Does anyone know how to scale ALL the blocks in a drawing simultaneously by their insertion points. I want to change the size of all of the blocks without losing having to move them back into position when I'm done. This shouldn't be too hard in LISP right? (I'm just learning LISP right now)
I had a 80MB CAD file. This was excessive so I deleted a bunch of stuff from the drawing. Then I purged the file of all the old blocks and objects used, saved it, and closed it. When I checked the file size, the file grew! I repeated this again and made the file really trim - and now the...
I allocated 1.5GB min to 3.0GB max to virtual memory and have a decently fast computer (or so I thought). BUT when I open this 64 MB drawing in CAD with about 25 tabs, everything gets really slow. What is 1GB of RAM good for if I can't ust it for large drawings? How can I fix this problem...
In paperspace I have a number of mtext items overlaying my drawing which will not print. I modified an existing drawing in which they printed out fine. They will only print if i convert the text font to Txt or RomanC (it is at Times New Roman currently). These are the only two fonts I have as...
I want my dimensions to be scaled to the scale I have of my viewports in paperspace. In Dimension Style Manager under Fit, there is an option to "scale dimensions to layout (paperspace)". I tried this but, even when I updated the dimensions, they remained the same size. It would make sense if...
I made a custom toolbar for frequently used commands, but, when I shut down AutoCAD and come back later to use it, some (Not all) of the icons have vanished. Instead, there are these revision-cloud-like icons with question marks in them. Why?

I created a drawing with a few custom blocks in it to use in DesignCenter. Unfortunately, I placed a couple blocks in the drawing that I didn’t want there – so I deleted them. When I saved the file and looked up the drawing in DesignCenter, the deleted blocks showed up. I returned to the...
