out unnecessary areas of the reference...

    How to Hide a Row in a Table

    It is difficult to say how to make tables in Autocad with such functionality and up to date relations between changes like other programs do. What ever you try after each change in the table, you will be required do updates manually in every drawing. I never tried Autocad dynamic block...

    How to Hide a Row in a Table

    Do you talk about excel table as OLE object in Autocad? If I remember, after editing such Excel tables from Autocad it was possible to drag the bottom or right border to adjust additional rows and columns.

    How to Hide a Row in a Table

    In Autocad you'd rather make a copy of the table and simply delete all these rows and columns to be hidden. Original copy of table move somewhere in the non-printable area and keep it for later table editions. Another way could be using MS Excel. When table in Autocad is inserted as Excel file...

    Projection in Trim command

    It has effect, when you are trimming something within 3D space but not in 2D. Trim -> Project has three options: None, Ucs and View. When Project is set to None, trimming lines have to cross each other in the space. Otherwise they will be not trimmed. When Project is set to Ucs, lines will be...

    My ACAD.LSP file

    I agreed with you SparWeb. In my life I meet many people from manufacturing and engineering plant that "work" with Autocad for centuries and well knows how to open drawing, print it and as higher level users are able to put some dimensions. Autocad still always by my hand, just time I spend...

    My ACAD.LSP file

    The time has came that Autocad is usable less and less. Some time ago I had really big library of additional Autocad functions in Lisp. But with every new Autocad version came new functions together. So some Lisp text were going to oblivion. Still using several Lisp commands saved in my acad.lsp...

    Custom iProperties on multiple Part files

    Thanks for the response. I am trying avoid to open every part and set custom parameters. Still keeping the way to create Length, Width, Height and Area parameters formatted as String from the highest level assembly to every part and subassemble that belongs to it. Created parameters could be as...

    Color assignment by object type

    Now I understand your requirements to the DXF/DWG files. Try these two lines in your Lisp code: (setq AllSplines (ssget "X" '((0 . "SPLINE")))) (command "CHPROP" AllSplines "" "C" "RED" "")
