Selection Preview

When you are using fillet radius and you want to see where the radius will be make sure SELECTIONPREVIEW is on.

Objects are highlighted when the pickbox cursor rolls over them. The highlighting indicates that the object would be selected if you clicked it. The setting is stored as a bitcode using the sum of the following values:

0=OFF , 1=On when no commands are active, 2=On when a command prompts for object selection

Create Toolbar Macro to change layer info

Here is a quick example on how to create a Command to run in a toolbar. First thing you want to do is decide what toolbar you want the Command/Macro to run in. I have a separate CUI that follow me around version to version. If you were to add custom commands to the Acad or Civil CUI for example, when you upgrade versions you would have to remember what you added to those menus and that is to much thinking. So Create your own CUI/Menu!

Workspace Settings

Don't forget when setting up your C3D2013 to check the "Automatically save workspace changes". Nothing like getting all your menus and toolbars set, exit C3D and get in later and your stuff is gone.......

 

Resolving user specific issues by resetting AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013

Issue:
You have a situation where a single user is experiencing an issue with a particular command or setting. When another user logs onto the same machine, they do not experience the same issue.http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=19170578&linkID=9240697&CMP=OTC-RSSSUP01 

2013 Annotation Monitor

A new feature in AutoCAD 2013 is the Annotation Monitor

Marker Styles

Have you ever placed a Label style and accidently left the marker style set to a style you did not want??

So you think I will just edit the label style and set the marker to a different one...HA...nope..Not in the style of the label that you just placed. Why? Who knows!

Mask Dim Styles

Ever need to mask your text on your dimension Styles and can't find it?

Here it is. Under the text Tab on DimStyles change the "Fill Color" to "Background".

Pesky Unreconciled New Layers

Sick of that Pesky  dialog popping up all the time??

Turn the darn thing off then...

Set your LAYERNOTIFY=0 and LAYEREVAL=0

Bamm...gone.

Add this to your acad.lsp and it will set it automatically.

(setvar "layernotify" 0)
(setvar "layereval" 0)

It's an oldie.. but a goodie.
