    Referencing Excel Table in Draftsight drawing

    Hi, I inadvertently discovered that one needs to save and close the Excel file before the update gets reflected in your drawing. However, this works just fine in Windows 7 but on my newer computer, I cannot perform the same function. Now I'm trying to figure out what makes the difference...

    Entity Selection

    Okay, that sure does sound easier by far but I see no icon on my screen next to the selection box. Is there another setting that I have missed? I'm sorry, too, that I missed this thread before but I am fairly new to the forum. I certainly appreciate the help.[dazed]

    Entity Selection

    Actually I've finally tracked down the culprit and thoght I would post back if anyone else runs across this problem in the future. I, however, have no idea how the sysvar got changed in the first place. You need to type in SetVariable in the command prompt, type ? and * and scroll down to...

    Entity Selection

    Ok, I'm back for some more help. This is more than a minor annoyance. I don't know what I did but I was happily drawing away when all of a sudden I am unable to select more than a single entity during a command. I was able to select many multiples previously. There must be some variable that...

    Stacking Text

    Excellent! Thanks so very much for responding. That did the trick but I want others to realize that, while this works initially, when you edit the text it reverts back to symbols. In other words, 13/64 became 13#64 and I was unable to get it to understand the format so I had to erase and...

    Stacking Text

    In ACAD, I was able to stack text so that it would look like a stacked dimension. However in DraftSight I don't seem to be able to do this. For example, Drill 7/32" Dia. Holes - Typ. 4 places. I want the 7/32 to be horizontally stacked. Does anyone know of a workaround for this seemingly...

    Drawing Scale

    Thanks so much. I have been using the property painter but it was still a pain in the neck. So changing within the drawing is so much more efficient. I stand to learn something new every day! Thanks again!

    Drawing Scale

    Hi, I'm an "old school" ACAD user having started in 1989. I have never learned to work in paper space but have gotten along splendidly in model space all these years. Now, I've come out of retirement and am using DS. I can't find any way within DS to set up my drawing scale - i.e. 1" =...
