    Autocad scripts and vault

    Sparweb, I could have provided more info, my apologies on that. The big hurdle seems to be that they are located within separate folders. When all the files are within one folder, I have used the Vault interface to check them all out at once. I have been unable (it could be very simple and I...

    Autocad scripts and vault

    We are currently getting into the vault world with Autocad (have been using it with Inventor for a bit now). One item that I use frequently in Autocad is script files, to run a number of commands in anywhere from 50 - 1000 drawings at a shot. Has anyone run into doing that with Vault? I have...

    SOLIDWORKS: Cloud 3D CAD browser-based vs locally 3D CAD installed

    A few years ago, I was the company contact with a new IT provider. They wanted to push everything to cloud based, and for me, the main item that determined it for us was our location. With where the building sat, there was something screwy with the comm towers and wiring. Any time someone hit...

    AutoCAD file conversion from inch to mm.........................

    How I've done it for years - just need to know what you're drawing in as far as the main unit. Feet and inches is most typical here, but we've also done projects with mm. I then set UNITS insertion scale to match that. All of our blocks are built with units set in inches, so if we're using a...

    Dimension randomly changes in autoCAD paper space

    I have encountered this before as well, or at least similar. We would open the drawing on one computer, and the dimensions would all show up as fractional. Opening the exact same file (no changes, saves, etc... NOTHING done to change the file) on another computer, half the dimensions would...

    Autocad glitch - geometry moved during fillet??

    flight, I've seen the file, and other similar to it, and have acknowledged that it is a minuscule amount of variance. When you're dealing with the width of a galaxy, what does a couple meters difference make? Depending on how close you may be to a gravity well, things may become distorted and...

    Autocad glitch - geometry moved during fillet??

    IFR, Guessing that you meant 0.0310001? If so, then yes. However, I lengthened the standoff leg just to see, and tried it with .310001 as well. Still gives the same result.

    Autocad glitch - geometry moved during fillet??

    Spar, powers that be have, well... lets just say uploading might be more headaches than I want today, due to the levels of proprietary data to try and strip out and our resident security gurus... I do appreciate the time though. Interesting read 3dDave, I'd never thought through it that far...

    Autocad glitch - geometry moved during fillet??

    Spar, I'll clean out info that I can't send, and see if the file still does it. If so, I'll post shortly. IFR, I thought about that, and even moved it to 0,0. All components at zero Z elevation, still recreated error.

    Autocad glitch - geometry moved during fillet??

    Thanks for the response Spar, sorry I didn't include the info to start with... Tried it in a block, still happened. Copyclip to a new file twice... First one didn't do it, second one did repeat the error. However, did find out that in the original file, if I did a TTR circle, trimmed it all...

    Autocad glitch - geometry moved during fillet??

    Haven't encountered this one before, but have tried it in 2 versions of autocad, on two different machines: Have a screw boss on an extrusion that is on a standoff leg from the interior face. Inner and outer surfaces of screw boss are concentric. Distance in autocad shows both X and Y...

    Learning How to Type

    As stated above, motivation drives a lot of it. I don't by any means type "correctly", but CAN type reasonably quickly. When I first started typing, online access was a dial-up modem, and ISP's charged by minutes connected. That was a lot of motivation there, and it got quite expensive if I...

    What justification do you need to take a pay cut?

    From my chair, it would boil down to a couple simple questions: If I'm unhappy now, do I see it getting any better in the near future, or long term? Can bills / household budget be comfortably (or not-so comfortably) covered by what the new position would offer? Balance that against the level...

    Auto cad

    If it was me, I would probably write a script file that would change all the colors to 7. Depending on how things are done, you would either do that by changing the color on all the layers to 7 (if objects are set to BYLAYER), or needing to select all the objects and forcing the color of the...
