    Rust Conversion/Protection

    Hey Rhodie, Thanks for the response. Your right, just about all of products I listed turn into a black film. Most of them sell for about $35-50/gal. and require a topcoat due to the exposure to the elements. The one Rust-Bullet is silvery/gray when applied, stays that way and doesn't need a...

    Rust Conversion/Protection

    I have a large house trailer that has a sheet metal roof that has never been coated before. For the past 20 years the trailer was covered but is now exposed (now a camp in a saltwater enviroment). I've looked into some products but you can't alway believe what you read so I am looking for some...

    %%synonyms

    Back in Rel. 13 or 14, there were a few drawing files (EURO____.DWG, ROM_____.DWG, TEB_____.DWG, TEL_____.DWG, etc. each for a different font). These drawings consisted of rows/columns numbered 0-255 each with its coresponding character in that font. Just change the font of the style for...

    Plotting large plots in AutoCAD 2002

    Natester, I never plotted 36x100 but I used to plot 36x64. I had to go under the plotter properies then the custom settings. Here I created a custom papersize. In this same area I also set my choices (color, quality, etc.) instead of setting these manually on the plotter itself. I'm not at...

    Line follow command?

    I haven't used Cad Overlay in a long time, so this may be of no help. We are now on Raster Design. Under Image->Vectorization Tools->Polyline Follower or Image->Vectorization Tools->Contour Follower would be what you are looking for. Good Luck! Stephen E. Motichek Project Consulting...

    show bearings and distances

    Here is a lisp file I've used since rel. 12 and still use in Map 5. It puts the dist & heading on the text layer and it the text layer doesn't exist then it creates it. ;* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ;* HDG.LSP...

    Wipeout

    We've had this problem too. We had to install the AutoDesk Wipeout Object Enabler : http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=2525447&linkID=2475161 Now a crash is very rare when messing with wipeouts. Good Luck. Stephen E. Motichek Project Consulting Services, Inc.

    AUTOCAD MAP

    Hi chicopee, We use map for it's ability to convert between different coodinate systems. Before Map, we would take our XY coords and use an external program to convert these to lat/longs, then import or cut/paste these back into cad. One of the best features for me is its ability to redraw...

    Using BONUS Tools (14) in 200X ?

    I suggest getting the Express Tools instead of the Bonus Tools: http://www.tbaug.com/Main-web/lsp_files.htm or to download the needed file directly: http://www.tbaug.com/lispfiles/etv1-9.zip Hope this helps, SEMott Stephen E. Motichek Project Consulting Services, Inc.

    16 Button mouse vs. Standard mouse

    I was one of the first to reply to your post and would also like to add why I'm more in favor of the standard mouse over a digitizer. When I first started out I used a 4-button puck for about 4 yrs. until it wore out and the company didn't want to replace it. Then I went to a mouse and was...

    spooling dialogue box

    I agree with Borgunit in that Acad doesn't want you to do anything until it finishes all the calculations for plotting. When I switch to Acad 2002 I had the same problem with the S L O W plotter. It would take a map composed of 2-40meg images 20 minutes to send to the plotter then another 20...

    Cad test suitable for an interview

    Hey R12NV, I used to have an interactive test but it was for release 12. I recently took the Autocad 2000 test at www.brainbench.com and I think it did a decent job. I stumbled across their link through another website and it gave me some type of code to recieve a free test. Here is a link...
