AutoCAD Tips Updates

March 24, 2010 by Edwin Prakoso Leave a Comment

news

Last week, I have published 25 favorite AutoCAD tips submitted by the competition participant. This is just a short post. I would like to post some updates and notify limitations about the tips:

  1. The tip #3: Using zoom extend while array still active apparently doesn’t always work. It works for relatively small drawings, but not for large drawing. Probably it’s about video memory or something. Thank you for Harold Kip, Harold Weistra, and Gerrit de Jong from AutoCADExchange.com for mentioning this.
  2. Tips #8: To enable stacking in block attributes, we need to change the system variable ATTIPE to 1. After you change the system variable you can modify the attributes using in-place editor, just like modifying multi line text! Thanks for Murray Clack for updating this.

6 Things AutoCAD Command Line Can Do for You (Infographics)

AutoCAD Command Line is the most important feature in AutoCAD. Veteran users can use two hands (one on the keyboard and the other using mouse) and draw very quickly. It is faster than relying on the GUI only.

The new users probably using GUI more than older users like me. They prefer the Ribbon and use the Command Line less. 

In this post, you can see 6 things AutoCAD Command Line can do to make your life easier. You don’t have to use them all, but at least you know it can be done. If you think it’s good, use it. But if you don’t like it, leave it.
