    Plastic Hollow Mandrels

    It was a shot in the dark, I didn't think there was anything commercially available. Unfortunately I can't say too much but we needed them to act as formers for an overmolding process

    Plastic Hollow Mandrels

    Help with AutoCAD DWGs and designating zones

    the easiest way would be to include that information in the block. You could develop a program that simplifies the block insertion and auto populates some attribute information, or the user could select from drop down menu's. Other than that, if the blocks were contained within closed polylines...

    Educational Plot Stamp! How to get rid of it?

    not to mention that any drawing the educational version has touched will now be infected... won't look good if any of your drawings go out of house... what will your clients think of you (even although it may not be your fault !) ? If that happened to me I would find the culprit and give them a...

    Panel Schedule Program w/ PDF

    I just wrote my own program to run inside AutoCAD. Thus when I "insert" the schedule it creates it with AutoCAD entities rather than ole objects or whatever. Much smoother, much faster and no printing issues, with the added benefit that I could format the schedule however I pleased...

    Drawing Approval

    an EDMS is an Electronic Document Management System. It's not part of AutoCAD, it's a separate software system in it's own right. However, the system I use is closely integrated with AutoCAD. For example, I have all the attributes in my title blocks linked to the system along with a number of...

    Drawing Approval

    I use an EDMS, it automatically records the date, time and name of anyone who approves or edits any document, and automatically keeps a revision of any changes.

    Scale-able blocks??

    have you placed your blocks in model space or paper space ?

    EXHIBITS

    What other information are you looking to include in your exhibits ? a new version of TIAH is in the works at the moment with additional functionality, like the insertion of street names, a reporting tool, a layout organiser and a load of other new stuff. I was on their website (...

    visibility of objects

    if that is what you are after, why didn't you ask that question in the first place ? The question you originally asked is completely different

    ResourceCAD has a free download to modify the visibility of blocks if you're interested www.resourcecad.com and goto the downloads section

    try using the ALIGN command. select the rectangle, then the bottom left as 1st source point, then endpoint of the line as 1st destination point, then bottom right of the rectangle as 2nd source point followed by other endpoint of the line as 2nd destination point hit return twice and you're done

    Excel --> AutoCAD with Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) method

    it's a lot easier to do it directly in AutoCAD using VB or VBA, and do away with Excel completely. for future reference, you should perhaps warn people that you have embedded macros in the file that you point to. http://www.resourcecad.com ~ for your CAD solutions .
