I would like to get suggestions from the community about an external B.O.M. or parts list program. What are your thoughts about it? Suggested software or programs or ideas…
I am building a database to handle an external parts list, using MS Access. It’s very detailed and relatively...
yea, that is not an available option... I am very suprised it is not...sorry for posting a desktop post in this forum but there is very little action in the desktop forum....
Thanks any way...
how do I save a 3d model from Desktop 2006 back to desktop 2005. I can IGES and STEP but that doens't take the parametrics along with it. It should at least be backwards compatable.

What do I need to do to get a lisp routine to pause and let me change layout tabs and then continue on. for example I would like to insert 2 zone blocks, one on sheet 1 and the other on sheet 3,
I think I am on to something with this, its a little choppy but it works. I have created a lisp routine to undefine the regen command, then create a second lisp routine called regen. (or you could just create one called update...See below....

You could use the dwgprops command, select the the custom tab and fill out your information, if an existing tab doesn't adequetly describe your title block than add as many new ones as you need, this data will be stored in the drawing. You can than call this information from your attributed...
No my Lisp background is very basic at best. I have only created multifunction routines and simple get statements....(okay I will be honest, I really just find code thats close and and I tweak it to fit my app)
Do you have anything that I can work with? I might be able to massage it to fit my...
Anybody develop any custom drawing Formats???
Here is my task and background thougths...
We currently have Acad 2005. We use layout tabs. Our Sht 1 has an attribute that contains all the pertinent info, dwg name , dwg number, date, sht X of X.

Has anybody used/created a lisp routine that will allow you to select the objects... then auotmatically, change properties to layer 0, color Bylayer, ltype bylayer and then convert to a block using typed name or anonymus name remove object and insert in same location?
This sounds like a LISP...
Anybody played around with fields yet?
I am trying to get a total number of tabs. I can use ctab to harvest the name of tab, but I really need the qty of tabs or the variable (if any) to read the last tab.
Also, looking to remove the ".dwg" from the dwgname variable.
I am currently using...
I have a weird thing going on with my drawing. My drawing was created in ACAD 2000 and we have upgraded to 2006. When I opened the drawing in 2006 everything was fine, I worked on it for a while and then while switching back through the tabs I notice something startling, my leaders had shot off...
I am using MD 2006, how do i find the CG of my part and how do I document it on a drawing, for example in my detail prints I have a front, top & side view with dimensions, I would like to add a CG marker and dimension it out.
Any ideas? Thanks Travis
Hello all,
After quite a bit of research I was able to solve this problem myself. For the benefit of others, I will describe the solution. Using ACAD 2005 I took advantage of the new “Fields” command and inserted a diesel function as a field into the attribute. With this I was able to call the...
