Can anyone offer any advice on where to find a simple AutoCAD plug-in that will allow me two functions:
1) to insert (externally reference) MrSID (*.sid) high-resolution orthoquads into a drawing, and
2) have this image inserted to its georeferenced coordinates.
I have the freeware MrSID...
So you're saying that the "save as" option in the bit map editor of AutoCAD does not automatically adjust the name in the menu files, correct?
Manual editing of the .mns file is the only option?
And does this create more problems from a management perspective, or is it worth the time...
I may be answering my own question here, but it seems that opening, moving, and closing various toolbars does not prompt a change to ACLT.mns. However, tinkering with the actual buttons does. Which begs the question, if the ACLT.mns file contains information on the location and state of each...
Can someone explain the logic AutoCAD uses in updating .mns files? I am tinkering with a series of menus and was attempting to isloate all customization within the ACLT menu, save it as a seperate menu file, and maintain a generic "out of the box" version of the ACLT menu.
I have the...

In creating new buttons with macro routines, each button has an icon associated with it. I find that as I create a new icon, CAD prompts me to "save" or "save as" and I give it a descriptive "name.bmp". The bitmap is saved under the name that I...
Ultimately, what is it that you are trying to do with the EPS file? If you're trying to use the drawing for graphic images, there are a number of options that you can do depending upon the software you have at your disposal, and I might be able to help with that.

Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then!
BTW - Playing with it a little further, the syntax is actually (polar point1 angle distance) where angle is in radians. To make the leader tail 1" in the opposite direction, replace 0 with pi:
^C^C_LEADER;\\(polar (getvar...
Thanks for the tip - that worked out perfect on the first attempt:
^C^C_LEADER;\\(polar (getvar "lastpoint") 0 (getvar "dimscale"));;;N;
Note: Because the tail of the leader is supposed to be 1", the DIMSCALE value is equal to 1" in PS.

I don't know if this is a command in 14 or not, but you can try this:
Set your UCS such that its orientation is Y towards where you want the top of the screen to be and X is towards where you want the right of the screen to be.
At the command line, type PLAN
It will default to current UCS, so...
I'm tinkering with a macro definition for an AutoCAD button that will create a leader line to be used for a welding symbol. The macro needs to create a leader in MS with the tail being exactly 1" in PS. The sticking point is my logic wants to use a relative coordinate definition that is...
