Selection Preview

Submitted by tomshumpert on Wed, 07/18/2012 - 14:33

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

Importing C3D Styles into multiple drawings

Submitted by tomshumpert on Fri, 06/22/2012 - 07:02

Have you ever had to update multiple drawings with updated C3D styles?

Here is how you do it.

Turn "filedia" OFF

Put in your directory Path and Filename you want to be updated.

Turn "cmddia" OFF

"importstylesandsettings" is the command to import the styles

Put the DWG or DWT file you want to import with new styles here

"Y" overwrites the current styles in DWG

Tuesday TIP - Label Styles

Submitted by tomshumpert on Tue, 04/10/2012 - 11:50

Label Styles are great for keeping your design set clean and standardized. Make sure you sit down before the project and think of all the standard callouts you may have in the set. Don't worry, if you need one later just add it to your DWT file and import it into the sheets you need it in.

I had to create special style for the grade callout so the negative was in parentheses.(with help from RK McSwain!)

Viewports Vertical

Submitted by tomshumpert on Fri, 02/03/2012 - 11:53

Quick tip for the newb's....
If you are running C3D and have 2 monitors, split your view with viewport vertically.
This will allow you to have your plan view on one side and maybe your profile or cross sections on the other.
make sure to turn ucsfollow off so the view does not change every time you change active views.
