    Contract AutoCAD

    I know this isn't a exactly a question on how to use AutoCAD but I don't know where else to look for this information. I was wondering if anyone knows how to go about contracting AutoCAD services. I need to work from home and it's about the only thing I can think of to do. Any advice? Thanks!

    AutoLISP For Deleting Duplicates

    I have a drawing that is huge. This drawing came from another company and we are now maintaining it. The problem I have is that there seems to be thousands of duplicates on it.

    Remove Group LISP

    Does anyone know of a LISP that will delete all groups from a drawing. I don't want to delete the enities of the group - but just want to get rid of the grouping without having to manually delete each grouped object (hope that makes sense) Thanks!

I tried puttting it on the defpoints layer but the note I need to see in the CAD file and not on printed paper disappears. I don't want to freeze or turn off the layer because anyone working...

    Library Preview Box

    Hi there :) I used to use AutoCAD Light - must have been the 97 or 98 version (I can't remember now - I ended up changing jobs after my company had upgraded). The one thing I do remember is there being a library box that you could use - it would show all your blocks in a table and give the names...

    AutoCAD into Word document Line Weight Problem

    I am trying to figure something out - I need to take an AutoCAD drawing and place it in a word document. This works fine but the problem is that I need the lines to be thicker once they are in the word doc. I know this can be done with a WMF file but I need it to remain an AutoCAD drawing. Any...
