When I dimension something I am getting an asterisk (*) where the fraction should be. Does anyone have any idea how to correct this? Thank you.

Thank you SO much for your help. The more I'm using it, the more that is coming back to me. I need to be up to my old level of expertise by the end of the month.

You may have to EXPORT to an earlier version. We have to export from Autodesk ABS 2007 and I'm sure we'll have to when we go to 2008.

Don't laugh at me! I started out using Microstation when it FIRST came out, back in the 80's. Then the company I was working for started using AutoCAD, which I detest. Now, I've got a chance to move to another company which uses Microstation exclusively. I've trying to convert my...

Just a general survey question here: How long should it take to fully implement ABS 2007 (from ADT 2004)? Months? Weeks? I'm talking about from the beginning of the training until a core group of individuals from each discipline (Arch, Mech and Electrical) has the ability to fully utilize...

Thank you so much for your answer!

A co-worker asked me this question and I am stumped because I rarely use it. In fact, I don't think I've ever used it. Years ago there was a command (and the name of it escapes me right now) that would delete/purge duplicate entities/lines (or whatever) on the same layer. It was used to...

Thank you so much for your help. It worked like a charm!

I sure hope someone can help me here. I am drawing a polyline with a width of 12" to indicate an area of responsibility on several drawings. Most of the drawings are plotting properly, but 2 of them won't: the polyline is plotting not filled in (empty), if that makes any sense. (It appears...

Finally got it! Thank you!

The problem is trying to edit the text without the dialog box coming up and I can't figure out how to edit text from the command line.

Actually, the "select" is working, but now I can't figure out how to change the text style. Working on coming up with a lisp.

Thank you, Lothar, but I must be doing something wrong, because it is not working.

We receive a fair amount of AutoCad drawings from outside sources that we would like to use for xref's. However, the fonts are all over the map and we would like to be able to change the fonts to our company's standard, but we'd like to be able to do it with as much ease as possible. Is there...
