We have recently installed ACAD 2010, and are experiencing serious performance problems with our computers. Apparently the program puts a major drag on the machines. We are using pretty good machines. Is this normal? Are there any way to improve performance? It's really standing in the way of...

Lothar, thanks a lot. You're really knowledgeable, I think over the years you've been the one to answer most of my questions. Glad you're out there! Thanks again, Rob duPrey

Hi, I'm running 2006. Some time back I downloaded and added a hatch to my .pat file, which works fine. I now want to share it with someone here at work, and I can't figure out how. I think I added the hatch when we were still running 2002, and it was imported from my old settings when we started...

Can someone please explain/shed light on how to control the size of the breakline symbol available through express tools? I'm aware of the options available via the command prompt, size, extension, etc. But the overall size of the symbol seems to always change. In one drawing a size of 1/128th...

that diid it! thanks

Hi, I have a block with attributes that I use for room name and number when drawing architectural plans. Usually I insert the block, and I get prompted to enter the name, number, etc. in the command line. There are 3 attributes. All of the sudden, when I insert this block into drawings, nothing...

thanks for your reply lpseifert, I managed to solve the problem looking furhter around various forums. I believe the UCSVP was the system variable that finally did it. Thanks again, Rob duPrey

We're working ona drawing that, when we make new viewports, cannot be scaled; when you click in model space (from layout) it always reverts to extents. What's happening? Any Help appreciated. Rob duPrey

Lothar, Thanks for responding. Pretty funny, I guess you don't look at them as "european style hinges" in Europe. Anyway, in the US this is the generic term for adustable concealed hinges as shown here: http://www.blum.com/group/en/index.jsp Occasionally I have to show them in detail drawings...

Can anyone refer me to a site (manufacturer or otherwise) when I could download drawings for european style cabinet hinges? I've been searching the forum, but the usual references, (e.g. http://www.cben.net/) don't seem to have any. Thanks, Rob duPrey

Thanks CDH, That is essentially the answer I was looking for. So I guess if you have 2 objects to array, and they don't happen to be on the 0 - 180 degree axis, you'd have to create a reference angle from 0 degrees in order to pick you angle on screen. I always prefer to do that rather that type...

hi, I'm trying to arrange some objects along an arch using a polar array. I think I need some fundamental clarification about the polar array dialog box. 1. I created an arc 2. I've arranged the first set of objects in position at the beginning of the arc, ready for copying along it. 3. I've put...

thanks dilukshi, I didn't notice that sd

I finally happened onto the information I was looking for in my initial post, where is 2006 writing all the cui information to, where is the active .pgp file for 2006, so I can isolate a copy of these files to have in the event of a reinstall, or other calamity ( a given, for sure...) On my...

thanks borgunit, I will look into it. sd

thanks for your response WMO, but I was hoping for a little more information. The keyboard shortcuts I'm speaking of are not "control>0 for open" and that sort of thing, but the kind of command prompt custom shortcuts I used to do by adding to the "acad.pgp" file in earlier releases. For...

We're new to 2006 in our office (from 2002) and I was wondering a few things about how you create custom shortcuts, and save you personal customizations. I used to make a copy of my "support" folder aand store it remotely when I used 2002. If I had to reinstall, I'd paste the old folder in and...

thanks tcarpenter1, For solution 1, I never noticed that in my options. At our office we aren't really using the latest features available on 2005-6, so I guess it won't matter if I always back-save. But I suppose I'll be losing info from my drawings as I do, and eventually (we're new to 2006)...

Is there a way to save several drawings done in 2006 to a 2002 compatible format? I work in two locations, and files shared between the two, e.q. my block library, tend to get saved as 2006 format (who can remember to back save each time you close a file? it just happens...), so I can't use them...

thanks, will check them out sd
