41. 【 If you want to insert a CAD drawing of what WORD? 】
A: the Word document production, often requires a variety of illustrations, Word drawing capabilities are limited, especially in complex shapes, the shortcomings are more pronounced, AutoCAD is professional drawing software, powerful, well suited to draw complex shapes, using AutoCAD drawing good graphic, and then insert the Word compound document is a good way to solve the problem, you can use the EXPORT function in AutoCAD provides first AutocAD graphics to formats such as BMP and WMF output, and then insert the Word document, you can also copy the AutoCAD graphic to the Clipboard and then paste in the Word document. It should be noted that, due to the AutoCAD default background color is black, while the Word background color is white, the first AutoCAD drawing background color to white. In addition, the AutoCAD graphic into a Word document, often excessive air side, the effects of unsatisfactory. Use Word Picture toolbar's crop function Truing, empty sides too big problem to solve.

AutoCAD form production
AutoCAD in spite of the powerful graphics capabilities, but the form processing functionality relatively weak, but in practice, often need to make in AutoCAD, such as engineering forms number table, how to efficiently make table, is a very practical problem.
In the AutoCAD environment by hand painting line method to draw a table, and then, then fill in the text in the table is not only inefficient, but it is difficult to precisely control the literal writing position, text layout is also problematic. Although AutoCAD support object linking and embedding, you can insert a Word or Excel table, but on the one hand, modify it is not very convenient, small changes you'll have to enter the Word or Excel, after the modifications are complete, and return to AutoCAD, on the other hand, some special symbols such as the level bar symbols and secondary,reinforced symbol Word or Excel is very difficult to enter, you have the best of both worlds approach, after exploring, you can better address the: first-in the form in Excel, copied to the Clipboard, and then in the AutoCAD environment select Edit menu select selective-towel, as. .. To determine, the form is translated into AutoCAD entities, use explode explode, that is, you can edit the line and side characters, very convenient

43 【 improve drawing efficiency approaches and techniques 】
Some people tend to ask such a question, how to improve the drawing speed in addition to some of the commands we needed outside of
Also follow certain principles of mapping
In order to improve the drawing speed, users had to follow the following principles of mapping:
1. Mapping step: set maps → set unit and precision → create several layers → settings → start drawing object style.
2. Drawing always use the 1: 1 ratio. To change the size of the images may be printed to paper space set different print scale.
3. for the different types of entity objects to different layers, color and line width, and the entity object's color, line style and line width should be determined by the layer control (BYLAYER).
4. required precise drawing, you can use the grid snap function, and set the grid snap spacing set to appropriate values.
5. do not place the figure boxes and graphics drawn in the same picture, layout (LAYOUT) figure box press block insert, and then print out the map.
6. for famous objects such as views, layers, tile, font, text style, print style, named not only simple, but also to follow certain rules in order to find and use.
7. will some commonly used settings, such as layers, callout styles, text styles, grid snapping, and set in a graphic template file (save as * .DWF file), then draws a new diagram, you can create new graphics Wizard, click "use template" to open it, and start drawing.
Second, choose the appropriate command
Users areable to manage AutoCAD, is it a series of commands. AutoCAD ordered immediately after execution of the order and complete the appropriate functions. In actual operation, although you can have a variety of ways to achieve the same purpose, but if the command well-selected, will significantly reduce the steps to improve the efficiency of the drawing. The following are just a few more typical case.
1. generate the line or segment
(1) in AutoCAD, using LINE, XLINE, RAY, PLINE, MLINE order may generate a line or segment, but only the LINE command used most frequently and most flexible.
(2) in order to ensure the object drawing between the Ministers are equal, Gao, wide homogeneous "correspondence should use XLINE and RAY command maps several guides, and then use TRIM shear cut off unnecessary parts.
(3) to quickly generate a closed fill boundaries, or would like to construct a domain, you should use PLINE command. Generated by PLINE PEDIT command line available for editing.
(4) when a build multiple parallel lines and the line segments may use a different color and line styles, you can select the MLINE command.
2. the text of the comment
(1), use a text annotation, if an annotation in the text have the same format, and a short comment, select TEXT (DTEXT) command.
(2) when you need to write large pieces of text, and text in a paragraph can have different formats, such as font, character height, color, special symbols, molecular formula, etc., you should use MTEXT command.
3. copy the graphicsOr characteristics
(1) on the same graphics file, copy the graphics just once, you should choose the COPY command.
(2) in the same graphics file, place a graphic casual copying multiple times, you should use MULTIPLE COPY commands (repeat) option; or, using COPYCLIP (normal replication) or COPYBASE (copy specified basis points) of the command will need to copy the graphic to the Clipboard, and then use PASTECLIP (normal paste) or PASTEBLOCK (in the form of a block of paste) command to paste to a number of the specified location.
(3) in the same graphics file, if you copy a drawing on a regular basis, such as the formation of several rows of columns, or along a circular (circular) evenly, you should use ARRAY command.
(4) in the same graphics file that you want to generate multiple parallel, interval equal to or not, etc, or to generate a series of concentric ellipses (ARC), round (ARC), etc., you should choose the OFFSET command.
(5) in the same graphics file, if you want to copy the number of fairly large, in order to reduce the size of the file, or harmonization for easy future changes, you should specify the graphics commands with BLOCK defined as a block, and then choose INSERT or MINSERT command will block insert.
(6) documentation in multiple graphics, you can copy a graphic between the two approaches. First, use the command operation. First open the source file using COPYCLIP or COPYBASE command will copy the graphic to the Clipboard, and then open the destination file with PASTECLIP, PASTEBLOCK or one of the three PASTEORIG graphics to the specified location. This is not the same as on the shortcut menu, select the appropriate options are equivalent. Second, use the mouse to drag the selected graphics directly. Note: in the same graphic file drag only mobile graphics and two graphic drag between documents is the replication graph. Drag the mouse pointer must refer to the selected graphic illustration line instead of a line of the pinch point. Also note that dragging with the left button and drag with the right button is different. Left is direct drag, drag the right will pop out a shortcut menu, the menu provides options to select the different modes for copying.
(7) in multiple graphics document copy graphics features, should use MATCHPROP command (needs and matching PAINTPROP command).
3. use Express tool (EXPRESSTOOLS)
The so-called express tools is actually a design for the userand with AutoCAD2000 together free utility library. Most of the tools in this library from preferential AutoCADR14 (Bonus) tool and the remainder is discarded or improved, and added some new tools. Express tools in layer management, object selection and dimensioning styles of input/output, graphics editing changes, and many other aspects of AutoCAD for extensions, and can easily combine AutoCAD2000 menus and tool bars, with fast and convenient, it can significantly improve the productivity of your drawing.
Install Express tool is selected when you install AutoCAD2000 "complete" installation, or choose a tool with the "express" option "user" installation. If it is not the case, should be based on the "add" mode to reinstall AutoCAD2000, and select Add "express tools.
By default, the startup AutoCAD2000 not express tools into memory to reduce the startup time. When you first use the express tool, the tool will automatically load the library. But you can also use the start command forcibly loaded EXPRESSTOOLS. In a properly installed the express tools, if the screen does not appear on the "express" menu, you can use EXPRESSMENU command will display the menu.
The following is displayed on the screen "express" tool bar:
(1) in the drop-down menu, select view > toolbar ... , The tool bar dialog box.
(2) in the name for the menu groups of drop-down combo box, select the "express".
(3) in the "tool bar" combo box select the required option. Where "X" option, the screen displays the tool bar.
(4) click the close button to exit the dialog box.
4. open or close some Visual elements
Graphic complexity affects the AutoCAD command execution and refresh the screen. Open or close some Visual elements (such as fill, line, text, marked point, highlight selection, etc.) can enhance the performance of AutoCAD.
(1) if the FILL is set to OFF, then close the entity fill mode, the new art of track, with a width of polylines, fill polygons, etc, but will display a profile, they are not output when printing. The fill mode to have the effect of a graphic, you can use the REGEN command is displayed. In addition, FILLMODE system variable except over fill mode, you control the display of all shadow line.
(2) close the wide line display. Wide line increases the width of the line. Wide line at print time according to the actual value output, but in model space is displayed according to the ratio of the pixel. When using AutoCAD drawings, the status bar of LWT button, or from the Format menu, choose the "width" option, use the wide line settings "dialog box will display a wide line, off to optimize their display performance. System variables also controls the current LWDISPLAY in a graphic display of wide lines.
(3) if the QTEXT is set to ON, then open fast display text mode. This pattern in the newly added text will be hidden to only show a border, printOutput. The settings on existing text effects, you can use the REGEN command to display. In addition, the system also controls the QTEXTMODE variable text is displayed. The text in the pattern more, the performance of the system are obvious.
(4) suppresses the marked points. The so-called signs point to select a drawing object or orientation point appears in the AutoCAD drawing area of some temporary markings. They can be used as a reference point that can clear the REDRAW or REGEN command, the print output does not appear in the drawings. Desire forbid marking point display can be set to OFF, BLIPMODE to enhance the performance of AutoCAD.
(5) cancel highlight selection. By default, the AutoCAD using the highlight "is currently selected graphic. However, the system variable HIGHLIGHT values are from 1 to 0, remove the highlighted when selected, you can enhance the performance of AutoCAD.
(6) by the way, the system variable REGENMODE value is set to 0, or set to OFF, REGENAUTO can save graphics automatically rebuild time.
5. timely clean graphics
In a graphics file may exist in some unused layers, blocks, text style, size, style, style, and so the callout useless objects. These useless objects not only increase the file size, and can reduce the performance of AutoCAD. The user should promptly use PURGE command to clean up. Due to the graphics object often appear nested, so often require users to use several times after PURGE command to clean up the unwanted objects.
6. use the command aliases and accelerators
AutoCAD for some of the more commonly-used commands or menu item defines the alias and the accelerator key. Use the command aliases and accelerators can significantly save access command. Command aliases are defined in the acad.pgp file. Use any text editor to open and edit the file, you can add, remove, or change command aliases. Use this method to define aliases, when re-entering the AutoCAD can use. In the latest software versions, users do not have to exit AutoCAD can use express tools redefine command aliases, but if you use this method, you need to first use of the newly defined alias, do the REINIT command to reinitialize the software.
Order accelerator key is defined in the file acad.mnu. To add, remove, or change the commands accelerator key, the user can only use a text editor to modify acad.mnu file for editing. Modified * .mnu file must be loaded using the MENU command and compiled, the newly defined commands accelerator key to be used.
　
CAD plans set password: autocad2004 and above can be

Step one: to encrypt the file is saved, the Save dialog box that appears, choose the Tools in the upper-right corner and then select its securityoptions ...
Step 2: in the open dialog box, on the Password ... The following input box to enter your password.
Step three: determine the second step, the password confirmation dialog box appears, enter again your password, just enter twice entered must match exactly. After your file is encrypted. When we opened again for the password. Forgotpassword file never open it, so it's a good idea to encrypt the backup file before.
