I'm still working on finding the *.dwg(block) you're talking about but I wanted to ask you how to restore toolbars to their normal state. In other words I put a bunch of toolbars on my drawing thinking I'd be able to experiment with them to see if they'd save me any steps. Then I realized they...

I just opened up a new page and drew some objects and for some reason I can't see them...any of them! if I go to my other pages they work just fine but not this new one. It's weird. If I select the area they're in I can see the handles(you know, the blue grabbers) but when I click back on the...

This is a great forum. You are all great men. Thank you for helping me. I appreciate every one of you. Mark

smcadman, after I pick face it asks Enter an option (next/xflip/ yflip) <accept>. What do these mean. I just want all my dimensions to touch or get as close as possible to the object I'm dimensioning.

I'm trying to make a radius dimension of a sphere

I'm designing a new invention in ACAD 2004 and I'm trying to add a dimension on a sphere. How do I do that? Thank you in advance. Mark

Binary, I'm a little confused on what you said. Everytime I copy and paste to an area that looks like it's only a few millimeters away from the main object it isn't. When I go into 3d orbit the 2 objects looks MILES! apart. I've been reading and playing around with the UCS toolbar and can't seem...

Dear IFRs I went to Reidtool.com and downloaded a bunch of 3D drawing but I can't open them. I get a &quot;severe error&quot; message whenever I try. Do you know what's wrong? They have a &quot;sldprt&quot; extension which I've never seen. E.G. One drawing is called JF-35.sldprt. ??? Mark

thank you Scott and TheTick. I'm actually fairly experienced in AutoCAD 97 LT but I've been away from it for quite a while and now I'm upgrading and designing a new invention. All the best, Mark

How do I set my UCS to match the plane of the object I want to dimension and set the origin so my entities are at Z=0?

Could anyone tell me how to keep the extension lines and arrows on the exact corners of 3d solids? e.g. I'll draw a 3d box and dimension it and the dimensions in front view will look fine but when I go to orbit they're way off. I've been checking &quot;Mastering AutoCad 2004&quot; and can't find...

Got it Scott. Thanks. Mark

Also, When I dimension an object, most of the time the dimension is somewhere way out in space. Thank you, Mark

&quot;Sketch Section&quot;? What's that? How do I add a merge contraint (another thing I never heard of...surprise surprise). TheTick...now I'm reading your message a little farther down...it says use &quot;convert entities&quot;. How do I do that too. Man, I don't know much do I? Thanks for...

Hi, How's it going. I was wondering...is there a way to keep drawings together in 3d space. For example...I'll cut and paste something in a new drawing. Then I'll zoom back a little to allow a little room to put a new drawing I create. Then when I got to Left View (or right)the thing I just drew...
